18m DS is currently sporting the lastest in the line of fashionable bedtime attire - his nappy.

We've got blackout blinds up which make it hot but windows open behind with jackloc's to stop anyone getting in or out.

He's currently still sleeping like a baby at 09.40 (which he never did as a baby!)

DS1 (2.6) Nothing (dry at night mostly)
DS2 (1.6) Just a nappy

Nappy, sleeveless vest and the thinnest cotton PJ shorts for my 21 mo. I was popping in late at night and putting a sheet over him but have stopped even that.

He has been ok. Been waking wanting a beaker of water in the night but after he has had that he nods off again.

DD Is 17 months old and it's either a vest and nappy or a loose fitting t-shirt, nothing on her legs.

DS1 5 - nothing under a light duvet kicked off!
DS2 - nappy and vest under a light duvet.

Windows open until midnight when DH comes to bed then closed.

During the day we are managing to keep the house at about 23 by closing all doors and windows. It is 31 outside at the moment, windows will be opened at bathtime to let a breeze through the house.

DD is 22 months and lately she has been wearing just a nappy with a sheet over the top. I leave the small window open but leave the larger two on the vent latch as I am paranoid she gets out or somebody gets in!

She is not coping very well today with the heat. Her hair is quite damp mostly and she is drinking water like it is going out of fashion. I'm only taking her out before 11 and after 4pm as it is so blooming hot here. Currently in the early 30's!

Cool bath, then nappy and a vest for 17 month old DD. Every window in the house open wide in the evenings to try and let all the heat out, before DD goes to bed, and I'm leaving windows on the latch and curtains shut in the day to try and keep it coolish.
Phew, what a scorcher!

Just a one tog gro bag then a sheet tucked round her feet to stope her falling out of bed. Off to buy a fan today and will use the tip fro the keep cool thread about putting a bowl of ice cubes near the fan.

Mine is 21 months and is in just a nappy in his 0.5 tog grobag. I tried to put him in no grobag but he loves it so much that he cried, so i put him in and he doesn't seem too bad.

Nappy only, window slightly open, on top of the duvet. He is still sweaty, has heat rah on the back of his neck and keeps scratching- poor mite. He slept poorly last night.

Don't know about toddlers, but my 5yo is sleeping naked!

sorry he is 2.2

ds sleeps naked with a sheet that he rarely keeps on him all night. His window is open (shutters shut) and has a fan on.

Open everything wide in the morning when it's still cool to create lots of draughts and let out the hot air. By 11 a.m. close curtains/shutters - I leave the windows open to keep the air moving but the sun is kept out.

Temperature, a manageable 23 degrees in the bedrooms yesterday evening.

DS1 is 3.4 and sleeps in full long sleeved pjs and pj trousers... He insists. He prefers to remain clothed and then kick off all covers it seems.

DTs (nearly 18 months) wear t-shirts and sleep in 0.5 tog grobags. Their room is furnace-like.

DS is 3, and last night was totally nude. I intended to sneak a nappy on at 10 (I knew he'd be dry then), but after that he woke up crying that he was a big boy who didn't need nappies, so took it off. Dry bed this morning !

18mo ds wears nappy and thin Grobag.

DD is 19mo and goes to bed in just a nappy, on top of her covers with a light sheet (which she kicks off anyway). She has a fan on her as well (we turn it off when we go to bed)

Dd3 is insisting on her pjs and her grobag. I'm not happy with having the window open for climbing out reasons so I've been leaving the landing window open and her door open to to get a through draft. If she gets as far as that she would just wander in to us rather than explore! She seems to be sleeping well but it isn't as hot here as it is down south I think.

Dd is 2.2 and wearing a shorts and t-shirt pj number. Quite loose, baggy cotton. She's still a sweaty betty though. No covers.

Not too hot in dd's bedroom as we keep the curtains closed all day. She's stubborn though and insists on pyjamas. I put her to bed in a vest and she gets up and changes into pyjamas. She's 2yrs 2 months. No blankets though, she kicks them all off whatever the weather.

nappy and short pjs. Just a sheet on the cot but he'd wriggled out of it by the time we went to bed for the past couple of nights.

Tepid bath before bed and I try and dampen his hair a bit. He hates having his hair washed or I'd be doing that every night too.

DS (9 weeks) just has his nappy and a sleeveless vest on.

I also put a soaking wet towel over the radiator under the window and have the window open a bit, so the draft passes over the wet towel and cools the air a bit.

Also give a tepid bath before bed and when he gets very hot I rub wet cotton wool over his head and face to cool him down a bit.

He's still a grumpy so and so though!

Good to hear you're doing similar things to me. Was worried with no top on she might feel cold in early hours but she was fine last night. Keeping blinds down in day def helped a bit yesterday but it's still just so hot! I'm pregnant so possibly feeling it more than dd is...

