Sorry I am full of questions: What temperature at night for a newborn?
DH is so concerned the baby is cold so he puts the heat up to 72- it gets really toasty in our room plus DD wears a sleepsack. I definitely don't want to overheat her but I don't want her to be cold either.
What temperature do you set your thermostat for at night with a newborn?

We keep the temp the same as we always have... we just dress DS in layers and if it's a little chilly at night, we put a hat on him.

Our house is constantly at 68. The nurses at the hospital told us 68-70 is good. Any less is probably too cold and anything more could be too dry for them.

We used to keep it at 66 and then dress DD in a couple of layers & a hat if necessary as PP posted.

68-72 is fine. With infants, you are always better off cooler air than warmer as long as they're layered with clothes.
Once you've battled croup, you'll appreciate the cold air.

Re: Sorry I am full of questions: What temperature at night for a newborn?
We keep dd room between 68 & 71. She wears fleece feetie pjs. We also keep her fan on low the opposite way to circulate the air. Maybe try that w/ the fan. Be careful of over heating. Also please dont put a hat on a baby. So dangerous. It can slide over their face. I hate that they sell pj sets w/ hats. My dd was in the nicu and the nurses stressed no hats while sleeping! It is a SIDS risk.

cooler is better, they sleep better in cooler temps too!
We set the thermostat at 70, but keep his window open a crack.

Re: Sorry I am full of questions: What temperature at night for a newborn?
Since DS was a preemie, we upped our thermostat to 69 at night (we use to have it at 66). Our room gets extra toasty, so I use a fan on high. DS sleeps in fleece PJ's & a sleepsack

Re: Sorry I am full of questions: What temperature at night for a newborn?
Both of my DCs rooms get COLD so we have always bundled them. Now I got the GroEgg and according to that optimal temp appears to be pretty cold (64-68)

Re: Sorry I am full of questions: What temperature at night for a newborn?
I have the egg too, i dont go by what they suggest. I agree it is too cold. Her egg usually says 71. I keep it in the orange range. I think her room is actually a little cooler than it says.
