Baby sleep room temp

[newmumtobe1998]

So we live in a flat and for us to reach the recommended temp for the room while baby is sleeping we have to turn heating off and potentially open windows. However, it’s been between 18 and 19 degrees the past few nights and it has felt freezing. Baby has woken up lots too which makes me think they’re cold as they’re not used to it as before the room would be about 20-22 degrees but I’ve obviously been trying to get it down enough.

Anyone else experience this?

Some kids run warm and some run cold. DS was definitely on the run cold side as he wouldn’t sleep unless room was 21 degrees until he was about 20 months old.

What sleepwear are they wearing? My house would be 21 when we go to bed but at the moment it is dropping to 17-19 degrees overnight. At 17 degrees mine are waking up. I've figured out that happens around 4am and have timed heat to come on around 3.30am in anticipation. The weather is still a bit unpredictable at the moment but you might start recognising when the temp drops and boosting the heat slightly to keep it at 20 degrees. 16-20 is the recommended range so if they're used to 20-22 then you might get away with a steady 20. In terms of sleepwear, I've always done short sleeve vest, long sleepsuit and 2.5 sleep bag for the 16-20 degree range.

My DC2 just wouldn’t sleep if she was too cool.
