This may sound like a really silly question to ask especially because i have a older kid too but what do you sleep your baby in during summer??
Xavier was a newborn in summer when he was a baby and he was just in a singlet suit because he was such a hot baby and he slept in bed with me. When he got older he would strip himself at night and just sleep in a nappy. Im trying to buy Alianas clothes for summer now but i have no idea what to get her for bedtime. She will be 6 months at Christmas time when it starts getting really warm. Would a cotton footed all in one be too hot? or do you just use singlet suits? We live at the top of the south island and it gets pretty hot in the evenings. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  tickers" /></a>

Amy was a month or so older than Aliana at the same time of year and we are in Wellington. I had her in short PJs (cute shorts and t-shirt set) on hot nights and long sleeve cotton on cooler nights. She was also using a cotton sleeping bag by then too.
During the day for sleeps I would usually strip her to a t-shirt or vest or just a nappy if very hot and then into her sleeping bag. Footed PJs may be too hot. Roll on summer  -------------

Gremlins were 3-4 mths over summer and slept in short sleeved singlet suits with a muslin wrap. The following summer they were 14 or so months and wore short sleeved singlet suits with a summer weight sleep sack. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Either - you'll figure which is best for her on whatever night. My girls get excema (especially as babies) when they are overdressed so that's particularly helpful for me  But I would do a mix of each of those things you mentioned depending on how warm the night was.------------- |
