Baby slef soothes in fleece sleeping bag - summer??

Bit of an odd one. My 9 month old is currently in a long sleeve 3.5 tog fleece sleeping bag and has been all of winter. I'm very lucky she sleeps really well.

The sleeping bag is starting to get a bit small so I have a long sleeve 2.5 tog one which isn't fleece so thought I'd start using that for her. Well tried it for a week and not had a single night slept through which is very unusual.

Yesterday at nap time she managed to grab the old fleece sleeping bag off the arm chair through the bars of her cot and it suddenly clicked that the feel of the fleece comforts her. So put her in the slightly too small fleece one last night and voila, full nights sleep, not a peep.

Well I've ordered a bigger size straight away and then realised, what will I do in the summer? I know you can get lighter tog fleece ones but surely they will still be too warm for summer? Wondering whether I should introduce a little fleece comforter or if that's not safe at this age?

Is it a coincidence or am I crazy?

I'm sure once it's a bit hotter and she gets all sweaty she will no longer be comforted. Also babies go through all sorts of sleep regressions where they have to relearn how to self sooth.

I'm looking for a 3.5 TOG fleece baby sleeping bag to keep my niece nice and toasty during the cold winter nights. What band of it?
