Is a 0.5tog sleeping bag and nappy a good option for sleeping in this weather? The bedroom is 27c and we’ve tried everything to cool it down but baby boy won’t sleep if his legs are out?! Toes are far too interesting! 🙃

I’m so paranoid about SIDS! Our room is 29c and I’ve just put my little one down in just a loose vest.

Yeah that’s fine! We do the exact same nappy & sleepbag no problem ☺️ I sometimes still have her in a short sleeved vest for when the temp dips in the night xx

thank you!! I was considering the vest too but was thinking of considering it if he wakes up! Bring on the cooler weather! 🤣

My girls is in a 0.5 together sleep and just nappy. Also have fan oscillating to try and move the air around the make it feel a bit cooler for her.

My room is 30! I’ve just put a vest but will remove to just nappy if need be. We have a fan circulating

My daughter won’t sleep without the sleep sack either so she’s in a 0.5tog and a nappy. It’s 27.4 in her room 😞

I'm worried now my baby is just in a nappy is she undressed?!

You can get 0.2tog as well which is basically like a sheet!

I live in the UK, so no AC and the best we have is a fan in our rooms, so the inside temp is usually only a few degrees lower than what’s outside, so it was 31c yesterday and our rooms vary from 30-26 during the day/night! Very tricky to choose the right things as the temps change throughout the night!😊

I think I’ve read somewhere that a baby will let you know if they’re cold but might not if they’re too hot! If I knew he’d sleep without a sleep sack I think I would, he just loves his feet! So I have to hide them!

that's true thank you! I'd rather need to add a layer! awww bless him! 😂

I have the same room temperature but I run a ceiling ventilator as well as an electric fan next to the crib. I only put a light sleep sack on my baby, no other layers (except of course a nappy) I use a Muslin cotton sleep sack from Amazon I think it’s 0.5 tog it’s super light weight

It depends on the room temperature I suppose! Our room was 25 degrees when we put our baby to sleep at 7pm last night. We left him in a nappy. I knew the temperature would probably drop to around 22 degrees in the night and then he would be too cold so I set an alarm for the middle of the night, checked how he felt (a little cold) then shut the windows.
I’m surprised at the amount of people who put their babies in vests when their rooms are closer to 30 degrees but then I suppose every baby is different? 🤷♀️

our sleep sack is the same, feels more breathable than a vest anyway! We had our fan running pretty much the whole day and I feel like It’s done nothing! Even opened the attic hatch to vent the air! Let’s hope we go down to a nicer warm temperature soon

i'm so glad it's not just me. I totally get every house is different and every room is going to be a different temperature but the way it feels in my bedroom and the way her chest feels there's no way I can justify putting a vest on her. I'd panic way too much. I'd rather her wake me up crying because she's cold and put another layer on her!

I was told to always go on the cooler side. They'll wake up if they're cold and it's not as dangerous.
Saying that we try every single option under the sun and every night even if it's the same temp as the night before she might prefer a completly different sleep option.
She won't sleep with the big fan on, so that's no help!
We've had, just a nappy, just PJ's (short sleeve and loose trousers), just a short sleeve, nappy and 0.5 tog. It's just a guess and see if that's the one option that works that night 🤣🤷🏼♀️

Everything is just scary no matter what you do. I couldn't even use a 0.5 tog sleeping bag as I felt like it was too big around her neck. She's quite a small baby and I was too scared of her suffocating herself, I panic about everything haha. She uses a cellular blanket which she seems to like but she kicks that off in the night so yeah🤷🏼♀️ I tried to use the love to dream swaddle but my god she hated it! massive waste of money that was, I have 3 haha

Id do nappy and light cellular blanket. X

My girl’s room is 27 degrees too and she’s only sleeping with a nappy on or spaghetti straps bodysuit at a push.

We are in the same situation. We have brought his cot mattress and a bed rail downstairs and we are sleeping in the living room. His bedroom is 29c

My little boy sleeps in his nappy only in this heat
