Sort of a convoluted question, so please bear with me....
DS has climbed out of his crib twice during naps. He hasn't at night, but I suspect that's b/c he sleeps in sleep sacks, which frankly are kind of too short for him at this point. We have 3 one that the bottom zip out of, I was keeping it unzipped until he climbed out, one of the Halo ones with legs (haven't used that since he climbed out), and finally a regular one that we've been using but just seems like a bit of a straight jacket when I see him all twisted in it in the morning. They are the longest sleep sacks I've found, so I had been thinking it was time to transition to something else, and I'm thinking it might be good to transition before we do the toddler bed conversion so the bedding is familiar to me.
The other issue is that he is a super soaker. He's in a nighttime diaper 1 size up plus a cloth diaper and/or cover and he's still usually covered in pee in the morning. We're clearly doing something wrong, but I've tried all sorts of things to no avail. We've just sort of resigned ourselves to it at this point, but I'm wondering about the bedding...if I switch him out of sleep sacks I'm proabably looking at washing the bedding and blankets every day, ugh?
So my first question is - as I'm thinking about this, maybe getting a couple more of the footed halo sleep sacks is the way to go for a while. If you use these, how do you keep your kids feet warm? He always pulls his socks off..
My next question is I'd love recommendation on your favorite first toddler bedding - just a blanket? Blanket and comforter? Small pillow? Etc.
TIA!
