keeping baby warm at night.

[littlepiggie]

Ds is about 7 months old, it is starting to freeze here at night and i will not put the heating on at night (1. think its to stuff, 2. is a long story).
He does not sleep well in a gro bag, so have fleece baby gros. He also wears a vest and a bay gro.
Hom much bedding should he need?

(yes i know it is a dumb question, and yes i stick my hand down his top but need reasurance)

warm even

My dd never feels the cold much either. I go to first time mums club and see all the other babies wrapped up to the nines and feel guilty that I have underdressed dd, but dd definately does not like being wrapped up. Only in Kent-not that warm!!!! Distinctly grey and miserable today!!!!

When DS was a baby we were living in Bulgaria which could get down to -15. We also didn't have the heating on at night but I did have one of those plug-in oil filled radiators in his room that would come on automatically if temp dropped.

He is another "kicker-offer" and would sleep in vest, babygro, cardi if particularly cold and grobag. Or one of those fleecy all-in-ones.

He wake up cold again last night, but it was bitter, it was only 4degc today in the middle of the day.

The daft thing is it does not bother him in the day, he is at his happiest with no nappy on.
