I have a 4 week old DS and this weather is really making me worry about keeping him cool at night. The recommended sleeping temp is 20-22 degrees but it’s currently 30 degrees in every room in our house. He sleeps in a crib next to my bed but I have to keep the bedroom door shut to keep the dogs out (our house is open plan and the only way to keep them away from DS while he’s sleeping is to shut the bedroom door). Not usually a problem but the last few days have been so hot and muggy that the bedroom feels like a sauna. I’ve opened windows but we live on a busy main road so the traffic noise is constantly waking him. I’m so worried about him overheating but DP says he’ll be fine. AIBU to worry so much? What do others do during the hot summer months to avoid babies overheating? I’ve got a fan on (but not pointing at DS) and I’ve tried hanging up a wet towel but that just made the air feel damp.
