Newbies what to sleep in

[user1479669774]

Hello,

My baby is due anytime now but I'm having a minor freak out about what they should sleep when it's really hot.

Our bedroom is really warm even with the Windows open. I've heard babies should wear one more layer then adults but I'm currently not sleeping with any covers and wearing thin short shorts and a strap too thats usually pulled up over my bump (very fetching i know)

Is anyone able to advise please

Thank You

Hi OP, mostly we had baby in a grosnug so her upper body was swaddled (had summer and winter versions), when really warm we'd have her in nappy and a short sleeve vest

I had the same freak out too, i'd just check her chest at her night feeds to if she felt ok, always found the vest just fine for her when very warm

Just a sleepsuit or if very hot just a vest

A giant muslin square (not the normal sized one) might be a good think to but, they are only a few pounds.

It's a very light, thin and breathable material. In I'm very hot weather baby may be fine in just a nappy and muslin swaddle.

It very much depends on the actual temperature of your room, in degrees. Rather than just hot/warm etc

...thing to buy...

Ds2 has slept in just a nappy a few times in the really hot weather. Better a bit cool that too hot. I check him often (he's in the cot next to the bed) and put a light sheet or blanket over if I think he needs it.
