Sleep sacks! A bit heavier than a jersey jammie, but made more like a long sewn bottom gown.
Ditto. We used sleep sacks that were made of fleece and they were plenty warm. The argument that "people did it back then and survived" doesn't fly. Lots of them didn't survive but no one is speaking for them. Only for the ones that did.
