Cold weather brings... blankets & NWing? What do you use??

[MaggieJenn]

It has started to get cold at night here and my son's p.j.s are no longer enough.  We have since discovered that he despises blankets.  If he wakes just a little and senses a blanket, he freaks out and completely wakes up.  We used to use "sleep sacks" before summer, but now that he can stand and move around, it doesn't seem age appropriate. 

Do any of you have an issue or suggestion that can help out?

Thank you!!

Yep, DD is almost 3 and she still wears a sleep sack. She's on the skinny side but really tall so we recently had her sleep sacks lengthened. She walks around in them fine too  .  Another possibility is dressing him in a footed fleece "blanket" sleeper. They make them at least up to size 5T I think.

Yes would also say go with the sleeping bag. Or how about a duvet? Or does he not like anything at all over him?
Another thing I do when it's really cold is put a fleece blanket on the matress under the sheet, also helps to keep them warm.

We layer in footy jammies until age 2 or when ever you are advised to use blankets/feel comfortable with the idea.  Still layer due to restless sleepers.

DS used to hate blankets too so last winter we'd dress him in a onesie, thermal long underwear, socks, and a blanket sleeper on top    Seemed like a lot of layers but without blankets, it worked.  DS kept taking the sleep sack type things off.

Thank you so much to each of you that responded!  I appreciate your ideas and tips and most definitely intend to put them to use.
