M won't tolerate her gro bag anymore, so is in vest, PJs with feet, one celluar blanket and summer quilt until mummy gets her big girl winter quilt and pillow this weekend.

H is in vest, babygrow, 2.5 tog gro bag, and mummy has had the heating on this week as it's been a bit chilly!!! 

 

Mae don't feel bad, it really depends on how warm your house is!!  Aimee's bedroom is still 23 degrees (no heating on!), I have her in a babygro and a 1.5 sleeping bag, i've only just put this on in the last few days when it dropped from 24/25 degrees!!

My DS's room has been going down to 16-17C overnight recently, so I've put him in a long-sleeved vest under his sleepsuit, and a 2.5tog bag - he's waking up a lot at night anyway, and I don't want it to be because he's cold.  If it gets any colder in his room I think I'll buy extra thick fleecy sleepsuits.  Anyone else finding it chilly at the mo?!

 

It is quite chilly now.

My DD is in 2.5 bag now with long sleeved pjs or a baby gro.  The heating now comes on at 6.30 so its nice and warmish when she wakes.

already in short sleeve vest, babygro and 2.5tog sleeping bag, use a long sleeve vest when it gets really cold.  We have a cold house, even with central heating on!! He sleeps so much better the warmer he is!!
I will be putting my second quilt in my 2 part quilt this weekend, hate being cold,

Does anyone use blanket as well with grobag.  Our house is freezing so 2.5 ok at the mo but won't be warm enough mid winter.

If you look in your red books there is a page that give the tog values of vests, babygrows, blankets etc and tells you how to calculate a comfortabe cover for your baby. I found it very helpful.

My girls (at 4!) are still in grobags (age 3-6 ones) and I use a 100% wool blanket over the top. They wear just PJs now, and are still in their 1 tog bags, but I'll change them tomorrow now I've read this  . In the winter they wear a vest, too, and when it's really cold, a cardigan as well!
Their room is quite cold in the morning as on the NW corner of the house, so I do wrap them up more than I would if they were i a warmer room

Hi

I have been putting DS in a 2.5 bag, vest and pjs or babygrow, my problem now is he keeps taking his bag off, its been on 3 times tonight, that said everytime i go in to him in the morning hes wearing just a nappy 

what age do you normally quit with the growbags
i was about to buy the 18-36m ones but not sure now if he wont wear them
think might try him tomorrow with his quilt and see how he goes oh i dont know

another question is...... can you use a gro bag when they move to a bed

~E~

 

My boys are in 2.5 or 3 tog bags (depends which is in the wash) and wear a vest and a sleepsuit (the type with feet), they were still waking up crying at 3am ish when the temp dropped so now also have a fleece blanket (doubled over and a coverlet/quilt thingy on top off the bags) they are a pair of cold morsels! They still wake up with cold hands and faces, they did have another blanket, but then they were waking up really pink and flushed so we took them off. And we have had the heating on too! We are in a detatched property near the sea, and it gets cold!! The temp was 15c in their room at the weekend!

If anyone finds higher tog bags please let me know!!

Hi

i was about to buy the 18-36m ones but not sure now if he wont wear them

E have you tried gro-bags with different fastenings on them? We have got some from Ikea - cheaper than normal grobags but v warm (used them camping and just started to use them at home now it's got chillier not sure of the tog rating am guessing 2.5) but the best thing is they zip up upside down, ie you thread the zip under their chin and when it's done up the zip ends up by their feet. Meaning it's difficult for a little person to unzip/climb out of! They're really bold colours and designs too..we had loads of comments when we went for a stroll at night when camping & the babies were snuggled up in them.

Shame you weren't closer otherwise you could've borrowed one to "try before you buy".
