Vest under 0.5 tog sleeping bag

Hello,
do I need to have a vest under a 0.5tog sleeping bag? The room is 26/27 degrees currently due to this heat wave! We’ve done everything to try and cool it down but it’s still very warm.
LO has a 0.5 tog bag and wondered if I have to have a vest underneath or can I just have a nappy on?
LO wakes up straight away if not in a sleeping bag unfortunately.

You don’t have to have a vest you can just use the sleep bag

I've gone the other way, vest and no sleeping bag. I thought LO wouldn't sleep without, but I have been surprised.

My DC just has a 0.5 tog sleeping bag on, nothing underneath.

Yeah, I'd be ditching the sleeping bag. So hot for them.

Mine is currently asleep in just a 0.5 tog bag and nappy. Would have just done nappy/maybe with vest but I just tend to find sleeps better in a bag.

Our room is 26c. She's in just a nappy and a 0.5 tog. It's an absolute sweatfest in there and I certainly wouldn't want any clothes on!

I just Google for the positive birth company's chart on sleeping bags and room temps if im unsure.

I'd say no op not tonight it's very hot

Mine gets cold legs when asleep which makes him grumbly so I'd go for bag and nappy, ditch the vest. Alternatively use a vest and tuck them in with a muslin to keep the draft and mosquitos off. My baby is a lizard though and prefers to be warmer than the guides say

DD is in a light romper and 0.5 tog bag again tonight - can’t trust her to be just in nappy as she has previous for whipping it off 😂 room temp is 26.3 🥵

We just put them in vests at that age and that heat

When mine were babies I made them sleeping bags out of a cotton sheet for these hot nights, which was perfect. Not sure if you can buy such a thing; I can sew, so made them myself.

In Australia, where it's very hot for a lot of the year, from babies they are used to sleeping in just a nappy, no sleeping bag or even a sheet.

Thanks for everyone’s replies! We went sleeping bag and nappy, seemed to keep him at an ok temp!
