When are you turning on your heat?

Its starting to get chilly here in NY!! I am worried with my LO being too cold at night- we havent turned on heat, we just dress her nice and warm for bed. Anyone have any crib sheets that they use when it gets cold? I have been looking for some but cant find anything good...

  • It's about 50 here, and were in a bottom apt surrounded by garages so it's freezing! I turned on the heat last night.

  • Yep -- ours is on too.  I'm usually the cheapskate in our marriage and try to wait as long as possible to turn on the heat or the AC, but my husband turned it on this weekend when I was at work.  He said he woke up to our house being a chilly 61*.

  • Any day over here. I turned on the electric fireplace a couple days last week. Soon I'll have to crack and turn on the heat.

  • I had the furnace set at 63 over the summer because of how ours works.  (Basically keep the temp so low it doesn't come on).  It kicked on last week at that temp, so I figured it was time to turn it up. I've still only got it set to 66, but I know soon I'll have to up it to 68. 

     

    Then again the forcast for here is that it will be back in the 80s by the weekend, so I'll probably go from heat to AC in a week.

  • It's on. It's been warm here, though, so I haven't heard it kick in in quite a while.

    We used to let it go down to 63 overnight, though, and I really shouldn't do that with the baby. I'll have to reprogram the thermostat.

  • Ours is on.  We actually put it on a few weeks ago then had to switch back to the a/s for a few days and now back to the heat.  I am in Central New York and we have odd weather like that.

  • We set our thermostat to 68 so the heat kicks on whenever it dips too far below that. 

    I recommend these sheets: https://www.amazon.com/Carters-Velour-Plush-Fitted-Chocolate/dp/B002UD65PE. You can find them at BRU. They are very soft and warm.

  • I am thinking like November? lol. We still have our AC on, as it gets close to or in the 90s during the day. It gets into the 60s, maybe 50s, at night so we could open the windows but DH hates sleeping with windows open (makes him nervous).

  • I'm so cheap that I probably squeak.

    We won't turn on our AC until it's staying in the 40's and 50's during the day here. At night it's getting into the 40's, but it's almost 90 during the day!
