What should baby wear to bed if room 25 degrees?

[summerbabe]

Our baby monitor says high 25 degrees in our room.

England is having a mini heatwave at the moment and I'm really not sure how best to regulate lo temperature. He's five weeks old.

At the moment weve been putting him in a baby grow with no vest and no cover / blanket.

Is this still too much? Should he just be in nappy or no sleeve and no leg vest?

We are sleeping in our underwear on top of the covers and keeping the windows closed. Would you open a window?

What are you doing or what would you recommend please ?

My girls in just a vest and its 24 in her room, I'm from Notts x

I would do a vest with a thin cotton sheet to cover,or just a sleepsuit with no cover.

Mine are in 1 tog sleeping bags with a very thin long sleeve top (not a vest, as I thought a regular top would be cooler).

 

[J23]

I agree, vest with no sleeves, legs and a wee sheet or a sleepsuit and nothing. Have you got a grobag?

Poppy's been in a vest and a 1 tog sleeping bag the past few nights and it's been 25 - 26 degrees saying that her arms were cold last night so I put a thing sheet over her too.
Oh and we have the window open a bit cause it feels stuffy other wise. x

It's 22/23 degrees in our room and Louis is in short sleeve legless body with 1 tog grobag x

Thanks everyone.

I have a sleep bag but its 2.5 tog. Think that's too thick.

I think I'll leave him in sleep suit and no cover and change to vest if he seems warm during night feed.

This is difficult isn't it?!

My lo is in a baby gro tonight but nothing else. She was in a short sleeved/;egged baby gro last night but woke up cos she was cold. I keep her window open all day but close the one in her room when i put her down. All the other windows upstairs are open to keep the air circulating.

Who'd thought this thread would happen in October!!!

The last few nights we have had him in just his nappy and his swaddleme blanket coz he won't sleep without it. I'm stressing so much about him being too hot, it's awful! I've been sleeping on the sofa downstairs with him in his Moses basket since the heatwave started coz our upstairs is so hot. Bring on the blimmin snow!!

It's been 25 in here all week so Lola has been in a vest and cellular blanket only xx

Ellie gro egg thermometer is always at 23 and we have her in a vest and babygrow and she has a blanket, she cant fit in a grobag at the moment cause of her cast, but if we dress her in anything less she wake up all night x

Bobbys room is 25 degrees and hes in a sleepsuit with a thin blanket over him!!

I put LO in a short sleve legless body suit. We co sleep so she is sharing my body heat so I dont use a blanket. She tends to feel the heat. We usually have fan on when hot but not directly on us. We did have her in just a nappy earlier today since we have large windows in living room and was very hot. If I put a blanket on her and its warm she tends to kick it off anyhow. I have got a gro bag for her but have only used a couple of times, will be using when gets colder.

Our room thermometer read 26 degrees last night, our house is always sooo warm! Mad isn't it, it's October!! Lol.

Our LO wont sleep unless swaddled, whatever the heat We tried not swaddling her and just having her in either just a sleepsuit/just a vest/just a nappy/one blanket/one grobag and combinations of the above, but nothing worked.. We now swaddle her in a very thin cotton swaddling blanket, and just a nappy. We have the windows open (or at least on latch) with her crib under the window to get some breeze, and have the ceiling fan on to keep the air circulating. We check on her regularly before we go to bed ourselves (it tends to have cooled down a little by the time we go) and check she's not too hot, but she's always fine, doesn't break a sweat or anything (which is strange as she's a very warm baby, and lets us know when she's too hot!) We also have the sensor mat on for extra reassurance as I'm forever paranoid!
