What temperature do you keep your house in winter?

D&D4Ever7

Just curious to find this from everyone who has little ones!  Our's is set at 71 during the day and 68 at night.  Also, do you put a hat on your LO at night time?  I want to make sure he is not too hot or too cold at night.

67 during the day 65 at night. If it weren't for B that would be 65 when we are home, 60 at night. I like blankets.

When she was wee last winter she wore a beanie hat to bed every night along with a fleece footed sleeper and a swaddle blanket.

Now she just wears the fleece footie and she has one of those Aiden and Anis muslin blankets that she generally wears as a cape...

We have it set at 68* for a few hours in the morning and evening, then it's set at 65* when we're sleeping and/or not home.  We also have a wood stove in the basement that helps heat our house, too.

I don't think you're supposed to put a hat on LO when they are sleeping.

We keep it at 68.  When DD was little I was paranoid about her getting cold.  One night I had her in a light weight gown and a microfleece sleep sack.  When I went to change her diaper I realized that she was sweating.  I felt so bad.  I switched to the lighter sleep sacks after that. 

 I also tried putting hats on DD at night, but she would always wiggle out of it.

Every baby is different.  DD tends to be on the hot side, so I try to not over dress her.  Right now she sleeps in fleece footie jammies with no blankets.  That keeps her comfortable.  Your baby may prefer more layers - it just depends on the lo.

69 at night, 70-72 during the day.  No hat--we swaddle her and then I lay a heavier blanked over the bottom half of her body.  She's in the RNP, so she can't roll over or anything, so no chance of the blanket getting to close to her mouth.

Once she goes in her crib (thinking about doing it next week--eek!) I won't do the extra blanket.  Will still swaddle until she can roll back to belly.  I use the light A&A swaddle blankets.

71 day, 68 night.  Last winter we'd put her in a tee shirt or onesie, footed fleece sleeper, and swaddle her in a warm blanket.

68 during the day and 64 or 65 at night. 

We put DD in a fleece sack or fleece footed jammies with a onesie and socks under.

68 at night, 70-72 during the day.  Just footie jams with a Onesie underneath.  Our hvac system somehow superheats/cools the bedrooms when the door is shut vs. the open living areas.  His room stays pretty warm, around 73/74.  No hat.  He would certainly take it off and choke on it.  Same with 2piece pajamas and socks.  He took off his pants today in a matter of 1.5 minutes and was chewing on them!  I don't even know how he did it.  He hates wearing clothes.

We lower it during the day when no one is home

It doesn't get too cold here in New Orleans, but when it does, we usually keep the thermostat set at 67.  I may raise it a bit first thing in the morning but our heater puts out a ton of heat and anything higher than that I feel like I'm going to smother. 

Last winter DS wore the fleece sleep sack and fleece footed jammies.  This year, he will probably still do the fleece footed jammies.

Ours is 72 while getting ready in the am, 65 during the day when we're gone, then 72 again in the evening, then 68 overnight I think.

We're right around 70.  I usually skip the hat.
