Baby Outerwear - and Sleeping Outside
Hi Helen

Our four months old son has until now been sleeping outside in the pram wearing a snowsuit. As weather became warmer, I unzipped the suit in order for him not to become too warm.

Since it is now summer with temperatures up to 20C I have to come up with another solution. If I try to settle him with a blanket or an eiderdown only, he is not able to settle and fall asleep, as he moves arms and legs. I have also tried to settle him in a bunting bag with the result that he sleeps for only 45 minutes instead of the usual 3 hours. For the past week he has only been able to sleep 3-4 hours in the daytime and approx. 10 hours at night.

Can you recommend a settling routine for us?

Best regards
Christina
