It's been pretty cold here lately so our daughter has been wearing a singlet and flannelette pj's. In her cot she has a flannelette sheet and a doona. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that I have bought all my sleep bags from op-shops, check out your local and save a fortuen...if too big still use, either roll the sleeves or if they don't need hands to take a bottle, pin their arms within the bag and don't use the arms at all...if they're tooooo big. lol

We just used a fleece sleep sack. It was very warm. You could try a fleece sleeper underneath too. These worked for us.

All I ever had was a sheepskin underlay, sheet, bub in singlet and all in one suit or tracksuit, sheet and cotton blanket. I tried sleeping bags but all my kids were squigglers like me and ended up with them twisted around themselves, so I got rid of them.

The other thing would depend on where you are. I am in Qld so it is not as cold as southern states. If I was down there, I would more than likely put another blanket on the bed.

when he was small

we used to dress him up in the baby wondersuits so his feet and hands are covered and put him into the baby sleeping bags

When we had Alex we lived in one of those old weather board place and it was so cold. we used to put a singlet on him and the baby all in one suit as well as one of those baby sleepingbags and then a sheet a cellu blanket a woolie blanket and that was it.

Hi there

I would be investing in a sleeping bag. They are great and you can buy all different types for warmer to cooler. Im still yet to find a baby that will sleep all night and not come out of its blankets so a sleeping bag is the only way to go!

I originally used sheepskin underlay and would add a couple of cotton blankets, sometimes a light cot quilt if it was really cold. I also found adding the muslin wraps that everyone seemed to give me came in handy in layering as they weren't too heavy. But in the end I had to get a sleeping bag because he would always wriggle out. So it was singlet, wondersuit and sleeping bag.

hi- just wanted to add what they told me at the hospital...comfortable plus 1 layer meaning if we are dressed similarly ie:shirts and shorts then they are okay with that plus another layer.....hard to explain really :)

My bub sleeps in a singlet, flannel pj's or skivvy & leggings & socks in a polar fleece all in one, I cover her when she goes down...I cover her again before I go to bed (around midnight...I'm a night owl)...If she's sleeping ontop of blanket #1 I have a spare at easy o noisy cupbourds having to be opened reach.  We turn the heater off when we go to bed & I don't think this house (rental) has insulation...but she never wakes up freezing...though sometimes she has cold hands which is the only things I don't cover with an item of clothing LOL  Just rug him up  maybe get an oil radiator if you're really worried.

Hiya

My little man sleeps with a long sleeve suit on and a sleeping bag. And in his cot we have flannelette sheets with a cellular blanket and a quilt as well. Most of the time he wriggles out and sleeps on top of the blankets, hence the sleeping bag. But even when he does stay under his sheets he doesn't get too hot. If it is a warm night I leave the quilt off.

Hope this helps you...Txx

most cots would have 2 blankets and a sheet.. What i did with my children when they were babies was have a sheepskin under their sheet, and then dress them in the sleeping bag suits as they keep bubs warm.....

Kept my bubs warm. hope it works for u as well..
