Ward temperature

[unknownscot]

The ward I'm in post natal is 28 degrees. Surely the nhs has to address this when it's stated on their own website that this is not safe for newborns!

I was in for a week at the end of November. Had to go to another building via outside for a procedure during my postnatal stay and it was so hot in there I'd genuinely forgotten it was winter

Does being so hot breed more germs?

I remember this too and the hat business really confused me. They wrapped Ds up so many layers, vest, long sleeve sleep suit, hat in July. I was sweaty and he was too. Plus I thought skin to skin was the idea. I then had him in just a nappy feeding, then I laid him down in the cot after hours of trying, just to go for a wee and they said he'll freeze and started layering him up in blankets and he woke up again. Honestly, if they need to be hotter than the sun for 24 hours then explain this, but I don't and didn't understand it one bit.
