We're using one for Tom and it's brilliant.  Well he thinks so.

He used to kick the covers off so that's why he ended up in one.

Mum bought it for Max when he was little from Asdas.  Think it was about £12. 

Does anyone else use one for lo - if so, what do you think?

Ed uses a lightweight (0.5 tog) grobag - see my pics.

I've only been using it this week and it seems to make a difference, he doesnt wake up with cold legs anymore!

Exactly.

We also have a long sleeved lightweight one from the Boots sale.  But it was too small too soon for my fast growing lad!

Glad you like them too.

I have to say Cerys is currently using a 1.5 tog one and it's the best thing I have brought for her. 

I brought it after waking up in the middle of the night when she was still very little and in her moses basket and she had moved down so her legs were in the air, her bottom was touching the bottom of the moses basket and her head was under the blanket.  So it stopped that from happening again as well as stopped her kicking any blankets off.

I have just got the one from Tesco for £10 (next size up from the one Cerys is currently in).  It says inside that it is no more than 3 tog.  I am thinking about getting a lighter one as well for the milder nights as our house is quite warm.

I should have shares in Grobag!!!! Although I did get all but the 1st one on Ebay...

Mu sis used them for her 3 and raved about them but you didn't used to be able to get newborn ones. When we bought Ella home, the 1st nite she woke every 15 mins cos she'd kicked her covers off (it was an omen for the future!!!) So I sent my ma shopping and she's used a grobag since she was 6 days old!!!

I've got a 0.5 tog and a 1 tog for her currently, then 2 x 1 tog and 2 x 2.5 tog in the next size 6-18 months. I reckon the 1 tog is the most versatile cos you can add clothing underneath. Ella tends to be sicky overnight, hense I've got 2 of each in the next size.

The 6-18 month ones are pretty big! My youngest nephew is 20 months, and he's still in his 6-18 month, with room to spare!!

They're a bit more pricey than store own brands, but all mine have come from ebay, new and in packet - the cheapest being £8 delivered, and most expensive £15 delivered!! Woohoo!!
