Hey everyone, I've been having a ton of anxiety about the temperature of the room when babys sleeping. My baby is 15 weeks old. I got a Gro Egg thinking knowing the exact temp will alleviate the stress, but if anything it's making it worse. I've been following the guidelines, but a few mornings now baby has woken up with cold hands. I dress her in a sleeveless vest, a babygro, and whichever sleepsack I pick but usually it's a 1.5 tog one.
The room temp stays consistently at 20 degrees c, give or take only a degree. I have three sleepsacks, a 1.5 tog sleeveless one, a 2.5 sleeveless one, and a 2.5 tog one with sleeves and legs. I've always remembered "A cold baby cries and a hot baby dies," so I haven't even tried putting her into the 2.5 with sleeves one as the room does be quite warm. But a few times my DD has had a blowout during the night when we're all sleeping, doesn't make a peep, and it isn't discovered until she wakes up properly in the morning, which makes me feel terrible. So I'm worried that she won't cry when she's too cold, and I'm just letting her be cold during the night. But then on the flip side I stress so much about her being too hot, as most parents I'm deathly afraid of SIDS, especially as she doesn't take a pacifier so I'm afraid of her risk being higher. She's EBF if that's any at all relevant.
Basically I'm just having a lot of anxiety, every night I stress about this. My DP is probably sick of listening to me, although he never shows it. How can I help her hands not be cold without overheating her? Her hands were always cold as a newborn but then stopped being so. Would she really cry when she's too cold? Should I be using the 2.5 tog instead? Am I thinking way too much into this and just stick to the guidelines? She doesn't really cry much at all, the only time she really cries is when she's overtired or gets a fright from one of us sneezing or coughing.
I'm so sorry for the long post, thank you for reading if you've got to this point.
