Sleepsuit recommendation

Hi, I am struggling to dress my 8 month old boy at night during these hot humid nights. I usually put him in a babygro or vest on him covered with a cellular blanket but I am finding that he is either too warm or too cold as he kicks the covers off as he moves quite a bit whilst he sleeps. Can anyone recommend know a lightweight summer sleep suits? I’ve seen ErgoPouch in John Lewis has anyone tried these before?

Try a sleep sack. We had a really lightweight one for the summer, and they can't kick it off!

Which sleep sacks Inappropriaterasberry?

I have been using some supermarket own brand ones and they are just too hot and sweaty even the lighter summer ones. I don't think the fabrics are quite right for warmer weather. I'm struggling with this too.

We got this one, only 0.5 tog. Just put him in a vest and a sleep sack. No need for a blanket if really warm.

There are lots on amazon! I ended up ordering the wrong size in the end, it was too big, but it still worked!

I decided to give ErgoPouch sleep suit bag 1 tog a go. It was a good decision! My 8 month old has not slept through the night until now! It's a toddler sleeping bag with legs/feet which I think is best for my son as he likes too wriggle around and feels trapped in a traditional sleep bag. The ErgoPouch is a natural fibre sleeping bag Which is so gentle on my sons skin especially as the night have been really warm so he is just in a vest.
I think the best feature of the bag is that you can change the bag into a suit with legs which is so convenient moving my son from the car seat to cot on a let night visit to friends so I don't have to disturb his sleep. The ErgoPouch retails from £55.99 which is a bit more expensive than other brands however the suit is large so will fit your little from 6 months up to at least 2 years of age so it's well worth the cost and you font have the hassle of replacing the bag.
I bought my ErgoPouch in John Lewis.

We’ve been using ergopouch and it’s honestly made things a lot easier on hot nights. We just go by their room temp guide and it helps us feel confident we’re not over or underdressing. The 0.2 TOG is really lightweight and breathable, and the organic cotton doesn’t trap heat like some of the others we tried. It’s been a good fit for our warm little guy.
