Oh popsy that is rubbish. I have a covers hater too but she is ok in a fleece suit over everything else. We do keep the heating on at night too well at least the thermostat at 15.

I wonder if it is the built in feet that bother him or the whole thing. Nightmare with the sleep situation when they get cold too, I know I've been there. Sneaking around child who has the hearing of a bat even when asleep trying to put covers on praying that they won't wake up.

I discovered mine wakes up when she gets twisted up in covers think that is why she hates them, maybe even from a newborn she wouldn't keep them on.

Fingers crossed for you.

he has happily gone to sleep with a light duvet over him tonight as long as it wasnt tucked in....
