what do you set your thermostat to in the summer

jml5q

i know they say babies should sleep at 68-70 degrees. This seems fine for the winter when the heat is on, but this seems really cold in the summer with the a/c on. We used to set our a/c to 78 during the summer. what do you set your a/c to? do babies still need to sleep at 70 in the summer?

At night, 70. During the day when nobody is home, 75.

Wow, I can't believe how cool some of you keep your houses!  I would FREEZE to death!  (DH would love it though.) 

We set the heat to 70 at night and 72 during the day in winter.

We set the A/C at 74-76 at night and 76-78 during the day in the summer, depending on if DH is home or not.  (I can tolerate the higher temps.  We have the ceiling fans going on high though!)

We're cheap 78 in the summer (76 at night), and 68 in the winter (64ish at night)

In the baby care basics class I just took they said 70-72 during the summer should be good.

I have been hot lately so we have ours set on 73 during the day and 71 at night.

We're about 70-71 at night; during the day anywhere from 72-74 depending on how hot I can stand it.  I'm the one that's always hot.

Dh likes to keep it at 78 all the time so I can't wait for baby to come so I have a reason to keep it lower. He might freak out but what is best for baby is best

We keep it at 80 during the day and 76 at night. I cannot sleep unless it's super cold and 76 in our house is freezing! We also keep the fans on high, which makes it a lot cooler. I can't imagine keeping it at 68-70 degrees at night...we'd all have to have a million blankets on us.

Oh my!  I'm freezing in our house when we set the thermostat to 76!  I'd die at 70 and shudder to think what our electricity bill would be like at that temp. I'm shocked that so many people set it that low. 

We usually keep our thermostat set at 78 day and night during the summer.   We'll definitely set it lower when babies arrive, but I can't imagine we'd keep it cooler than 75.  Unless that's a huge no-no...

We kept our apt at about 78.  I'm curious to see how different the house will feel...

We kept our apartment at like 73 day and 69-70 night. We tried to do that in the house and we about froze our heines off! It was SO cold. Either the thermostats are off or our house is much better insulated than our apartment.
