If your April kid is in a Big Kid bed

[raynes]

Do they sleep under the blankets?

So far Owen has only slept on top, but with the cooler weather it's definitely getting chillier in the house at night.

We could go for a sleep sack, but I feel like he'd resist that one pretty hard.

Any tips for getting them under the blankets?

What about getting footed Jammie's instead of a sleep sack?

Or they have the sleep sacks with the foot holes.

I keep an extra quilt at the foot of the bed and she will usually pull that over herself if she ends up making her way out of the comforter and sheet.

No. Hates blankets. What about fleece jammies? If it's really cold throw a onesie underneath?


Eta: I mean an undershirt. I forget our kids are too big for onesies... Lol

She sleeps under 3 baby blankets. "pink one, leopard one, special one". We have to say that when we cover her up. They need to be in that order or she freaks. She wakes up when she kicks them off.

He won't stay under a blanket even though he's really sensitive to cold. We have to use extra heating in his room.

Nope. He sleeps under a fleece Thomas the train throw blanket. He hates sheets and comforters.

I say fleece footies!!

A is a blanket and pillow fiend. She has a down comforter on her bed lol

I let Lincoln pick out a blanket, so he was really excited to sleep under it. Would that work with Owen?

Lincoln too! Haha his comforter is nicer than ours!

[carawestt]

And we don't even put flat sheets on his bed, just a fitted sheet and then the comforter.

Mel has 2 blankets. One she picked from Amma and Avi (the decorative one that is usually taken off when people sleep lol) and a "baby" sized comforter. She will only sleep under the decorative one, but usually kicks it off. She runs really hot at night so its NBD right now.

When we move I think I'll take her to pick one for herself. Thick blankets with duvet covers are big here. My ILs are actually confused by the comforters that you wash regularly idea. They air out their comforters when they can and just wash/switch the covers regularly.

Speak for yourself! My kid is totally still small enough for onesies. Ha.

Well I'm glad I'm not alone! We mostly have footie jammies, and all of the ones we have in the next size up so far are fleece, so I guess I'll have to see if he'll fit in those yet.

P won't sleep under a blanket now, but she did during the winter. At least she is okay with the fleece footie pjs again, because she was on a strike from those for awhile.

[mumegs]

She starts under a blanket but she moves around so much it always comes off at some point. Her room is really cold now too, she has been waking up and coming in our room and her hands and feet are freezing. I am afraid to use the space heater now that she can get up and walk around though. Need to get some more fleece footie pjs I guess.

I did this too and she refuses to sleep underneath it. "No!! I sleep on too of mermaid!!"
