Sheets and blankets or appropriate tog sleeping bags....I've used sleeping bags with all of mine and they've all slept through from a really early age and I definitely put it down to the fact that baby is snuggled up inside the sleeping bag, can't kick covers off and you can pick them up and feed them without taking covers off (if still feeding in the night). If arms seem chilly, a light cardigan over the pj's or sleepsuit will help

I just use a sleeping bag in the cot. Sam is always snuggly buggly warm, they are great. I haven´t got any cot bumpers on the cot either, as I read your not supposed to put them on til your LO is a year old - think its to do with SIDS.

no your supposed to take the bumpers off once they can sit up etc as they can strangle them after around 6 months

If you've got an appropriate tog sleeping bag for the room temp then baby should be fine. We have a selection of sizes and differnt tog bags. On a ridiculously cold night and if the bedroom is draughty then I may put one thin blanket over the top but babies are better cooler rather than warmer to be honest.
