Blankets ??

Safe T Sleeps are a personal choice, we loved ours and I wouldn't be without them but I know a lot of people choose not to use them.

Blanket wise I wouldn't panic too much initially as it will be summer and relatively hot. A woolen aircell would be good as it will breathe but don't get a really heavy one.

I use sleeping bags rather than blankets for the gremlins now coz I find they don't keep blankets on.

i got an aircell from baby factory - didnt think it was that expensive - and love it. never had a safety sleep tho and after hearing how some people have trouble weaning off them am glad i didnt get one.

We used sleeping bas with both boys and never had problems with them waking up because they were cold. I'd really recommend them. We also used safety sleeps with both and found them great although, have used them more at other people's places so we could safely sleep them on a bed.

We use sleeping bags as well, I do have some blankets as well for using in the pram etc. I mostly have cotton cell ones, didn't bother with wool. I also have some fleece ones which I put on his playgym when it is cold to help stop the drafts coming up through the floor. I have one huge thick cotton blanket that I use to take to peoples houses so that I can put him on the floor to have a kick about without worrying about him sicking on their carpet or getting too cold.
Also you can get travel sleeping bags which are really handy then if bubs is asleep in the carseat you can transfer straight to bed.
We also use a safe T sleep as he learnt very quickly how to move around and I found him with his head shoved into the top of the bassinet, then I got the sleeping bags and he somehow he managed to do it one of those as well so now he has to be strapped down for his own safety.
