   Just wondering what people are dressing their bubbas in of a night to go to bed.Normally 9month DS would have a singlet,nappy and then his summer grobag,but as it's so humid here in Hamilton not really sure what to put him in.He's sleeping ok,but when I get him out of bed in the morning he's quite clammy feeling.

   We were putting him in just a nappy and grobag, but we are still wrapping him in a thin cotton blanket, so lately only his nappy, I figure he'll let us know if he's cold.

   It's always muggy here in Singapore so we're probably more acclimatised but I put Callum in his nappy, a sleeveless AIO and then wrap in a muslin wrap.  We also have a 0.5 tog sleeping bag but he's too small for it yet, but would swap wrap for sleeping bag IYGWIM.

   Rowan just sleeps in pajamas or a little shortie romper suit and has a muslin. I've dispensed with the sleeping bag at the moment - it's just too hot.
 
 For a young baby - i.e. Rowan last year - try a nappy and then a muslin swaddle

   At the start of summer Ella refused to go to sleep in her sleeping bag because it was too hot so now she either sleeps in short sleeved PJs or a short sleeved AIO with the fan going and I cover her with a very light blanket before I go to bed.

   Gosh I must underdress Jack! He is in a nappy and pj shorts, no top and the fan going. He is much the same as DH and gets hot easily.

   I just have Alex in his nappy and covered with a muslin at the mo.  He will slowly slide his way out from under that as he wakes at night but the poor thing is so hot and breaking out in a lovely heat rash so I don't wanna put any more on him.

   Lindsay Rowan's the same. The only reason she doesn't have the fan is because I'm mean and I want it

   Man, I'd love to steal the fan back off the baby but then I'd get the guilts. :( 
 
She's been in in short sleeves and a nappy these past few nights - we would ordinarily have her in cotton sleeping bag as well but it's just too freakin hot. 
 Oh, and we have the windows open and the fan pointing at her; she wakes up a lot cooler and less sweaty than we do.

   I must be another under dresser I just put my DS in a cloth nappy and into bed. When I go to sleep I pull the cotton sheet over him but he always imediately kicks it off so he doesn't have any covers on him at all.
