My 2year old is a right fidget in bed and his cover doesn't stay on. What can I do to keep him warm during the night now it's starting to get cold?
Any tips?

My DD is just the same, she has a fluffy blanket on top of the mattress and a flannel sheet on top of that. I then tuck her quilt under the mattress on one side and at the bottom. Having a blanket and flannel sheet will help keep them. Warmer my daughter also has a monkey teddy which can be put in the microwave to warm up. And it works like a hot water bottle with out being too hot or the need for water. She cuddles it every night.

Hope this helps

My son was the same - I'd say get a sleeping bag - the night I put him in one was the night he started sleeping through as it was kicking his covers off all the time that was waking him up.

He's still a fidget arse but he stays asleep!

Yep, sleeping bags are brilliant!
2.1 yr old DS has uses them since a couple of months old. He often turns right round in bed so I suspect we'll be using them for a long time!

He did have one but he's to big for them now. Unless there's somewhere I can get a bigger one from?

DS is currently wearing an 18-36 month sleeping bag, and I think you can get bigger ones.
Try the grobag website.

DS is 18ms and just about to go into 18-36mo size sleepbags(they are a bit long at the moment). Once he's out of them, I've got the grobag sheet/duvet cover/pillow combo that is zipped together (ie pillow zipped to sheet so no going over face and sheet is zipped with duvet so no kicking off.
