Toddler bedding

[seamonster]

What are you using now? When do you plan to introduce a blanket and pillow if you haven't already?

[seamonster]

We're still using sleep sacks and probably will until DS outgrows the largest size. They're just so convenient with him moving all over his crib as he sleeps. I don't know when we'll introduce a pillow since he seems happy without one.

DS still sleeps in footed PJs cause they're too darn cute, and I can't get over bare feet at night, though he naps with bare feet so... I'm a crazy person. Especially since all our hand me downs are two piece PJs so I've been buying footie pjs.

He has a Muslin blanket that's big enough to use as a blanket but he just cuddles it like a lovie. No idea when I'll introduce an actual blanket or a pillow.

DD sleeps in footie pajamas and has a fleece blanket in her crib that she mostly just cuddles. She doesn't have a pillow yet. I think DS was around two when we gave him a toddler pillow, but I don't completely remember.

Do you sleep with socks on?

Footie pjs only. No plans for a blanket she would just get tangled up and cuddle with it lol

We are all hot sleepers over here so the idea of footie pj's or socks is giving me the sweats. The girls wear light pjs, have light blankets and ceiling fans on always. Yes, even on winter nights in Chicago.

seamonster there is a good thread about this a bit down for reference. About what's in the crib. Can't remember the title.

ETA: the title is "QOTD - Cribs"

Do you sleep with socks on?

In the winter, yes. But even in the summer I have a sheet, blanket, and bedspread. Possibly because I don't wear anything else to bed, though.

They drive me crazy so I ask I definitely sleep best under the weight of a blanket though even though I wear clothes (dude there could be a fire)

I couldn't stand sleeping in socks until I got pregnant. And then at some point taking them off at the end of the day was just too much, and then I guess I ended up liking them.

I do put on pants when I get up to go to nurse G in the MOTN. But then I take them off again. DNW to sleep in clothing.

DD sleeps in footy pjs or the one piece footless zipped ones, depending on what's clean and what the temp/level of humidity is. Freaking love those one piece zipped pjs - they are the cutest. And she sleeps in a sleep sack - usually the light cotton ones. She's all about the pillows, and sleeps on the floor surrounded by them. Whatever makes her happy I guess.

{Horrible story/possible trigger alert:}Somewhat related, but have yall seen the story about the toddler who died recently due to a faulty thermostat? The thermostat said it was 72 degrees upstairs, but the heater didn't turn off like it was supposed to...it was actually 100 degrees. Her dad went to get her in the morning and found her lifeless. Cause of death was hyperthermia. We all sleep on the 2nd story of our house, so we'd know if it got too hot, but talk about terrifying. Makes me want to dress her in nothing.

I'm such a doofus that I participated in that thread and still made this one. I'm chalking it up to being tired from a kid who still doesn't STTN.

[dreemkin]

agm04 that's so sad! Something else to worry about =(

[agm04]

dreemkin I know...so awful.

[kaydee0402]

agm04, so sad! We also sleep on the second story, and I need to be cold in order to sleep, so I would KNOW if the thermostat was that high. But still, that's just terrible.

DS gets his little dumbo pillow and loosley knitted blanket to sleep with. The blanket doesn't provide much in the way or warmth since there are huge holes in it, but it is a comfort thing. DS is a tummy sleeper which makes me nervous, but he won't sleep without a pillow (I blame co-sleeping for that one).
