Heat - Keeping baby warm at night

This question is for everyone but,
Trish and Karen I saw on the home board that you both keep the heat at 62 at night.

How are you guys keeping the little ones toasty at night?

Aidan is in a onesie and fleece feetie pajamas and I feel like he is cold so I keep bumping th heat from 63-64 to 67. He won't keep a blanket on him.
Last winter we used the Halo sleep sack but I don't thin they come in a 2T LOL plus it would drive him crazy.

I want to keep the heat and costs low, but if I feel cold without blankets in the middle of the night I am constantly getting up to turn it up because I think he will be. 64 is cold in my house, that may not be the case with everyone else.

Everyones input welcome!

Re: Heat - Keeping baby warm at night

I am curious about this too.......I have been putting Claire in a onesie and then a footed one piece fleece pjs and then I put 2 blankets over her. Luckily she stays put most of the night, but still I feel like her hands and face can get cold. We used the heat for the first time yesterday and will try to be conservative with it this winter. However 62 degrees upstairs in our house is somewhat comfortable.........

If DS wakes up in the middle of the night the blanket comes off. So I usually put him to bed in a sleeper with feet and lately have been using a long sleeved fleece sleep sack.

Re: Heat - Keeping baby warm at night

That is partly why I keep the temp at 70 all the time...and I'm a big baby and don't like to be cold Mallory sleeps in a onsie and a blanket sleeper, I cover her up but she is constantly kicking off the blanket.

I have a space heater in her room

Re: Heat - Keeping baby warm at night

We put Jesse in a onesie, one piece pjs with feet and a sleepsack. Right now we use the lullabag but he is outgrowing it so we just ordered a "baby in a bag". These come in big sizes.

baby in a bag


ETA: DH won't put Jesse in fleece - only cotton - that's why we haven't used a Halo

I want to get one of those sleep saks - I am a terrible overdresser when it comes to him.

Re: Heat - Keeping baby warm at night

Alex sleeps in a onsie and PJs, he never wakes up at night so I assume he is comfy. I am too scared to give him a blanket yet and I don't think he would go for a blanket sleeper because he rolls around a lot. I keep the heat at about 68.

Ysep, I'm one of those nuts who keeps her thermostat at 62 overnight

I always dress Andrew in a footed, long sleeve PJ or fleece PJs. I did the sleep sack with him last year, but I doubt he'd like it, even though I do belive you can get them in his size.

I ckeck on him at night too and I make sure his blankets are on. I am sure if he was cold, he'd wake up crying, no?

Re: Heat - Keeping baby warm at night

My mom told me that it being a little chilly in the house is ok for a baby...it's just a draft that is bad.

ETA...we love heat so we are ast 69-70 sometimes 72...
