I've been putting her down in cotton footie pajamas (carters) and a cotton sleep sack (Halo, not the swaddle kind). Should i be dressing her warmer--maybe in fleece jammies or heavier sack? She seems OK (sleeps fine, etc) but her exposed skin (face and hands) feels pretty chilly when we wake her up in the AM.
Edited to add she's 3.5 months old.

I would probably try a fleece sleep sack--carter's makes kinds with arms, which is what we used in the spring for LO after we swaddle weaned. Or you can try an undershirt under the cotton sleeper--w'eve done that as well.

ETA it's also normal for hands and face to feel cool--if her core is fine she's probably fine as well.

@hilsy85: We have one of those with the arms -- do you layer a long sleeved pajama under it? I have only put her in it wearing a onesie with short sleeves since i wasn't sure if I could tuck her sleeves inside those other sleeves.

@LazyLightning: yup I put LO in a long sleeved footed sleeper under the fleece sleeper with arms...and when it got really chilly, I would even put an undershirt under all that! He was never a "hot" baby though, I know some are.

I would do cotton sleeper and a fleece sleepsack. We keep the house at 71 at night and I put E in some combination of cotton and fleece, whether that's a fleece sleeper with a cotton halo sleepsack or a cotton sleeper with a fleece sleepsack.

Long sleeve cotton sleeper, and a warmer fleece sleepsack. Our house often drops to near 60 at night in the winter and that's when I start breaking out the fleece footed sleepers with a long-sleeved undershirt underneath. For 68, it sounds like what you're describing is close to all you need.
