Im in a dellema(sp)
DS isnt a very good sleeper and wakes twice a night and also only naps for 30 mins.
Anyway. MIL has been looking after him this week and has said that he sleeps for 1 1/2 hrs each nap time and if my mum has him overnight he sleeps right through.
I have found out the reason for this is that they are probably putting too many blankets on him. IE during the day time naps shes been putting a light quilt on( i know really bad) and during night a sleeping bag covered with 2 sheets. The room temp is a resonable 18-21c
I only put him in a sleeping bag or for naps just a light sheet and blanket over him(ie I follow the guidelines for sids/room temp etc)
So am I being too careful and possibly not keeping him warm enough or am I doing ok and if he sleeps better warmer should I add more blankets even though its not recommended.
I guess what im trying to say is do I keep him warm just so he sleeps longer and risk putting him at risk and the fact that he wakes up so frequently proves hes too cold with me or should I continue to follow the guidelines even if he does wake often.
