Sleep sac or what did you do?

thanks we do have a wall mounted heater in his room, so I'll just find some warm baby grows and we will be sorted.

Ditto Rm

I used the sleep sac for the first winter when he was a a few months old but after that I found the best was to use a panel heater which I left on 24/7. They don't make the rooom very warm and you don't really want the room to be too hot anyway, but it took the chill off.

I then kept him in babygrows for as long as I could and put a long sleeved vest underneath.

I found that that would keep him warm enough. It is ct though and I know the temps don't drop as low as they do in JHB.

Sleep sacs are fairly freely available, I know Babysense sells one and you can get them at Woolies.

For me the "secret to sanity" was one of those wall heaters in baby's room.

I dressed baby in a vest and babygrower and placed in cot with a blanket, and then if baby kicks of blanket, it was fine as the room was not hot, it was just comfortable.

I also had the sleep sacs, but I found - for me - they were great for newborns, but once baby got past 3 months I preferred not to use them. I also did not find them as user friendly as they could be.

i.e. baby falls asleep in your arms while feeding and is not in sleep sac, and you want to put baby down in cot, but now to try to get baby into sleep sac will disturb baby.

Wall mounted heaters definitely the winner - we also ran a thread like this last year with the same question, and the heater came up as the choice favourite then.

Maybe this year someone has another idea .....

Winter is here (almost) and my 9month old wriggles all over his cot at night therefore his blanket seldom stays on him. What did you ladies do in the winter? dress them warm enough so they dont need blankets OR someone told me about a sleep sac thingy, where do I buy one?
