If its 77 degrees I think a fleece sleeper + onesie + swaddle blanket is too much. Ideally your baby should be dressed in about the same layers as you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656728 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:00:36 +0000 dagret 656728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: yeh SIDS was my worry RE getting too hot. We are in the northeast and the temp in our house runs from 70-72. My parents heat with coal which is why their house is soooo hot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656675 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 07:38:55 +0000 MusicaV 656675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overheating is one of the risks for SIDS. I heard somewhere (maybe HB?) that it's better to judge if your LO is cold by touching his ears. Baby extremities do get cool during sleep. I think it's a coincidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656674 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 07:38:14 +0000 winniebee 656674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could just be a coincidence (my LO didn't sleep longer than a 4 hour stretch until 8 weeks, either).</p> <p>How cold do you normally keep your house? We keep his room at 70/72. He's in a long sleeve onesie, fleece/terry sleeper, and fleece sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656671 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 07:36:22 +0000 pl0508 656671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want it warm but want to cut some layers could you try a space heater ?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656592 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 05:49:49 +0000 ladyfingers 656592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read that it's best to err on the side of under rather than over bundling. Overheating can contribute to SIDS -- only because it makes them sleep too deeply to wake up if they're having breathing problems -- so I'm always paranoid. LO sleeps in a short sleeved onesie and a miracle blanket and we keep the house at 70 w/heat on, 74 w/ ac, and have a fan running in our/his room. But I don't know what's actually best for sleep -- maybe your guy prefers to be warm! I just know the recommendation is to keep their sleeping quarters between 60 and 70 and if they're sweaty/their chest feels hot then they're too bundled.</p> <p>ETA we live in Florida so it tends to be very humid, which can make our house feel hotter than it is, so that's also a consideration of ours when deciding how to dress LO for bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656564 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:05:49 +0000 pl0508 656564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm .. J runs hot so I'm not sure. We keep it about 73 at night and he sleeps in a long sleeve onesie and swaddle. Seriously baby boy runs HOT. we also live in the south though. It was 75 here yesterday. I would try it again a few nights in a row to see if there is a correlation ! Maybe some up north bees will have better advice ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-to-sttn#post-656547 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:00:18 +0000 dagret 656547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is 8 weeks old and just had his longest stretch of sleep ever - 4 hrs 45 min. Until now, the longest stretch he's had was 4 hrs. Tonight he was in a fleece sleeper and onesie and swaddled with an A&amp;A blanket and was almost sweaty before bed. And my parents house is a balmy 77 degrees. Seriously. </p> <p>Obviously I don't want him to be too hot...but I'm wondering if he's waking up because he's cold. His little hands are usually cool in the middle of the night. Right now they're the same temp as the rest of him. We usually dress him in a onesie, sleeper (usually terry or fleece) and swaddle. </p> <p> What do you think? </p>
