the twins that i am night nannying for are just in a vest for bed as their room is about 26 degrees which is too warm even for their 1 tog grobags.

They still sleep beautifully grin

DD2 is just in nappy and 1 tog grobag and still feels warm, DD1 was the same, it is 25 in their room with both top windows open.
DD1 is in short pj's and a duvet that gets kicked off in her sleep!

Pyjamas. Socks if you're worried about his feet getting hot. No need for covers if it's warm (DS just kicks them off anyway).

I put DS in a babygro and covered him with a cellular blanket (I also only have a 2 and 2.5 tog grobags!) and he still seemed hot to me! He keeps kicking his cellular blanket off but that's ok as it's breathable...

i left dd in vest and sleep suit and lost the gro bag last night. read the instructions on my 1 tog one and it was still too hot in her room for that.

can you not just use a sheet over him or light blanket? If he kicks it off it's so warm it doesn't matter. Alternatively, pyjamas and nothing else (or t/shirt and light trousers).

How about if you open the grobag a little at the bottom for some extra air. Or you could do what I did when getting dd out of them, which was to put her to sleep in it, and then to take it off once she was asleep, replacing with a light cotton sheet.

Have ordered a 1.0 tog one but hasn't arrived yet and it's so hot.

Last night nursery thermometer read 25 so I put DS in a short sleeve vest and 2.5 tog grobag and opened his window. But think he was probably roasting... Has a cold too which can't help.

I know people must have coped before grobags - what did they do on a hot night last night?? What shall I do tonight?

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
