Right now she is wearing light long-sleeve pjs and a thicker 2.5 tog sleep sack. Her room temp is 67-72 degrees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192966 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 19:57:00 +0000 junebugmama 1192966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>65-70 is the best temp for baby. So I wouldn't worry about the temp, it sounds like baby will be warm enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192950 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 19:39:49 +0000 QueensBee 1192950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always keep a fan on in there, for the white noise as well as air circulation. I figure that he'll let me know if he's uncomfortable with the temperature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192936 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 19:29:06 +0000 MoonMoon 1192936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: me too. In our birth class/hospital they recommended 65-70 degrees, and our friends said their birth instructor said the best temperature for a baby is one where adults would be comfortable with a sweater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192890 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 18:50:40 +0000 lawbee11 1192890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her room is usually around 72. And we always run the fan. My LO runs hot, though, so I don't usually worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192883 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 18:44:41 +0000 singingbee 1192883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere that they recommend babies rooms to be around 65 to help with SIDS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192844 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 18:27:20 +0000 MoonMoon 1192844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think your husband's suggestion of running the fan on reverse (winter mode) is a great one. It'll circulate the warm air instead of cooling the air. I'm terrified of Sids too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192747 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 17:12:09 +0000 kjpugs 1192747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped told us not to worry about cold hands/feet- that their circulation isn't great yet, making cold hands/feet totally normal. I HATE it though!!! And we have a fan, baby is in a PNP in our room though and our room gets kind of hot. Plus it's FL... we still have the AC on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192728 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 16:52:31 +0000 marionberry 1192728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Yes it is! Cosleeping freaks me out because of SIDS but it works so well that I do my best to ignore the anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192705 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 16:12:40 +0000 cascademom 1192705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby's hands tend to be cool in general. I've run a fan in LO's room since he was a newborn because of SIDS. His room is kept at about 70 degrees usually. His room is also the smallest in the house, so circulation helps a lot. At night, we've put him in micro fleece sleepers with autumn and winter. During summer, he just wore cotton footies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192690 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:49:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1192690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I was told its normal for their extremities to be cold as long as their core feels warm. That's what I go by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192683 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:39:41 +0000 ladybee 1192683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: this whole mom thing is anxiety provoking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192679 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:28:14 +0000 ladybee 1192679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: his hands are cold during night feedings, which is why I'm worried about him being cold. DH just put the fan on reverse to circulate air but I'm not sold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192678 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:26:08 +0000 marionberry 1192678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO sleeps in our bed and my SO is really hot at night so we always have had a fan running and the AC on. It gets pretty cold sometimes but he's always been fine snuggled up next to us. I wouldn't think you'd have to worry about temp unless it's REALLY cold in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192663 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:14:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 1192663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep it pretty cool, prob 70 or slightly below. She sleeps in a magic sleepsuit now and her hands are always freezing when I get her in the motn but I've read too cool is better than too warm. I think you would be fine with the fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192658 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:12:46 +0000 Bao 1192658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has slept with a fan since she was a newborn, but more for the white noise of it than anything. We just put warm pajamas and a sleep sack on her in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fan-in-babys-room#post-1192653 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:10:36 +0000 ladybee 1192653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a FTM and feeling very anxious about SIDS. It's cool here and we are keeling lo's room at 70-72 degrees. We have a ceiling fan but I feel like it makes his room so cold. However, I keep reading how air circulation reduces the risks and now I feel like I should have something. </p> <p>Do you run a fan in lo's room? What temp do you keep it? DH said that putting the fan on reverse may be an option. Thoughts? Suggestions? </p> <p>LO sleeps in a long sleeved side snap tee or onesie and a fleece halo swaddle sack. </p>