DS1&2 (2.4 and 9 weeks) are just in a nappy and 0.5tog sleeping bag. Windows open and fans on.

vest and a nappy and not even a sheet cos he cried when I tried to cover his legs. It is really horribly hot though, even with the window open. No fan either - he cried until I switched it off.

Had the blackouts closed most of the day and it's still horrible in his room.

We kept curtains closed in the bedroom during the day which seems to have helped keep the room cooler.

Poor DS is in a nappy and has just a sheet (which usually gets kicked off anyway). He's suddenly developed a phobia of fans - crappy timing. So we run it in his room for half an hour before bedtime, and we also try to close the blackout blinds (which are thermal, apparently) in the afternoon to keep the worst of the sun out.

Opening your loft hatch might help?

DS is 11mths, wearing a nappy and v loose vest (to keep prying hands out of his nappy) but its 30 degrees in his room. i've already got a fan on and i'm off to spray his curtains now

anyone with any other ideas?

ds (2) was in a nappy and nothing else, but woke up because the nappy had come undone. So now he has some cotton pj bottoms over the top. No sheet or blanket. Window slightly open with window lock on.

We leave all the blinds down during the day, close all the windows except for those in the loft conversion, then I open the windows when it's a little cooler. Seems to keep the house quite nice and cool. I think not having the window open during the day helps a lot.

The usual (t-shirt and sleeping bag for my 17m old). We had air-con installed a few years ago and is absolute bliss in this weather.

2.9 year old DD in our house, wearing just a nappy and still a pile of sweaty irrationality.

Watering down the curtains is a fab idea and I plan to copy that tomorrow. DD wasn't asleep until nearly 10.30. I can't take another bedtime like that!

DD(2.5) has shorts and t-shirt jamas because she insists on them, plus pull-ups. She will wake up soaked in sweat, but needs a shower in the morning anyway because she fell asleep on the way home from nursery and only woke up (having wet herself and the sofa) long enough to put on jamas and go to bed.

DS (6.5) has just pants on, and will also wake up soaked in sweat, no doubt.

DD is 20mo, she is in a nappy and vest top (vest mainly to prevent nappy removal) and duvet cover without duvet in it. Gave her a cool bath before bed. Our house isn't very warm, but she's a sweaty thing at the best of times.

dd is 2.4 and has on very lighweight cotton dress thing instead of pjs. Ds is 10 months and is in a vest that I have cut sleeves off and it isnt fastened. Very hot and sticky.

Nappy and little vest.
Also very hot upstairs, even with fans on and windows open...

I live in a dodgy area of SE london and feel that I cannot leave a window open overnight, so it is just on its tiny latch to allow some air circulation. We also have a fan pointed at her moving the air around and the door open and all the other windows also on the latch so there should be flow of air through, but its reading 28 in there which freaks me out a little. My LO is 7 months and is just wearing her nappy and a loose light vest but I worry. Should I? What on earth else can I do? Planning to buy a plastic spray thing tomorrow and water down the curtains so the evaporation will cool the room. Is there anything else I ought to be doing?

17 month old wearing just nappy. But she sleeps in with us so I tend to deliberately underdress her in case it gets too hot with three of us in there.

ds2 nappy/vest window open a bit its on lock

DS is 2, he is in just a nappy and short pj bottoms - no top. Fan on and window open. It's still 27C in his room! If you're worried, can you put a fan in there?

dd is 3 and is wearing nothing at all with her thin blanket over her.

vest and 1 tog grobag or just nappy and grobag.

DS (22m)is just in nappy and some pj shorts he wore a vest last night but was wet through this morning. he has a sheet in his cot but has kicked it off and the window is ajar too but its still stuffy!

dd is 23 mo.

She is wearing just a nappy and a sleeveless vest. I would leave her naked apart from the fact that I need the poppers on the vest because she keeps taking her nappy off ...

My kids are older but......

shower before bed
knickers/pants
sheet over top
window wide open

Why bother with clothes when it is roasting hot?

Just a nappy for my 19 month old. But he doesn't like clothes at the best of times and certainly not when it's hot.

My DD is also 2 (just turned). She has gone to bed in just a nappy and is on top of the covers, with the fan on.

If she gets cold she'll get under the covers but recently she has been sweating like mad. Her hair gets soaked!

My ds1 is nearly 2 and has a nappy on. I did put a light sheet over him, but that is now on the floor. The window is open slightly but is still quite hot in there.

DD is 20 months and going through stage of refusing to keep pyjama bottoms on. She wears baggy t-shirts to bed because I haven't been able to find any nightdresses anywhere to fit her.

He has a vest and a nappy. I gave him a tepid bath before bed and that cooled him down a lot. It is hot up there, even with all the windows open. He has just a sheet too.

DD is 2. Tonight she has just pj bottoms on and a sheet over her. The window is open a bit but not too much cos I'm paranoid she could climb out. (We're upstairs). Her room feels really hot and I feel a bit worried about it. What are others doing? Thanks.
