What to put baby to sleep in??

My first born was born in Feb so easily slept with a vest, sleepsuit and a swaddle. However it's -3 now and I feel that won't be enough for a newborn, I can't afford to keep the heating on all night so that isn't an option.

Ideas of what’s going on with my 6 month old

My 6 month old has been awake since 1.30am this is the third night in a row she’s done this. Her sleep has generally been awful for months but the last few nights have been a whole other level!
