hot night- how many clothes are you putting your ds/dd to bed in tonight?

[toria77]

i am totally paranoid about overheating- ds is 6 months 26 degrees in nursery ive got him in a napy and cotton sleep suit- is this right??!! anyone know?

[jessicaandbumpsmummy]

just nappy and summer gro-bag here

[MrsDoolittle]

Dd is just in her reusable and fleece wrap.

And doing the light fantango in her cot by the sounds of it

[CarolinaMoon]

no blankets/sheets? sounds ok. have a feel of his chest/back after a bit and see if he feels hot.

[ja9]

vest and 2tog sleeping bag tonight. its hot in nursery but expect that temp will drop in night.

[toria77]

hmm yes- thats my only concern that he will be colder in the night.. but he woke with a heat rash ( i think) this morning...

[Seona1973]

dd will be in shorty pyjamas with a sheet over her (well it will be over her at the start of the night anyway!!). I dont think the temperature will drop too much so I doubt she will get cold.

[morningpaper]

If he gets colder in the night you can go and put something on him.

It's 27 in my dd's room and she's naked with no bedclothes and a fan on her! (she is 2 though)

My two aren't babies anymore - 6 and 3 - but they have got to bed starkers with windows open. It's too hot for anything IMO. I think if I had a young baby it would be nappy and short sleeve vest.

[toria77]

thanks... ah ... poor ds , i will be feeling his neck all night!!!

[charleepeters]

ds is wearing thin jammys no vest or covers.

[tortoiseshell]

Just pullup/nappy, plus vest for dd. No bedclothes.

[LeahE]

Just nappy and 0.5 tog grobag.

I'm interested in how worried people are about overheating, my mum had them last night and freaked because they are both in a room with the windows closed (blackout plus burglary risk) but no covers, just a babygro for 19 mo dd and pyjamas for ds, which he can take off if he wants. Surely there's not a risk of heatstroke given those circs? Sorry for hijack but I did wonder whether she was being over worried or if I was being lax, hadn;t occurred to me to worry before!

My DS (7 months) is in just a nappy - no covers. He doesnt like blankets/sheets, and when I put him in a grobag, he looked at me like I was the shit on his shoes and screamed til I took him out of it.

[toria77]

lol mooz good phrase!!

[toria77]

to be honest- it is all the SIDS stuff about overheating that has made me paranoid- but i am sure its an over reaction- i think it would be a problem if i had ds wrapped in woolen blanket with a wolly hat on- but im hoping the differnce between a vest/ sheet etc is not so crucial- unless anyone begs to differ

[moozoboozo]

I left DS with my 80 year old nan for half an hour a couple of months ago, and he was wearing shorts an t shirt (was a v hot day) when I got back, she's wrapped him in a thick blanket. The por sod was sweating his little balls off, but my nan is from the old school, where if a child was wrapped up as if they were going on a 10 month polar expedition regardless of the temp outside!!

PS, please excuse my appalling typing in the last post.

[moozoboozo]

By the way Toria, at 6 months, the chance of a baby being a victim of SIDS falls considerably so don't worry about it.

[toria77]

i know, thanks mooz just a paranoid 1st time mum

[helsy]

13 month old is in s/sleeved vest and nappy - I'll pop in and put a thin sheet over her before I go to bed.

[mmmmchocolate]
