What do your babies wear to bed?

I use a 2.5 tog sleeping bag for my 7m/o DS and am constantly fretting over what to actually dress him in for bed. I know there is the chart to indicate what a baby should wear but for some reason I find it confusing.

Last night for example my room was 18 degrees and the chart said to use a long sleeved vest and a pyjama top. All I could think was, "what about his legs??!!"

I put him in his pyjama top and bottoms but no vest.

I have been told that babies should not have two layers if clothes on underneath the Gro-Bag but that doesn't match what the chart indicates.

Sometimes if it seems really chilly I put a vest on DS, a full body popper sleep suit and then his 2.5 tog bag.

I find myself worrying more now that the weather is getting colder.

It was so much easier in the summer when a vest and 1 tog Bag was all that was needed.

I'm going to try putting him into his cot tonight then with as blanket over his gro-bag.

It is nice having him all snuggly under the quilt with me but he does disrupt my sleep Grin

Nappy and pjs, no vest. Then he has a quilt that gets put on and immediately kicked off. But sleeping bags and babygrows make him go crazy so I've stopped bothering with them. His room is somewhere between 22 and 16 as we have a wood burner and it cools during the night.
His body is always warm in the morning so I guess that's fine for him.

How did last night go writer? Regarding which sort of blanket; it's usually the M&P knitted type baby blanket he has on top of his sleeping bag. Or a thin cot-bed sized duvet when it's super cold (only pulled half way up his waist).
