Okay! I won't worry about it too much then going forward! It seemed to measure about 4-5 degrees warmer than our house thermostat.

During her middle-of-the-night wakings, it was definitely cooler, so I turned off the fan. I don't really pay too much attention to the monitor temp. mrs. tictactoe on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759747 Fri, 03 May 2013 12:33:54 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 759747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 68-72 is supposed to best for SIDS prevention, but it has been really warm here and our house has been 75-78 at night. We also switched to just a onsie and very thin sleep sack. sunny on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759739 Fri, 03 May 2013 12:31:07 +0000 sunny 759739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ya we have the same problem with that monitor! It's always a few degrees higher than it actually is. I always used to freak out that the nursery was too warm but my LO seemed to like it around 75. pl0508 on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759673 Fri, 03 May 2013 12:06:17 +0000 pl0508 759673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @HabesBabe: @MamaMoose: @hilsy85: we have the same one ! banana on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759650 Fri, 03 May 2013 11:52:06 +0000 banana 759650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @shopaholic: We both live in SoCal so I know what you mean about the weather! It's usually pretty warm when we put the kids down but it cools down in the middle of the night. So we just leave it as is. We've only turned on the AC once (a few days ago) but only to cool it down 1 degree (from 78 to 77).

Two nights ago it freaked out and told me it was 34 degrees in LO's room. Ummm.... FALSE. hilsy85 on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759638 Fri, 03 May 2013 11:47:56 +0000 hilsy85 759638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @HabesBabe: ah ha! I KNEW That temp gauge was off! (we have the same monitor) HabesBabe on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759425 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:01:50 +0000 HabesBabe 759425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MamaMoose: I agree with you! I have the Motorola monitor and it says the nursery is between 77-80 usually. I know it's not that hot because we have coconut oil at her changing station and it doesn't melt. And I brought in an instant read thermometer and it wasn't close to that temp.

That's with the fan on high and the AC set to 80. The lowest it gets lately is 78. I don't like it! Bookish on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759415 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:59:48 +0000 Bookish 759415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So what is the recommended temp for a nursery? We keep our house at 77-78 in the summer to keep the bills down, and with the fans on and the shade from trees it's never even warm...but I have literally no idea what I should be keeping it on when LO gets here. Do I really need to crank it down to 70-72? I suppose I could add a fan or window unit just for her room. mamabolt on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759405 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:56:36 +0000 mamabolt 759405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I read a cool room is safer from a SIDS perspective, so I prefer it be around 70 in her room.

I've started ignoring the monitor and going with the thermostat ! shopaholic on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759330 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:29:48 +0000 shopaholic 759330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: @MamaMoose: hmmm! I DO feel like the monitor makes the nursery seem like the hottest room in the house! Actually by our 3 am feeding, the monitor said it was 73 degrees but I was sooo cold! Closed the window, turned off the fan, and cuddled under a blanket after nursing for a bit! MamaMoose on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759049 Fri, 03 May 2013 07:44:39 +0000 MamaMoose 759049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: I agree. Our monitor usually shows 78-80 and it doesn't feel anywhere near that hot in the room. looch on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759024 Fri, 03 May 2013 07:29:26 +0000 looch 759024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 68 was perfect, but we had a tough time maintaining that in the summer without air conditioning. hilsy85 on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-759018 Fri, 03 May 2013 07:26:03 +0000 hilsy85 759018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our monitor often reads a high temperature which makes me think it might not be accurate...it's often said 78 or even 80, but it doesn't feel like 80 in the room! Anyway, I don't stress about it...LO doesn't seem to mind. immabeetoo on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-758934 Fri, 03 May 2013 05:01:30 +0000 immabeetoo 758934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We turned our air on at 75 ( ceiling fan on ). He runs hot to begin with! birdofafeather on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-758918 Fri, 03 May 2013 04:09:06 +0000 birdofafeather 758918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Too hot for me. R likes it on the warm side but I cracked the window at 75. I feel better in the 73 range. mrsjyw on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-758914 Fri, 03 May 2013 03:59:40 +0000 mrsjyw 758914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we've been having this issue the past couple of nights, we actually ended up co-bedding last night because of it. he's in a sleeper and we finally got the room down to 75 when we put him down and it went down to 73... 78's too high for my comfort and he's not comfortable either sylvie_b on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-758898 Fri, 03 May 2013 01:20:24 +0000 sylvie_b 758898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a heat wave in SF too and our house is 74 degrees, with all the windows open! I just stripped our little dude down to his diaper & 1 A+A swaddle blanket so he won't overheat. :) shopaholic on "Nursery Temperature: How Warm Is Too Warm?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-temperature-how-warm-is-too-warm#post-758896 Fri, 03 May 2013 01:06:12 +0000 shopaholic 758896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're have a few days of a heat wave here and it is so hot! We put down baby in her nursery and I saw that it is 78 degrees! That's with the window cracked and the ceiling fan on! She is only sleeping in a onesie and a swaddle (first time just a onesie!) I thought about turning on the AC but DH thinks it's fine. As people who usually err on the side of rather be warm... What is too warm for a baby? WWYD if the nursery was 78?
