a CD w/ a wool wrap and a onesie or tshirt...i have a blanket around him that gets tighter or looser as the night progresses...i try to keep the comforter off of myself so i can monitor how hot/cold he may be.
i tried the sleepers but i feel that he gets too hot w/ them, kwim?
interested in what others say though.

We put ds (8 mos.) in a short or 3/4 sleeve onesie that is one size large for him -- so it's not floppy, but not as snug as the ones he wears during the day. He tends to run hot at night -- sweaty head, etc. -- so we've found that putting anything more on him just results in his getting squirmy because he's overheated.

We sleep with the window open for fresh air, and have both a sheet and a velvet quilt on the bed (not a comforter, but it's pretty weighty). I would guess the room is about 65 at night. And although I put a receiving blanket down under my chest area (to catch the milky drips), we don't put any kind of quilted pad under the babe at night. It was just too hot and uncomfortable, and since he's never had an accident or leaked (I do change his diaper around midnight-one a.m. when I come to bed), we figured it wasn't necessary.

He routinely kicks off all covers, so if we're going out for the evening and leaving him with a sitter, we will put him in footie pj's to keep him warm. (Then when we come to bed we just make sure he stays out of the covers -- basically, he'll be on my side of the bed on the outside instead of between us.)

HTH!

DD wears sleepers or long-sleeved onesie with no pants. She tends to get overheated too. If she has on a sleeper, we just use a sheet...no comforter.

In the summer, just a dipe or lightweight t-shirt. We don't use AC, so it can get roasty.

My dd has her daddy's thermostat- she's always HOT. When it's cold I've always had her sleep in just a long-sleeve shirt. Warm- short sleeve shirt. I tried sleepers and sleep sacks and she was sweaty and miserable.

We are currently living in my parents old drafty house and it gets pretty darn cold at night. I have a space heater with a temp gauge I use to keep it from getting too cold, but I splurged and got him a Grembo, so he wears a long sleeved onsie and the Grembo - which is a big blanket sleeper (like a HALO sleep sack) but its thicker, made from quilted blanket material with fleece inside, so its more like he's got a heavy comforter on him. I however don't sleep with my babies physically right up against me, he sleeps on a contoured changing pad in the middle of the bed, next to me, but not *right* next to me, so my body heat doesn't really help him much. I have found that I really need my space and the ability to clutch a pillow or blanket in front of me to be able to sleep well enough - with DD I tried to do without and ended up with backaches. The pad lets me have him right there, nurse him easily but still have that space and safety.

My room gets pretty warm, and with DS cuddled up right next to me he can get pretty warm at night, but then his arms get cold without a shirt, so I usually put him in a shortsleeve shirt and diaper :) No socks or pants.
