Sleeping Bag? Other ideas

DS moves a heap in his sleep, with it getting colder i brought a sleeping bag for him, so that he could be a bit warmer in the night. I put him in it and he screamed his head off. He hated feeling so restricted. I have tried it numerous times but he just screams and it seems not worth it. Question is how am i going to keep him warm when it gets even colder? Is there anything i can get that wont restrict him so much that he can still move about freely but still be warm?? For PJ's he is in fleecy all in ones, with socks and a jumpsuit underneath....

Any ideas would be great thanks!

Oh really, well that is good to hear, maybe i just need a different one, the one i got seems quite thick, and quite stiff. (i got it of tm) and it valcros up by the shoulders which he also just pulls off... Did yours have legs of just a bit of room?

For sleep sacks the merino ones like Merino Kids are really good but probably far too expensive if you don't even know if he'll use it!

I also have a Grobag which sell pretty cheap on Trademe, and there are Snugtime ones which have long sleeves if the room is quite cold (ds gets very cold hands/arms at night so I have been using this lately). Snugtime also make very warm all-in-ones.

If the one you have is very stiff and with velcro then there are many other options which will be much more comfortable for him

I would also suggest you email the Sleep Store and ask them as they seem to be experts on that sort of thing!

DS didn't like his merino kids sleeping bag when we first tried it (6 - 7 mths). I think it restricted his rolling.
Now he's 9mth+ he's more mobile and doesn't seem to mind it so much.
We usually have him in a cotton-lined polar fleece all-in-one & a singlet. We've got a heater in his room too.
So far it's been enough, but in the back of my mind is that if it gets colder I'll put him in a cotton all-in-one under the polar fleece.

What do you dress babies in under the sleeping bags esp if no sleeves on it? Am making DS a sleeping bag coz he always kicks off the covers but we live in Queensland so at first at night time it is warm then cools down to maybe 16-20 degrees at 4-5 in the morning...so don't want to bundle him up in cardys and all that malarky.

Lily is in a thickish cotton sleep bag from Farmers iygwim, or a thinner one from Pumpkin Patch. She has a singlet, long sleeve body suit, long sleeve AIO, and her sleep bag. Then sheet, aircell blankie, quilt and another blanket. It gets to 14-18 degrees over night in there...

Manda - The Sleepstore have an outfit thats and sort of merino sleepsack, but with legs rather than a sleeping bag. I have a chat to them - they are very helpful

Maybe mine is naturally hot? She only wears a cotton AIO with a l/sleeve bodysuit and nothing else, or if shes having a 'kick blankets off' night, then her sleeping bag (sleeveless ones from pumpkin patch, has domes on the shoulders) with a l/sleeve bodsuit underneath... anything more and she gets really sweaty!

Callum's been in a sleeping bag since about 6mo and he can stand/climb in his too We had to switch to the ones which zip down as he could get out of the dome ones. He's in a 18-36m Grobag.

TaliP, I have Callum in cotton shortie PJs under his cotton sleeping bag. We don't get the cooler temps in the night though. When we go on holiday I usually put him in long sleeve PJs or add an extra cotton AIO underneath.
