Awens a funny little monkeychops. She HATES being cold with a passion just gets REALLY mad. Ive got her dressed today in a long sleeved vest, socks, leg warmers, trousers and a long sleeved top just to keep her toasty enough and even then she gets cold hands.

During the day she will only nap in her chair in the morning if she gets her duvet on her and tucked round the sides of her body and under her chin ontherwise she screams with tiredness til she is cosied and when she goes in her cot she goes with a sleeping bag but likes a minimum of a sheet/mussie on top and now its cold i use a blanket and when I check on her shes pulled it up over head head and is snuggled into it like a Mummy. if she gets slightly cold she wakes up and screams.

Shes just woken up from her nap and is in no mood to get out her chair yet shes just tucked up in her blanket chatting to her bunny

Any other duvet monsters out there or is mine just odd?

Amelia sleeps with a sleeping bag and a cot duvet thingy. She will not sleep with out it at all. She likes too have it up around her chin and holds on to it with her hands. It took us a long time to work out thats how she liked to sleep. COuld have saved us alot of sleepless nights lol

Actually thinking about maybe thats why she refuses to nap in the day

Give it a try Kayleigh. Awen goes in her bouncy chair in the morning and cot in the afternoon and ive got a cot duvet downstairs i tuck round her body and right under her and right round her chin and head, leaving one arm out to hold her rabbit and she goes off in minutes cocooned like a little worm. We worked it out when I put my hoody on her one day and she fell asleep immediately. She still likes to sleep under my hoodies to this day its like some kind of drug i think so i always have one nearby when we are out at my parents etc, lucky i wear mens hoodies really.

IN the afternoon she does not have her sleep bag but still has thick blankets on her. God knows what im gonna do in the summer. Im still waiting for the social services call about the fact i put blankets on my babies head to make her sleep. Awen also has to have a toy for each hand, usually a bunny and a spotty dog so we have two of each. Not that shes fussy or owt...

Im going to try it this afternoon, I cant believe it hasnt occured to me before lol

Amelia has to have her Ellie at all times. its a little pink blanket with an elephant head on it. My sister bought it for her the day after she was born and shes never been without it. Shes got exactly the same but with a bear on it and the little bugger knows the difference. I havent been able to find another one so we are uber careful with it. x

Ive seen those Ill keep a eye out for you

Izzy is the opposite! She goes to bed most night lately with just a vest, if its cold she has a PJ top too...but refuses any kind of pants or trousers!
So when I go up to bed I go to tuck her in and she is there with the duvet pushed to her belly, arms spread out and I think brrrrr and tuck BOTH duvets over her! And tuck them under her chin!
In the afternoon though even when its not very warm she gets a sweaty head if I put both covers (only 4.5 tog each) over her...even though thats the same as my duvet (9 tog) and I never sweat in my bed!
This morning I dressed in in a normal vest, long sleeve top, tights and a jumper dress, then a furry gillet on top...and her hands were still a bit cold, so how the hell she keeps warm at night I have no idea!

Nope Caelyns like that, shes currently in a vest and LS tshirt with 1 sock on and thats about it, shes removed all her other clothes and is refusing to accept its cold or put them back on and at night she wears jammies but wont keep a duvet on. Neils like h though, doesnt feel cold whereas Im a fellow blanket monster

Yeh I'm a blanket monster...Dan can be sat in same room as me...I'm there in a jumper and wrapped in a blanket and still not very warm..he is in a Tshirt!

elijah would spend his entire life naked, i physically have to pin him down to get clothes on him which is getting rather tiring first thing in the morning!!! same with nappies, coats, hats, gloves....anything generally hypothermia-preventing!

during the day benji likes to strip his clothes off...usually starting with his pants...not helped by the fact he has a tiny waist but is incredibly long!!
but during the night, he likes to be in vest, pjs sleepbag and thick duvet!!!
when he was lil baba i used to have to have atleast 3/4 sheet blankies, as i think he liked to feel secure

Jamie's like Elijah and Benji and would rather be naked the whole time. I have noticed at night though that he seems to sleep better now we've given him a duvet. He seems to like being hot and sweaty to sleep and does wake up crying if his crawled up the cot and not pulled it with him. I don't know if its the weight rather than anything else though. I'm generally too hot but even in the summer have to have the duvet wrapped round me to sleep

I wish noah would keep his blankets on him, the last week i have got him out of his cot freezing. But i do snuggling up ans wrap him to much typical mommy lol

XcHAR

Aw lots of blanket monsters

How did Amelia do?

She managed 20 mins which is a whole 20 mins longer than usual lol x

So trying it again?

Hmm, Milo is a blanket monster during the day - not that he naps, but when he gets a bit tired he'll curl up on the sofa and has to have the blanket tucked in all around him and up to his nose - problem is he wriggles so much bits keep poking out, so he tries to fix the blanket which means more body parts poking out.. etc etc until he's bored of that and starts rampaging again!

Then at night he usually manages to fling his duvet across the room and sleep half on half off the bed

Noah will happily sleep in any position, with any covers or none, as long as he's vaguely horizontal he's a happy bunny
