How warm do you dress your kids? I feel like I'm always cold. But lo1 is going all the time and lo2 tends to run hot.
It's 64 in the house right now (it's in the 40s outside. Ugh I hate the weather in Montana!) lo2 is just in a sleeper with a quilt around him in the RNP. But does he need a hat or mittens??

Fahrenheit?!?! Omg why is it so cold already???
We keep the house in mid to high 60s in the cold season. LO 1 is usually in a long sleeved tee, Leggings and socks. If it's particularly cold might add another layer like a t-shirt or light vest.

We keep our house at 68 and both my kids run hot - my DS will wears shorts and tell me its hot while I am under a blanket!
For newborns/ young kids it better for them to be a little cool than overheated - I would NOT do mittens or a hat

We keep our house at 58 at night during the winter. Fleece footed sleeper and a sleep sack has always been enough for us.

We use a lot of zip up fleeces so they can easily take them on/off and double up on pjs at night. I also have a space heater for the bathroom so they don't get too cold otherwise they're just covered in goosebumps.

Holy cow that freezing for inside. In the winter we keep it at 69. In the summer, it is currently a comfy 74 in my house.

We don't go below 65 at night here. We do lots of layers and a sleep sack.

My pediatrician always said to feel the back of her neck to know if she was comfortable, not her hands - I guess baby hands and feet can always feel cooler because they don't have the same circulation that we do? Idk! That's what I went by and seemed to work well

We keep it between 68 and 70. Just a fleece sleeper for lo. When he was really teeny and still swaddled we did a long sleeve tee or onesie with his two swaddles and he was fine. Definitely better for them to be a little cooler than too hot.
