Help - Rooming in and window draft?

atcwag

So I'm doing some research on "rooming in" options.  I'm not sure that bedsharing will be right for us, but I plan to EBF, so having baby in our room for at least the first few months will be ideal.

The way our bedroom layout is, I can really only see a  bed-attached co-sleeper, Rock-n-Play or Pack-n-Play fitting in the "L" portion of our slightly L-shaped bedroom.  We have a king-sized bed and no matter how much I think about rearranging the room, I really don't think there is anywhere to put baby, but in this little alcove. 

The problem is, the 2 windows that are located in our room are in this area (1 on each wall) and the area is only about 3 ft.x 6 ft. x 3 ft.  The 3rd wall has the door to our attic.  We do have heavy-duty curtains with black-out liners.  The windows close tightly and I can't feel any draft.  We would also put up some sort of draft barrier plastic and or draft guards.  Anyway, even though I don't feel a draft, I would imagine that this would be the coldest area of our room and baby is due on 9/30 - we live in PA, so cold winters! 

Anway, what are everyone's thoughts?  Do you think this is a no-go, or would be ok?  Should I just take the temperature of this area compared to the rest of the room?

Note: Baby/whatever baby is sleeping in would not be directly against window or within grabbing distance of curtains (we plan to have baby in own room by that "mobile" stage anyway)

I wouldn't over think it - just dress baby warmly if you aren't bed sharing.  The sleep sacks over PJs are quite warm if you don't swaddle.  And also remember that it's worse for baby to be too hot than too cold (as they are going to let you kno
