What do you put your baby in for bed??
Hi my little girl is 14 weeks old. For bed she has a Baby grow, vest and a sleep suit (can't remember what they are called now!!! ) it's a tog of 2.0.
I am very very worried over Cot death so i am obsessed by her overheating, but in the same respect don't want her getting too cold.
What do you put your little one's in,clothes and blanket wise? x

And then she has two blankets ...
I might get her a 0.5tog sleeping bag (is that the name you were looking for?) and have her in that and a blanket to keep it secure.
(I'm pretty obsessed with Cot Death too, I'm constantly going in her room in the middle of the night to check the room thermometer)

I live in a really warm house so have just ordered some 1 tog sleeping bags and will put her to bed in the sleeping bag with just a vest on! I struggle to get the room bellow 23/24c!

Put a light blanket over the sleeping bag if you're worried though.
Jojo... Surely it's just for pure hygiene to change a baby into pyjamas for the nights...?
Re what to wear, someone on here said a cold baby will tell you, a hot one won't. My LO wears a long sleeved vest and until recently it was under a 1 tog grobag, now its a 2.5 tog one. As it gets colder I'll swap it to a short sleeved vest and sleepsuit under the grobag, then later on add blankets as and when necessary.
I don't bother with thermometers, just go by how it feels and how warm he feels. Whilst it's recommended that the room is 18C, different babies have different core body temperatures so have different needs iykwim?
at the moment it's around 22 in our room and she wears a babygro in her 1 tog bag. or, if it's a little warmer, a long sleave vest. by body suit they mean a vest. grobag doesnt have bottoms on the baby until it's very cold. i find dd's arms get cold, which is why i always go for long sleeves unless it's very hot.

It depends on the weather really as to what she wears for bed, but she generally has a babygrow and a sleeping bag - sometimes a 2.5 tog one nad sometimes a 1 tog one. She had a 0.5 tog one when it was hot during the (blink and you missed it) summer. There were also a few nights in July, I think, where she had on just a long sleeve or,one time a short sleeved, vest. Phoenix - I completely agree about the sizing. T has just gone into 6-18 months bags and on some of them the arm holes are enormous - and she's 9 months and average sized!
Our room is usually between 21-24 degrees. Alana wears a long sleeve sleep suit, I only put a blanket on her if temp drops below 23 but she tends to be quite a warm baby anyway.
i could be wrong, and i apologise if so, but I suspect she is a troll based on that comment and her thread about solids :roll:
