Got Bag Question

Hello!

My house temperature seems to flit between 18 to 21’c. According to the Grobag info I have that’s the difference between using a 2.5tog or a 1tog 🤔

I have a 1tog but don’t want her to over heat or get to cold! Just wondering what you ladies would do.

Too cold is preferable to too hot.
What is she wearing and how old is she?

CJ1990 · 26/10/2018 19:34

She’s 8 weeks - I normally have her in a vest, onesie and then a cellular blanket. She hates blankets though and doesn’t sleep well so wanted to try a gro bag. Thinking it maybe more cozy for her

I’d probably do babygrow plus 1 tog bag, if she seems like she’s too cold or it’s a chiller night then I would add a vest. See how she gets on. Better to err on the side of a bit chilly than to overheat.

I posted a similar question.. Although ds is 7 and half months old and our room is usually about 18 but currently going between 16/17.. I usual have him in a sleepsuit and 2.5 tog bag but not sure if he should be wearing more .. Eg short sleeve vest plus sleepsuit plus 2.5 tog bag..

Our house is about that (though closer to 18). Mine is in a long sleeved vest, baby gro and 2.5 tog bag. 1 tog would definitely be too cold for the overnights. Can you regulate your thermostat so it stays a bit more stable?

I would personally go for a 2.5

1tog won't last long with the cold weather coming so if you haven't bought yet it seems a waste of money. I have dd 17mo in a 2.5 tog and her room says 23 currently.

Ds 10w is in a 1tog (only because up until now our room has been 24+) and now has a vest and sleepsuit under it, but I will be getting a 2.5 soon

What's the lowest temperature overnight? I would use that to judge. I'd personally get 2.5 tog at this time of year

I found this on Pinterest when my baby was little and found it helpful

I'd do short sleeved vest, baby grow and 2.5tog. Really don't think 1 tog is suitable for winter.

CJ1990 · 26/10/2018 20:21

Thank you :) so maybe a onesie and the 2.5tog?

Yes, at 8 weeks I'd do onesie and a 2.5 tog. Throw a vest on if you think she's cold.

Smurf123 · 26/10/2018 20:36

Thanks @spr
I’m going to go with vest babygro and 2.5tog tonight
