LO gets super hot cosleeping

Our current arrangement is that he sleeps in his bassinet from 9 to 5.  After the 5 am feeding, I bring him to bed with me and we cosleep until he wakes up, which varies widely.  I'm working on deswaddling him, so he is swaddled usually when I bring him to bed.  It's an Aden & Anais swaddle, with a onsie under.  I do not put covers on either of us.  As much as I try, LO wants to be thisclose to me.  We are roasting to death in the morning.  We are both sweaty, even the sheets under him yesterday.  It's not real hot here in Washington (like 70 during the day).  I'm worried about LO overheating.  Will someone clue me in please? TIA

  • Do you keep him swaddled when you bring him to bed? When we used to swaddle DS, I unwrapped him as soon as he came into bed with me.

  • Either way this happens.  Problem is that if I unswaddle him, the half of him not touching me gets cold, and the half touching me is sweaty.

  • DD is the same way. She is always really sweaty when she is sleeping of in her car seat.
