Help. DS has decided to sleep uncovered.

DS is 16 months. During the hot weather he got too hot in his sleeping bag so he slept uncovered for several nights with varying clothes layers on.

Now it's got colder he has decided that he doesn't want a bag, any covers are thrown off and he won't wear any baby grows that cover his feet. I'm layering his clothing as best I can but I'm obviously worried about his feet being cold.

He's been sleeping pretty badly this past week but I think it's more teeth/developmental than him being cold.

Just put something over him when you go to bed.

Being cold won't hurt him, and maybe he has hot feet - lots of adults I know like their feet out

socks and tights?
had the same with dc at that age (but it was winter), for some reaon she decided that she wouldn't sleep in a sleeping bag or under a blanket so we dressed her in layers to keep warm.
usually: tights, socks, leggings, vest, long sleeved t-shirt or turtle-neck, fleece pj's.

If he's a heavy sleeper, can you manouvre him into his sleeping bag on your way to bed, thereby getting him used to it again?

Thanks for all these ideas. Unfortunately he's waking every hour tonight - most unlike him - and he's currently falling back to sleep on my chest. DP thinks he's ready for a bed. I'm not sure.

My DS has slept without covers for the past 5 months. We gave him a duvet but he gets too hot and every time I cover him up it unsettles him. I just put him in normal pjs and have had to accept that he is one of these people that are warm all the time! I'm the complete opposite! My only advice would be that he will cover himself up I he's cold. My DS is 22 months now so was probably the same age as yours when it started.
