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.

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.

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.

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!

I read somewhere that they recommend babies rooms to be around 65 to help with SIDS.

@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.

65-70 is the best temp for baby. So I wouldn't worry about the temp, it sounds like baby will be warm enough.
