How warm do you keep your house

bncmommy

at night? My baby sleeps in the swing so I can't swaddle him. He also likes to suck on his hands so they have to be out. We've been keeping the house at 67 and his little hands are like ice cubes when he gets up!  But he slept through the night the past 2 nights so I don't think he's cold.

68 or 69

Their circulation is still immature, so their hands and feet will almost always be cold.  We keep my house between 72 and 76, but that's because I'm always cold!

thermostat at 70, but our upstairs where nursery is seems to be cooler than downstairsm so we put a space heater in nursery and he sleeps much better now

During the day we keep it at 68 and at night it's 72. Her little hands get cold a lot, so I put her in sleepers that have the little fold down mittens on them.

68-72 is what is recommended for babies/NBs. I know the hospital kept our room at 72.

We keep our heat at 74, but that's because it's all weird in our house. We keep it at 74 and it's 74 in our room, but 69 in DD1's room and 72 in DD2's room. If it were a bit more consistent, we'd have it set to 72. But poor DD1 would freeze if we did that And we have ALL the vents closed upstairs except for those in DD1's room. Total PITA!

OUr house is kept at 65, but heats unevenly due to open/high ceilings. We put a space heater in her nursery with a separate inside thermometer and keep it at 70-72 at night. She sleeps in a sleep gown & a miracle blanket swaddle.

I'm always freezing so we keep it around 73.

Normally 68, but since DD came home, I have kept it at 71 (not looking forward to seeing that bill when it comes in!).

between 70 and 72. Her little hands are always cold too. But this is due to circulation. Check the back of neck or tummy for true measurement of their body temp.

Between 67-69

totally trying

We keep ours at 68, when DS in his swing his hands get really cold to.  you could try after your LO falls asleep to cover up his hands, that is what I do and it seems to help.  My DS only sleeps in his swing during the day though.

We keep the AC at 75.  When it gets cold and we turn on the heater, it will probably be set to 72.

I must be colder then everyone else but I keep the heater set at 73 and I still felt it was too cold for DD

67-69.  DD's hands are always cold too.  Mainly because of circulation.  I keep her hands uncovered when she is a wake (in case she wants to start grabbing at her toys) but when she is sleeping I always cover them.  Right know she has socks on her hands.  It gets the job done.

We keep ours at either 68 or 69.  I feel like 68 is too cold and 69 is too warm.  The nursery is the coolest room in our place so I'm constantly juggling the temp in here to make sure she's comfortable in there.  At 69 she usually wakes up a little sweaty ... so I try for 68.
