It’s 17 degrees outside and according to the baby monitor it’s 26 degrees in my bedroom, it feels a little warm but not over powering but I only sleep in underwear 😂 baby (7 month old) got a sleepsuit on and a 1 tog sleeping bag, he feels okay(not to warm) and the fan is blowing in the room, should I take a layer of or is that a reasonable amount for him? 🫠

You know your baby and whether they tend to be warm or cold. If he feels OK it’s probably fine.

Personally I would go for much less clothes than that. We used the 0.2tog Love to Dream sleeping bags and some sort of short sleeve/short legs sleepsuit or short sleeve vest for any temperature over 24 degrees.

It’s a while ago now but I’m sure we had some sheet sleeping bags for really hot days. You’ll be fine though - our upstairs gets that hot and we didn’t have any fans either!

I would probably ditch the sleeping bag if he'll sleep ok without it.

That sounds like too much, my room's the same and my 1 year old is in a short sleeve vest and 0.5 tog sleeping bag. If you Google what to dress baby in at night various charts come up which give you a guide depending on temperature

I'd put baby in a baby grow but no sleeping bag.

Honestly so much guidance and every baby is diff!

my 2 I had one that was spot to advice and one that would scream the house down if she wasn’t an extra layer!

She’s nearly 7 and she couldn’t understand why grandparents went on a cruise to a cold country 🤣🤣
