Put on lots of layers, including socks and gloves if you have them. If your LO is too old to be at risk of SIDS, then put on hats too.

Hot drinks are good too. I'm assuming you have electricity so you can boil a kettle.

Then just bundle up in blankets and quilts.

You just have to get through the next couple of days, you'll be fine

Some food banks and similar organisations have machines to charge power keys and cards.

Can you tell us which county or town or area you're in?

Last resort, if the above help doesn't work out.

Go out. Don't sit huddled with no heat, go visit friends, neighbours, library, shopping centers.
All heated places you can go for little cost.

If you have a sick child sit in the GP/OOH and stay there (in the heat).

I would call your HV to see if they can refer you for some emergency support. I also agree with PP, go out to the library or somewhere in the morning.
