Hello,
I'm due my first baby at the end of September, and am a wee bit flummoxed about nightwear and bedding. The plan is to have a snuzpod attached to the bed, but beyond that I'm not sure what he'll sleep in and have so many unanswered questions. For instance:
- Gro snugs. We have one of these, but if he likes it and we use them full time, how many would I need? They only go up to 12lb, so don't imagine they last long, so:
- Would a swaddle blanket be better? Either the gro-swaddle, the big ones from Aden and Anais, or similar? But then, isn't it a pain in the arse to have to unswaddle and re-swaddle for every night-time nappy change?
- And do the above things get covered in poo? (Planning to use cloth nappies, so leaks are a concern). If so, would I be better buying swaddling blankets rather than the more expensive gro snugs, for laundry rotation?
- Is the alternative to these just a cellular blanket up to nipple height? Do they need a sheet too? (autumn baby)
- I have some second hand Gro bags, but understand they can't be used for newborns?
- Do they wear sleepsuits (with sleeves and feet) underneath the swaddle, or is that too hot? Are sleepsuits only for if they're sleeping under a cellular blanket / sheet?
So many questions, I'm sorry. If anyone has any answers of any kind for me, I'd really appreciate it
