my kids currently have on fleece pjs with Carter's fleece blanket sleepers over them. it's what we've always done and keeps them warm. they do have a blanket in bed with them, but they are just snuggling blankets. we started calling them that after running into the issue you are having! if they fussed about them, they lost them for the night- hence, no more stalling.

if you hold your fingers on both sides of the zipper as you unzip it, it is a little quieter.

last winter was the first year they were potty trained and having to wear sleepers. yes, it was a pain taking them potty during the night. but they also went potty a whole lot less on the nights they had the sleepers, than the nights they didn't, since they were warmer.
