Temperature of babies room???
in Baby
I see that the correct temp should be 16 to 20 degrees but it seems so chilly!!! Do you have yours on higher and less blankets or cooler and more? I was at a friends house last night and she couldn't get the room above 17 degrees and Sophias body temp has been low (she is poorly too) as a result I'm sure!!!
What temp do you have the room? xx

I think so long as your little one does not get too hot, do whatever you feel is right.
It is easier to add layers to baby in a cooler room than to cool them down in a too-warm room. If you're worried she's cold maybe a fleecy sleepsuit or a long sleeved vest under her sleepsuit?
Baby hands and feet often feel cold even when their core temp is fine. Feel their tummy or back to get a true sense of how warm they are. It's just that they can't regulate the temp of their extremities when they're weeny.
He likes to be warm so any less he would just be unsettled.
On very cold nights ive put a cardi on him if its been 16 degrees not rec but hes been fine and my mum did it with us.
I feel mean with pjs on electric blanket and a thick duvet whilst my lo has to measly blankets lol!!

At the moment it's around 19-20 degrees and she has a short sleeved vest, pyjamas, sheet and blanket on - and if it drops below 19 I put a light blanket on top of these as she seems to like being warmer.
I did try sleeping bags but she was forever slamming her legs down and getting frustrated (as do adults in sleeping bags lol) and she seems to be sleeping better (famous last words lol)
