Another Q about how to dress sleeping baby 🥲

Blankets will be fine for the first few weeks, just tuck then in, then order once you know if baby likes being swaddled and what size they are!

perfect thank you! Does the hospital give you a blanket to swaddle at all? I need to order a cellular blanket too though so will look at using that to start with otherwise!

@Issy hospital doesn't give you anything! Choose a blanket with holes (something someone knitted?)
Remember you have amazon /vinted / you can go to the shops when you have a baby. Just buy lots of nappies and a few packs of babygrows and then see what you need :)

The Clare de Lune cellular blankets are great for moses basket / sleep / pram - https://clair-de-lune.co.uk/products/soft-cotton-cellular-pram-blanket

Thank you both! 😌

just ordered these and feel so much lighter haha, thanks for your help!

honestly it’s mad how much these things can weigh down on you! These blankets were our go to in the first few weeks so hopefully you’ll find the same 😊

I used the Tommee tippee gro bags from birth! They are from 7lbs which is the 0-3 size. I used them with my baby boy the day he was born, you can choose to swaddle or to keep arms out. They are £££ but I brought mine from Vinted! xx

My room is between 16 and 18 but newborns like to be warm! I'd go for 2.5togg and then work the layers out underneath but that's just what I did/ would do! Xx

oh I’ll check these out too, thanks so much 😊

I go for 2.5 below 20 and just change layers depending on room temp. So tonight it started at 19 and I know it will drop to 17-18 so she’s in pjs and a 2.5 tog. But last night she had a vest, pjs and 1.5 tog as it was 20 then dropped to 19. Usually 1.5 for 20-22, 1tog for 22-24. Tommee tippee Gro bags are great, we’ve used them since birth and now she’s older we use Asda George sleeping bags x
