First off, am very sorry to read about your loss. :( I can perfectly understand why you threw out the lot (a friend did exactly the same).

Sorry I'm pants at answering your questions, especially re footmuff; you might be better off asking in the Pushchairs topic. I had babies under the duvet with me (I'm sure that's against some official advice, but no apparent harm done). I would plan on putting blankets or similar over a sleepsac if very cold. Some people just keep the baby's bedroom heated all night.

The general rule is that baby usually needs one more thin layer than you do, to sleep comfortably at whatever temp the room is.
