Slightly silly bedsharing question

opheliainwaders · December 2013

Hi ladies - So, DD is teething, and with that has decided that she will wake every 1.5-2 hours in her crib. When I take her into bed with me, she sleeps nice 4-hour chunks. SO! It looks like bedsharing is going to be a thing for us, at least for the next little while. But I have a silly question - what do you all wear to bed that you can still nurse in, but that keeps you warm enough? I don't want to pull blankets up near her, but while she's all nicely bundled in a sleepsack, I'm freezing (we live in a rather drafty old row house in NYC, and TBH, I prefer that the room stay cool at night). I'm thinking of cutting the zipper out of a hoodie, and sleeping in that, but am I missing any obvious pajama choices here?

I was always a fan of a stretchy tank with a cardigan.

i have always worn an oversized t-shirt and, in the winter, put an oversized long-sleeved shirt (like a thermal) over that, and just hiked it all up for nursing.

I cut a longsleeved tshirt down the middle. My arms are covered, yet she still has full access.

Nursing tank with the flaps open so my boobs are out...and a zip up sweater (with zipper half down).

I wear a tank with the shoulders down (like a tube top) and a fleece pj top that I got from old navy ages go, open.

I sleep shirtless, but I have thought about taking one of DH's undershirts and cutting it above my breasts, then sewing a hem. I've heard of other mothers doing this, keeping breasts free for baby but having their shoulders covered to keep them warm. I suppose you could cut a long slit in the shirt and hem the bottom and the top, if you wanted a torso portion too. I've just always found sleeping shirtless works best for me.

I usually sleep topless and wear pants and socks. On particularly cold nights I throw on a jersey fly-away sweater.

This. Except I just leave it unbuttoned about half way all the time. Very little thought required in the MOTN!
