My 6 month old DS is in his cot in the room immediately next door to us. He shares this room with my DD (2.5years). She sleeps like a log and doesn't feel it but he has had a couple of terrible nights. According to the monitor, the room was at 13'C, despite having double glazed windows etc (it's an old Edwardian house and is draughty). He sleeps in a vest, baby grow, grow bag and 2 cellular blankets on top.
I know they say that babies' hands and feet are always colder but his hands have been like absolute ice blocks. His chest and the back of his neck have felt okay (not hot, not cold) but his hands and his forearms are just beyond cold. Last night I had to bring him in with us at 4am and I just rubbed his hands and arms until they were warm. He slept like a log as soon as he warmed up.
Other than leaving the heating on all night (it's a 5 bed house, too big to heat the whole thing every night)- do you have any suggestions of how to keep him a bit warmer? I've brought his cot into our room this evening as our room has less windows and feels warmer. He is appropriately dressed according to the guidelines. Any bright ideas please!
