Swaddle! Swaddle made both my babies sleep so well. Just use a 0.5tog swaddle since it’ll be hot

Depending on how hot your room gets you probably won’t even use a sleep suit! In August I put my daughter in just a vest and a 0.2 tog love to dream swaddle and this worked wonders and she was 3 nearly 4 months old. You might find if your room is also too hot, sleeping in a different room will be better, I.e downstairs. We did this a few times. If you want to use a sleep sack you can use a vest and a 0.5 tog sleep sack or if really hot a nappy and sleep sack . Really tricky with newborns though as they can’t regulate their temperatures so easily get hot and cold! X

Buy a room thermometer, some summer nights get chilly so it’s best to know for sure. Lots of sagar sleep guides online to reference against temp
