Grobag try 2

[alexist]

I decided to have another go at putting Aliza in a grobag (baby sleeping bag) tonight. This time I left her in her sleepsuit, rather rthan the recommendation of just a long-sleeved bodysuit (onesie). It's only a 1.0 tog, and she normally has a doubled over sheet and then a blanket anyway.

This time she went right to sleep. :) yay! this is great since she kicks her covers off now.

Only annoying thing (small) is that of course I only bought 1 0-6 month one, and I don't really want to spend £24.50 on a 2nd that she'll grow out of quite quickly. So either she better not spit up at night, or she'll be back on the sheet and blanket ;-) She's moving to her full size cot next week (we've been using the carrycot from her pram temporarily--long story involving furniture moving! Good thing you can use the carrycot as a travel cot. See, the Bugaboo came in useful ;) ) so this will affect the amount of bedding we buy, too. She won't need as many top sheets/blankets if she's using grobags. (You still need a couple just in case, but you don't need so many.)

Now, if I could just fall asleep... :(

Oh, and I'll need to get a new icon shot of Her Maj tomorrow :)

who needs a sleeping bag in the spring???

It's not a heavy one like you're probably thinking, it's the same weight as a sheet and light blanket--they make 3 weights. They're really popular here.

It's not really any warmer in our apt than it was in the winter either.

I've bought a bag from here - http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZkomfikidz

They are great! I got Millie a 6-12 months one and it's fine for her now and should do her through the summer.

Actually that's a point - need to get her another 1 tog one!
