advice and help wanted re cot bedding please
in Baby
hey ladies,
I'm looking for some help and advice re cot bedding and how it all works! this may sound a bit dumb so please bear with me!
We bought the stokke sleepi cot. And I also bought fitted sheets for it (as it's round) I haven't bought any other bedding.
My question is when baby arrives - do I just put the fitted sheet on the mattress and then put her in a gro bag and thats it? or do I need to put a top sheet and blankets on too then put her in a gro bag?
Do people just have all the blankets and stuff because they look pretty? I bought a bumper too so will put that on the cot...
just wanted to know what to do!
Thanks!! X X

Secondly it depends on the temperature of the room.
Thirdly it depends on the baby.
You just put a bottom sheet on the mattress. If the room is cold (less than 18 degrees) then you will need a blanket to put over them in their grobag. If they don't go in the grobag straight away then you need sheets to wrap them up in and then a blanket to go on top unless it is very hot in the room.
My LO hated me wrapping him in sheets and blankets, he kicked them off and wriggled his arms free. I put him in a grobag at 3 days old (he was 8lb 6oz when he was born so was fine to use it) and he slept so much better so you may find baby doesn't like whatever you choose to do, some babies hate grobags.
if your using the growbags you dont need sheets as its too hot and baby can overheat, the bags also come in different togs,
