Hi, my baby is 12 weeks old and is 7 weeks corrected! I put her down on her back, feet to foot position in her mosses basket. She's started moving more her bed in the night and when I wake up she has no blanket on her (presumably kicking it off) and feels cold(not found a sleeping bag that fits her correctly around the neck yet as she's very little) is there anything I can do?

I think once they are wriggly, it doesn’t matter how tightly you tuck the blanket in, they will kick it off.

Have you tried the Tommee Tippee gro bags? They have a smaller gap for the neck than others I’ve seen and are supposed to be suitable for small babies, from 5lbs.

Try rolling some towels and put them in a U shape at her feet/head and swaddle her?

Midwives in the hospital had to do this with DS as he was so small and kept thrashing covers off as it was too roomy
I do this now at home in his next-to-me but in an L shape as there is just three sides

How much does she weigh OP? I think most sleeping bags are suitable from 4kg though some do make them for smaller babies as PP mentioned.

Have you tried a swaddle? I used the Velcro ones with my DD who was born weighing 1.6kg.
