How many layers have you got your babies in at night now?

I'm wondering if my dd sometimes gets a bit cold at night. She is currently wearing a sleepsuit and a 1 tog sleeping bag as our bedroom is currently 21 degrees C when I put her to bed. What have you got your babies in? My dd is 5 months.
thanks!

DD 13months has on vest, pj's. thin baby blanket (trying to make it her comforter) and baby quilt, so thin but don't know how many togs...

But when she wakes in the night she will come in with me and kick the duvet off her all night...

I don't understand why adults have like 13togs and babies only have 2.5 or similar?? Can someone explain?

I thought babies would need the same as us??

Babies aren't able to control their internal thermostat as well as we are so will overheat very quickly and when a baby overheats they are at risk of febrile convulsion.

DD (7.5mo) is in a short sleeved vest and a long sleeved nightie with the long bit at the end, sort of like a sleeping bag but not padded...IYSWIM!

About 22 deg in our room.
