We ran one in DD's room all of last winter with no problems. We took the same precautions, of course!

We do, our house is poorly designed, and the bedrooms are in the basement. We have heaters in her room and ours. Ours is stronger because we can get up and turn it off. we've been using it since mid-winter last year. You just have to remember to turn it off or flip over in the morning so it can turn off and have a rest for the day.

We used one the last two winters. We had one that got recalled (a vornado) so just beware of that!

@Mae: Our first was a summer baby and her hands were always cold unless it was HOT. The dr said as long as her body was warm it was fine. I put socks on her hands when she was very little before she could pull or try to bite them off. Our 2nd never had cold hands even as a late fall newborn.

I haven't used a space heater but my friend does and has had no issues.

But, to the cold hands thing, C used to have cold hands and feet too, even in the Merlin. I read it was normal and as long as her chest and belly were warm, not to worry about it. C seems to prefer sleeping in a cooler room (just like Dh and I do).

@Mae: Yup we use one. Our house is tiny and cold, so we had to get one for LO when he transitioned to his own room a year ago. It does make me a little nervous, but has always been fine. Last winter I always kept his room door cracked, but now I'm a little more comfortable wit it so we keep door closed (his room is right next to our only bathroom).

@Grace: We use the same kind!

We use one! Our house is old and has like 4 different additions so it doesn't heat the same. LO's room is the coldest- so he gets a little heater! It worked fine last year and so far has been ok this year.
