Using hats for bed time/cold nights?
in Baby
Hiya,
I was just wondering if anyone has used or is going to use a hat on their los during the winter nights? I was always told not to, but why do they make sleepsuit and hat sets? I was told to use one when dd2 was jaundice, which was fine.
My reason for asking is that dd2 is a huge fidget and will never stay under a blanket, and she isn't keen on grobags. So I'm thinking a lot of layers and maybe a hat?
Also, do you or will you have the heating on over night?
Thanks for your time x

I wouldn't worry about her head getting cold as I find that my lo's is always warm. They shouldn't wear a hat at night as the head is where they lose the heat if they're too hot. x
If she doesn't like grobags there are some lovely fleecy babygros you can get (??4. in Primark), you could always put one of those over a normal babygro or vest when it gets really cold. Laying them on a fleecy blanket helps them stay cosy too.
I don't keep my heating on overnight, but I know some mums who do.
Kel-we were the same in hospital with both mine, hats etc, and I'd be sitting in a vest and shorts.
Thanks mims, that's a lovely idea for a blanket and baby grows, i've been looking for thicker sleepwear, I've even asked my mum to get her knitting needles out, bcos I've struggled to find anything. So I'll have a look.
Does seem silly that cum with sleepsuits tho but I guess unless uve had children urself they seem a cute present to give people for newborns! Darn shops cashing in!
Just out of interest I wondered if ud tried a jersey grobag?
My LO hates cotton 1's yet loves her M&P's zeddy n parsnip jersey 1. Just a thought Hun hth
