Hi there


I have a 1 year old, and now the weather is getting warmer and he is fast growing out of his sleeping bag, I'm wondering how to best introduce the blanket?

My concern is that he will invariably kick off the blanket, and then he might get cold during the night...


What does everyone do? I realise my baby can't be in a sleeping bag forever...

Just use summer ones for when it is warmer and a cellular blanket or equivalent(that they will throw off but will be warm enough anyway) when it is boiling!

I stop the sleeping bags when getting ready to change to a bed. My general rule of thumb is when they figure out how to open the bag it is time to move to a duvet. This has been around 2 for both of my kids.

We had the same problem and now have found a compromise i.e. sheet sleeping bag, but don't zip it up at the bottom so that he can move around in the night and stand in his cot if he wants to (he is now 19 months and is quite big for his age)....it works for us so might be worth a try and it seems to stop him getting cold in the night...

I'm another big fan of the summer sleeping bags.


I believe growbag does two different weights for summer, 1 tog & 0.5 for those really hot nights. Alternatively you could try one of these http://www.merinokids.co.uk/shop/babysleepbags.html . We bought a summer weight one, which saw our oldest child (and now younger) through the past few years, so although it is more expensive than a growbag, it works out cheaper as you don't need the two different weights.

We've just got some cute Aden and Anais ones in stock - they're the lightest I have come across as are made out of a soft cotton muslin.

My daughter has been in sleeping bags since birth. We just moved her out of them a few nights ago. Its been fine, she's 2 years and 3 months. Last year she slept through summer in a 1 tog whilst naked. I never thought we'd get her out of the bag, she normally wakes when she knows she doesn't have it on but its been absolutely fine. No advice really.


Why not try very thin sleeping bag with no PJ's?

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
