Sleep sac or what did you do?

I am using the babysense summer one and want to get a winter one but they are sooo expensive...

Does the moomoo one have the holes for the car seat? See in the morning we take little one to MIL and i don't want to have to take the blanket off first so the car seat hole is brilliant!

Luckily she doesn't mind being put in it when asleep, usually she gets drowsy while breastfeeding then i put her down on top of the sleepy sac in her crib and put her arms in the sleeves then zip it up... by this time she is fast asleep

Kaye, address for moo moo is: www.moomookids.co.za

Juanita, I also bought a baby grow at Woolies, they where R39, not bad at all. They are made out of toweling stuff and I'll put a short sleeve baby grow underneath.

B is now 20 months or something and I still used a sleep sac last winter - too lazy now to do the math and we have a panel heater but she always slept better when in the sleep sac and she could still get up and 'walk around' her cot with it on if she had to (which she had to do every morning because who wants to lay down when you have the ability to stand...)

But yes, for us, loved it, used it every night. After bath she gets her PJ's on and her sleep sack then has her night bottle while wearing it and if she wakes up in the night we picked her up while she was still wearing it only took it off when it was get up and out of bed time.

marijke, how did you get B to use the sleep sac when she was walking already? I only got to use ours 1 winter before Reece turned a year becasue the next winter he was walking and kept falling all over the place when standing up.

they are great though, we had the sleepsense one and i used that in conjunction with a panel heater to get the edge off the room and it worked very well.

I think if i had to put my 15month old in a sleeping sac again, all hell would break loose in our house!

Luckily when we did her room we put in under floor heating which regulates the temperature.

But i will still be dressing her in a long baby grow. Bought some from woolies as the sizes goes right up to 18-24 months, and they were only R30 each!!!!!

Finn also kicks blankets off at night and I'm sure he's waking up because he's cold. I had a small sleeping bag from woolies last winter but now need a bigger one for him.

What's the address for Moo moo? Would love to have a look at their sleep sacs as the baby sense one is so expensive.

Pep stores are selling these. They look quite cosy.

Vix (Baby bear creations) also makes these.

My lg is a real rough sleeper - she tosses and turns and kicks herself open all the time (not leaving me with much sleep!) However I just know that she won't sleep peacefully in a sleepingbag (kind of limits her movement), so my solution would be the panel heater and some nice warm fleecy babygrows.

Had a look on the Moo Moo site and they have lovely fleecy "Kiddigrows" (for toddlers). And they are not too expensive, so I think I will be ordering 2 or 3 for the winter.
