How do you keep your DCs warm at night?

[fruitstick]

I have to DSs. DS2 is nearly 12 months and hasn't slept through since about November (did bring him into our bed, then tried getting him to settle which took ages).

DS1 is nearly 4 and has always been a good sleeper but has started coming into our bed at around 5ish.

After much debate about insecurities, separation anxiety, developmental stages etc I have decided that they are COLD!

On Sunday and Monday we left the heating on overnight and both slept until 7. Last night they were both up between 3 and 4.

DS1 wears pyjamas and has a duvet. DS2 is in a vest, babygrow and 2.5 tog duvet.

We are living in a rented house and have no timer/thermastat on the boiler so can't leave it on over night at a lower temperature, and we both swelter if it's on overnight. But we do have the heating on in the evening so if we wrap them up for bed they'll be too hot.

Can I put a duvet on over DS2's sleeping bag before we go to bed or will he melt?

Sorry, this is very long for such a trivial issue! What do you do?

Thanks Steffi - I was in town earlier and thought I'd have a look but ds pulled me past to the far more enticing ELC (hmmm).

For anyone else who is interested, I have found these which are expensive, but I am considering......

Here is the website. Got one for me (for camping) and one for dd. They're very warm.

Thanks Alexw.
They look very snuggly, do you think more or less snigger potential than a slanket?!? Actually only I would see it so who cares.

When camping in March I don't care who sees it or laughs - i have the last laugh by being warm! They're great.
