Hi I'm just wondering does this happen to anyone elses baby, when my DS is sleeping at night I will feel his chest belly and back of neck and he could feel really cold , then I will go get him a vest to put under his baby grow and when I get back he feels warm again, this goes on all night one minute he feels freezing the next minute he feels like a perfect temperature, our room is warm with a fan going at the other side of the room not facing him and he just sleeps in a sleep suit and folded cellular blanket, im not really sure what to do

How old is baby?
I really wouldn't worry, if the room is a normal temperature, and baby doesn't have a ridiculous amount of layers on, they will be fine.
Do you have a thermometer in the room just incase?

Baby is 14 weeks, I never put to many layers to sleep I prefer to put less because I know if he's cold he will wake up, I had the groegg thermometer but I got rid of it as it was constantly telling me the room was to hot I think it was faulty I took it to every room in our house and it was the same temperature even the rooms at the back of the house which are freezing!

I agree Gro eggs are rubbish. I've never believed ours, so I just go by instinct

At 14 weeks he'll be starting to self regulate his temperature, I really wouldn't even worry yourself by continually checking how he feels. As you say, he'll let you know if too cold. If the room feels a normal temperature to you, he'll be fine.
