Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

What's your toddler wearing to bed in the heatwave?

(51 Posts)
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.

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.

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".
