| 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. ------------- http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

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. ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

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. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

| 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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
