She was always in some sort of swaddle/sleeping bag device so we never put more than a onesie+sleeper, both cotton. She runs pretty hot when asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604500 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 08:14:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 2604500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>October baby, she wore a fleece sleeper with a fleece sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604431 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 23:09:42 +0000 Iced Tea 2604431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept a warmer temp in the house and dressed her in a long sleeve cotton top (the side snap ones), socks, and a swaddle or sleep sack. I'm not a fan of fleece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604422 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 22:24:59 +0000 gingerbebe 2604422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did cotton zipper footie sleeper and cotton SwaddleMe or cotton Halo Sleepsacks but DS ran super hot and sweaty and would scream bloody murder if we put him in fleece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604393 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 20:34:01 +0000 SweetCaroline 2604393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did what you suggested....short sleeve cotton onesie, footed sleeper and halo sleep sack. Generally the sleep sack was fleece and our house was pretty chilly, otherwise I would not have put the onesie on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604365 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 19:33:00 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2604365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO slept in a short sleeve onesie and a fleece swaddle sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604344 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:54:44 +0000 MrsSRS 2604344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tbh, when mine were still immobile, and sleeping in my room, if they seemed chilly in a onesie and jammies and swaddle with socks, I'd drape a blanket over them from the chest down. And if you want a heavier cotton sleepsack instead of a swaddle, I like one we have from IKEA. It's like a duvet.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604336 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:44:59 +0000 GreenThumb 2604336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is really helpful everyone! We tend not to do fleece either @oliviaoblivia:, so maybe I should look into getting a heavier cotton sleep sack.</p> <p>@MrsSRS: Keeping socks in mind is a great idea - thanks!</p> <p>@ShootingStar: Thank you! This link is definitely helpful!!</p> <p>@catlady: @sapphire: I agree that overheating definitely isn't good either!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: I know we kept it a little warmer for DD1's first winter and she was already 6 months at that point, so I'll have to consider that this winter again.</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Summer sleepwear is definitely tough, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604322 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:07:11 +0000 catlady 2604322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a onesie underneath a fleece swaddle sleep sack. Once we took her out of the swaddle, we switched to a long sleeve onesie. She always seemed to get too hot if she had PJs with legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604320 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:03:22 +0000 BSB 2604320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Great link.

We put him in a short sleeve onesie, fleece sleeper and swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604296 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 17:00:47 +0000 MrsB2012 2604296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did a fleece sleeper and a aden and anasis swaddled blanket </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604290 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:46:49 +0000 BSB 2604290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a fleece sleepsack during the winter and put it on top of their PJs. DH is always hot so we set our thermostat to 68. I think our baby monitor would show their room staying in the 70 degrees range. </p> <p>I'm having more issues regulating their room in the summer because it's been hot and we don't have AC. It's always warmer when they go to bed but I know it gets cool in the morning and don't want them freezing.</p> <p>Anyway, I think cotton sleepsacks could work if you don't want to get fleece ones.</p> <p>ETA: Oh, a fleece sleeper in a cotton sleep sack could work, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604282 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:42:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2604282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a cotton sleeper and an A&amp;A cozy sleep sack or 2.5Tog GroBag.<br /> I don't like fleece on little babies. Mine always got kind of swampy when I'd put them in fleece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604281 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:42:10 +0000 sapphire 2604281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used fleece PJs and a Velcro Swaddle. I don't think I would put a onesie on too- might overheat which is more dangerous than being cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604280 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:41:03 +0000 MrsSRS 2604280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did cotton short sleeve onesie, thick cotton or fleece jammies, and a swaddle or sleepsack. If baby was cold we added socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604278 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:40:30 +0000 erinbaderin 2604278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son wore a fleece sleeper and a fleece swaddle sack, and we left the heat at the daytime temperature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-winter-newborns-wear-to-bed#post-2604277 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:36:44 +0000 GreenThumb 2604277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time around we had a June baby and I'm pretty sure we did just a short sleeve onesie or a light cotton sleeper and muslin swaddle during the newborn months. But this time DD2 is due in December. What do you dress a winter baby in for bed? We have two of those newborn cotton Halo sleep sacks that contain the arms that we never used last time. Would layering a onesie, cotton sleeper, and sleep sack be warm enough? We generally keep the house cool at night. </p>
