Baby sleeping bags
Hello everyone
Baby isn't here yet but im nesting as the say and have a question about baby sleeping, we have planned to use a Moses Basket when baby first comes home, then when she is a bit bigger and or we are comfortable with looking after her we plan to move baby in to her cot bed, we want to use the sleeping bag thingys, I understand baby needs to be over a certain weight before she will be big enough to sleep in one of these bags so that party answers my question but... am I right in thinking that you have to use blankets in the Moses Basket due to the size of it ? also when in the cot they say put the babies feet to the bottom of the cot however babies feet aren't going to touch the bottom of the bag so how dose this work?
Thanks x

When they are in the bag in their cot, we would fold any excess bag under her feet, and her feet could still be feet at the end of the cot.
Just to echo the point made about swaddling...Lucas is 7 weeks today and will not sleep without being swaddled, and I spent a fortune on bags!!!

I would say don't order too much stuff yet and see what your baby likes when they arrive. They might hate swaddling! We swaddled in a sheet right at the start then bought some proper swaddle blankets once we knew she needed it.
I dont use the branded grobags as i find them too expensive. Tescos and Asda do them for ??10 but are only 2.5tog. I've picked up 2 off Ebay for 99p and ??3.99 in the 1tog style which is perfect for summer with just a long sleeve vest on.
We swaddled baby until about 4/5 weeks then he got fed up of being restricted.
I would advise putting them in a grobag as soon as possible - its what we'll be doing with next one anyway! x
