2.5 tog sleeping bag … what do they wear underneath

The guide would say a vest but I feel it is too cold. What is everyone else dressing their baby in underneath?

Just a vest for us under a 2.5 and he sleeps a dream. If he has any more layers on he wakes up sweaty. We don't have the heating on through the night.

It depends on the room temperature really. I see the room temperature and the tog, then I decide what to wear. For example, if I have 21 degrees in the room and a sleep bag of 2.5tog, the sleep bag is quite thick (2.5tog is standard winter tog) so I would use a vest with long sleeves only, nothing else. If I have a 2.5 tog sleep bag and a temperature of 18 degrees, I would put a vest with short sleeves (covering the shoulders) and a T-shirt or thin cardigan, and leave the legs naked. It can get quite warm inside the sleep bag.
If the baby sleeps in the cot, my suggestions are ok. If the baby shares the bed with you, keep the clothing light because your baby will heat up next to your body. I read that babies are programmed to resist cold better than heat. They were built to be born in caves or in the bushes. So they're equipped to stand a bit of cold (e.g. don't worry if the baby has cold hands). Too much heat is worse. Hope this helps.

Sorry I wrote a T-shirt but no, I meant a shirt or top with long sleeves (over the vest with short sleeves). So I would invest in covering the torso, shoulders and arms and leave the baby naked from waste down (except the nappy), which is the part of the body in the sleep bag.

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Is this true?
