frozen baby - needs giant babygro?

[micromummy]

our flat gets icy icy cold at night and my 2 year old is pointing this out pretty strongly at 1 in the morning most nights. He doesn't do blankets etc (not for more than 5 mins) and he's already going to bed wearing a vest, pyjamas, socks, and a heavy weight grobag. I wanted to get him a giant-size furry/fleecy babygrow-like thing but no-one seems to sell them in his size (he has long arms and legs....) anyone seen anything like this around?

Woolworths and mothercare do fleecy all in one babygrows up to about age 6

Will have a look and see if I have anything not too girly, got some last year in Tesco

i have several for my 7yo DD who loves them. from mothercare

what about joggers and fleece on top of PJs? I'm assuming he still wears a nappy at night - if you need to change him an all in one is a PITA

my 2year old ds doesnt do blankets/quilts either and gets v.cold in the night, ive now started putting a thick jumper over his vest and pyjamas and a pair of fleece jog bottoms and 2pairs of socks

Carrefour in France, if you know anybody out there, have them up to age 12 (!!) With feet!!! In fleece.

Also make him wear a hat to conserve heat- lots lost via head.

And I sympathise about cold house- ours has been like a bloody fridge since this cold began.

What about a snowsuit?

How about a radiator ?

pmsl! pizpiz

my 2.5 dd has a cold room and doesnt do blankets either - she goes to bed in her normal pjs and when i go to bed i turn on her oil filled radiator - keeps her lovely and warm all night

i had some from Boots a couple of years ago, don't know if they still do them though?

I got a 24 month one from woolies and cut the feet out (for comfort-lving dd2 (3) last winter, then put woolly socks on her

she likes the fuss

I got some for my 3yr old and 6yr old from Primark last year and Dunne and Co. They love them, call them snugglesuits, and wear them in the mornings instead of dressing gowns.

Yes they go up to really big sizes in mothercare.
I think the radiator idea is a good one. My dh got some tiny plug in ones a few years ago from work. I think they are oil filled.
They have a thermostat thing on them so they turn off when the get to the temp you want.
When we have them on in the kids rooms it makes a real diff.

I bought one in Tesco size 2-3 years reduced down to £6.00. Its not really thick but fine with a long sleeved vest underneath!

matalan also do them up to age 6 they have got some in the sale

sure I saw these in H & M for older kids...

many thanks for ideas - we've got two six pound fleece suits (age 3-4 so that should cover him up) from Tesco and a little radiator so we'll see whether he thinks comfort levels are adequate now....no doubt there'll be another reason/excuse to wake up and sing though (teeth pending)! hope he settles down again before next baby (due April)

Asda do them - saw a HUGE one for a 6 yr old today.

Saw the ones in Primark, lovely soft fleece with feet. I got DD the fleecey PJ's really cosy.

DS has one of these for chilly nights. It's actually a bit too warm for him as our double-glazing keeps the flat reasonably warm.
