what to wear for bed?

hello, wondering if you could help me, my baby is 9 days old and so far i have only dressed her in a baby gro with legs for her bed time but recently i think the weather has got cold and considering putting a sleeveless vest on underneath her baby gro but worried this will over heat her.
is this a wise choice or have i been under dressing her any way?

    what is the temperature of the room where she sleeps? if it drops below 21ish then i would definitely use a vest and a babygrow, it also depends if you also use blankets or a sheet to cover her with?
    my LO is 8 months and his room is around 19 at the moment and he wears a vest, a babygrow and a 1 or 2.5 tog sleeping bag, his growbag came with a really handy temperature guide, before then i had probably been under dressing with just a babygrow or vest!

    congratulations!

    my baby is currently in a babygro, no vest, but in a sleeping bag of 1 tod. the room is 21 degrees. if it drops below that she'll be in a vest. if it drops to 18 i put her in a 2.5 tog. i also refer to the temperature guide every night too!

    The boys room currently varies between 18 and 20 and I have them in a short sleeved vest, a sleepsuit and a 2.5 tog sleeping bag.

    The room temp makes a bigger difference than the temp outside. We moved the boys room a couple of months ago and their old room was small and over the kitchen so was always hot (they went into their room just after Christmas and didnt need a vest!) However, now they are in a larger, cooler room, and have been in a vest for a good few weeks.

    Hope that helps hun...you'll know if she's cold as she wont sleep well. Its more important that she isnt too hot.

    I can never seem to get this right, which may explain the sleeping issues. At the moment its 20 degrees in Ty's room and he's in a full length babygro and a 2.5tog swaddleaze (but not swaddled), he also has a fan on in his room, but when he's dressed warmer he wakes more often...

    Hi,
    This is what the gro company suggest for the different temperatures:

    This is interesting because we only recently started to use a sleepbag, as LO wriggles out of blankets etc. I put her in a sleepsuit & 2.5tog sleepbag, the room temp is normally 21/22'c. Do you think she needs a vest too? Shes been waking more frequently the last 3/4 days in the night, which would coinside with the temp dropping outside etc.....bless her! She had started to sleep through the night from 7.30pm-5.30am image)
