[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT disobey her orders.  Think of something else that could help--strip him down to a onsie underneath the sleep sack, ask her to buy another fan for the room and place a big bowl of ice in front of it (so it's blowing cool air towards him).  Buy or make a sleep sack out of lighter material.  If this is a problem, address it and present a solution.  "Larlo is waking up sweaty and asking for water .  I am worried about dehydration.  I know you want him to sleep in a sleep sack, so can we try X, Y or Z to help keep him at a more moderate temperature?"

My guess is that she wants him in a sleep sack so that he won't climb out of the crib, or because it is part of his sleep association.[/b]  Whatever the reason, work WITH her instead of digging in and starting a power struggle.[/quote]

Thank you for bringing up those two points.
For the life of me, I couldn't understand the point of having him in the sleep sack, but your reasoning does make sense since at his age, he is nearing that age of almost (!) being tall enough to climb out of the crib as well as the sleep association logic.

Sorry for the double post.  I'm glad I could help with perspective-taking.[/quote]
