Room temp & clothing at night?

We've had a good bedtime routine for months now, DS is a good sleeper...but my mom babysat the other night & seemed to think it's too much that we put him in a sleep & play w a cotton sleepsack over it. We keep his room at 73/74. He's also had a morning cough for 2 months that the ped says is nothing to worry about but not to keep the room too cool at night. Even so, is he overdressed? Can you share your LO's bedtime ensemble & room temp? TIA!

At that temp I don't think the sleep sack is necessary

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

That is fairly warm to me. DS's ac is set at 70 and his room goes down to 68 sometimes. The cooler the better my dr said. He sleeps in fleece jammies now.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

We kee her room at 71/72 and all she wears is pjs and has dine so since since about 7/8 months when she refused the sleep sack. We try and put a blanket on but it doesn't stay long haha shes 2 now

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

My DS is 11 months. I have CAC at 73 or 74 and he is in footed PJs with no sleep sack. I put a light blanket on him but he kicks it off.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

Thanks for the responses. I will try just the pjs tonight & see how he does.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

We keep the house at about 70. DD sleeps in 2 piece PJs - long pants and a short sleeve shirt. Blanket in the crib, but not on top of her and we keep her fan on. Her room is also the hottest in the house and the farthest from our wall unit AC.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

DS still sleeps in my room but he wears a sleep and play and a cotton swaddle me. I set the AC to 71 and use a ceiling fan and i pretty much freeze all night. I keep the door closed to my room so maybe that makes it colder than 71 but in the morning it's like an ice box. I think if i set my AC to 66-68, i'd need to sleep with a jacket on.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

wow, i guess i am keeping him way too warm! he's such a good sleeper and he wakes up w cold hands so i figured what we were doing was working, but maybe he's not as comfortable as i thought! don't want him feeling too warm, or to grow up feeling cold all the time like his momma!!

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

I keep the CAC on 69- 70 and her room is the coldest in the house. I put her in cotton footy pj's with a fleece sleep sack.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

I think its too much.
DSs air conditioner is on low and wears tshirt/short pjs with his blankets (ds is 25m but weve never put morethan feetie pjs and a blanket)

We set DDs room at 71, and she wears light l/s feetie pjs and a blanket.

Re: Room temp & clothing at night?

my dd is one and we put the AC at 74. she sleeps in light cotton pants and t shirt to sleep. i also try to put a blanket on her but it doesnt last long

What you listed definitely sounds like too much clothes to me. DD is 15 moand her room fluctuates from 74-77 at night (with a ceiling fan on and AC but we don't keep it very low). She usually sleeps in a short sleeve t-shirt and shorts or onesie. I put her to sleep with a light knit blanket over her but I'm sure she quickly removes it. I have a cotton sleep sack but I think DD would be too warm with it.

I can't believe how low some of you keep your AC's but I guess temps must feel different in different homes.

i put him in footed PJs and a light cotton sleep sack and temp gets down to around 68 at night, sometimes even cooler... DS likes it cold just like DH!!!

DS is 5 months. His room is around 75 this time of year and he sleeps in a sleep n play with footies. If the temp goes higher then that (naps during day) I keep him in a short sleeved onesie.
