25 degrees in his room!! (now 26 eek!)

[jennifer89]

He's in a sleepsuit and vest is that okay? Xx

 

[MummyKaya]

I've just got him in a vest now. Took the sleepsuit off he felt too hot. Depends how he feels. Check the back of his neck

 

[loopy loulou]

My LOs room thermometer says 26 at the mo!!! She's got a short sleeved vest and a 1 tog sleeping bag. She doesn't feel too hot at the mo, so hope it will be ok.. She has a black out blind which keeps the heat out and the window is open.

Bloody weather... too hot.. too cold... can't win!!!

I'm sure they'll be fine... mummy knows best. xx

 

[jojo2605]

Thats definitely ok to me. IF my LOs room was that hot he'd only be in a vest and a loose cellular blanket to be honest. Thats what my LO is sleeping in at the moment as it seems quite warm and he seems quite hot and bothered!

 

[FunkyClaire]

It's 24 degrees in my LO's room and she's in just a vest (1.0 tog Grobag)... I was sweltering in there in just my nightie... dreading it getting any hotter!

Just found this, HtH

The following data supplied by the Shirley Institute in Manchester provides a useful rough guide to the tog ratings ascribed to various baby clothing and bedding:

Vest 0.2
Babygro 1.0
Jumper 2.0
Cardigan 2.0
Trousers 2.0
Nappy (disposible) 2.0 (less when wet)
Sleep suit 4.0
Sheet 0.2
Old blanket 1.5
New blanket 2.0
Quilts 9.0
Note that swaddling can increase the tog rating by up to 4 times. Likewise, a blanket folded in half doubles the tog rating.

2.5 tog: For use all year and for standard room temps of 61-69F/16-20C
1.0 tog: For use in warmer weather and in warmer rooms of 69-73F/20-24C
0.5 tog: For use in hot weather and warm room temps of 73-80F/24-27C

Besides the temperature of the room your baby is sleeping in, a number of other external factors determine the required tog rating of the sleeping bag, that is, the quantity of clothing your baby is wearing, your baby's health, and the amount of bedding required to keep your baby warm (this can vary from one child to another, but should become clear with time).
The table below is a guide to the level of clothing suitable to be worn under a Grobag sleeping bag for each of the three tog units:

I have just put Callum down in his vest and swaddled in a cellualr blanket. Its 24.5 in our room where he is. Unfortunately we still have to swaddle him as his startle reflex is really strong, I would love for him to be in a grobag now!

 

[MissRhead]

It's reaching 27 in our room, with the window open!! My LO is in his nappy with a really light cotton blanket, I just can't put anything eles on him he is sweating even now! X

thanks hun! its gone upto 26 now! think i might just go take his sleepsuit off, i've got the window open & blackout blinds, and its going up not down! poor mite is going to be sleeping naked soon!

p.s i couldnt see the table

xx

 

[Claire788]

odd, this should work!

 

[jennifer89]

odd, this should work!

does that mean...

if its 26 degrees, use a short sleeve vest & a 0.5 gro bag? xx

 

[Claire788]

actually looking at my post, havent even answered the question!!

Hmm I *Think* if its 26 degrees, a vest and a 0.5 tog grow bag like the chart says = 0.7 tog - OR

vest 0.2
Babygro 1.0
= 1.2 tog, maybe a bit warm, so I'd go with just a babygro or just a vest? iykwim?

Blimey thats complicated! lol

Mirren's room thermometer says 27 degrees! Her room has sun on it from now to sunset - the window is open the blind is down - she is wearing a nappy and a cotton dress. Last night she wore a vest only and no covers at all and he legs were still really hot!

what's it gonna be like when the temps get in the thirties!

 

[Jchihuahua]

Our room was 26 last night. Daisy had on a sleepsuit with no vest and no covers or sleeping bag. I had her 1.5tog sleeping bag ready to put her into if the temperature dropped or she was chilly but she was fine.

 

[Jolinar]

I'd see how the baby feels underneath the clothes, Nicholas was too warm in a sleepsuit and vest, he's spent the whole day in just his body suit today and seems much happier.

If the sun is on the room its best to close the window before the sun comes around and pull the blinds and curtains to keep the heat out. The temps are much higher in the sun.

 

[chele]

Where can you get a 0.5 tog sleeping bag from that doesn't cost the earth?

At night it's 24 in my LOs room and he's in a short sleeve vest and a 1 tog sleeping bag. He is fine without the sleeping bag but gets cold about 4am if without it

 

[minnie83]

LO's room was over 26 last night when I put her to bed, I put her in a sleepsuit (no vest) and opened her 1 tog sleeping bag and put her on top of it. Later on I zipped her up, luckily she's not a wriggler at night!

 

[Mrs Muffin]

Last night Darwin wore a vest and a sleepsuit and it was about 21C I think tonight he might have to wear less. He's playing just with his on nappy right now So hard to know what to do!

 

[Embovstar]

hey, it's 26 in my flat too. Isaac is just in his nappy and a vest. Last night was pretty warm too so he slept in a vest and babygro but was not swaddled nor did he have a blanket.

I'll do the same tonight but with only 1 layer of clothing...

Bloody weather!

Nicola xx

 

[EmmaDueInFeb]

ditto, our room is 26 degrees....got Evie in a short sleeve bodysuit & just a sheet tucked round her.....we have a blackout blind too, I swear they absorb heat !

Even my toddler is just sleeping in a jammy top and a sheet as her 4 tog duvet is making her sweat !

Ah well, the weather man says it'll all be over by Monday x
