With frost on the ground and winter months looming ahead, it's hard not to think about cold weather. We just bought a new house and unfortunatly it's heated by electricity. Last year we we're renting a house and we ended up paying a forturne to keep it heated to a temperature that would keep our new born warm, without blankets. This year we have no idea what to expect in heating bills (being it's electricity). I'm hoping to try and save some money and reducing our footprint by turning down the heat at night. However my dd gets cold fairly easily and i'm wondering when i can use a sheet and comforter with her to help her stay warm at night. I know before the summer hit (in the old house) she use to get really upset with a sheet on her because she would get all tangled up, after a few times in an hour i took the blanket off her bed and went back to heating the house. When is it safe to use a sheet and quilt, and how do you know when your toddler is ready for them??

It's not the end of the world if she can't have it yet, the benifit of heating with electric is we can trun the heat down in all the other parts of the house and still keep the bedroom warm. I'm just curious about it, as i love nothing more than a big fluffy comforter on a cold winter night. BTW her crib is attatched to our bed, does anyone have any idea when i can start using a sheet and comforter??
