Can anyone help with this "grobag" question?

[threeangels]

Hi Everyone,

Took 2 hpt's at home several days ago and both were positive. Definatley pregnant this time unlike the last time when I thought I was and made so many announcements to friends, family even on mumsnet (I can never keep this kind of thing a secret). I felt stupid in the end having to take it all back.

A while back on another thread I had ask if someone could give me a link on a US company that sold grobags. I was given the link and now I cant find it. I beleive it was on a thread about grobags. I'm only 5 wks preg but I have always been one who likes to shop early for things. Babies take so much and with our budget I really have no choice but to start picking up things early on.

Hope someone out there can find this post with the link I can automatically click on. Thanks

Oh yes they can roll in them - and sit up, and kneel up. DD (also 9m) does sometimes get a bit twisted, but seems perfectly happy to roll back and untwist herself.

Yes, they can do almost anything in a grobag (though ds has yet to learn how to climb out of the cot) - sit up , stand up, crawl around the cot, roll over....

I usually take my ds (22mths) to sit on my bed in the morning to drink his milk. He can climb off the bed, shuffle over to get a book, get back to the bed, whinge until I've picked him up again, and crawl until he's sat next to me in the perfect "be read to" position, all while still in his sleeping bag!

I like to think of it as all good training for future school sack races

I agree with the rest here - the Grobag in no way stops babies from rolling, sitting or standing up!

Guess I'll be the dissenter -- neither of my kids could roll in GroBags and they absolutely hated Grobags for it. Sure way for the whole family to get no sleep with DD screaming about it. DS did learn to walk in his, eventually; I now put the kids in double layer fleecy outfits, or under feather duvets (very light so don't seem to impede moving around in one's sleep).

Why is it me? All these things that work so briliantly for most other people are completely hash in my house: Grobag, BuggyBoard, IUD...

Our ds could not only climb out of the cot in a grobag, but walk, sack-race style, in it too by pushing his feet into the corners and grabbing hold of it at the front.

Try a mail order site called JoJoMaman Bebe on the Web to find a brilliant range of sleeping bags for babies up to three years.

Thanks for your replies - DS managed to turn himself over at about 6am this morning, and then slept on until 8am - fantastic!! I'm sure it'll never happen again, but enjoyed the extra couple of hours in bed this morning!!
