House temp & PJs

kymelissa · November 2013

I keep the house temp at 71 degrees. LO sleeps in a onesie and a thick long sleeve blanket sack. Her hands are like ice in the morning. Should I put her in a long sleeve sleeper with the long sleeve blanket sack? It still would not cover her hands but maybe keep her warmer.

I put those little mittens on LO. Our house is about the same temp and she wears the same pjs.

My LOs body is nice and warm in footy PJs and a fleece sleep sack. Her hands are still like ice in the AM. Not sure warmer pjs will help you either.

My LO's hands get chilly too. We keep it at 71 but I know he's warm because we do a footed pj and the sleep suit. Maybe you could try a footer sleeper? I always check his chest and make sure he's warm. If its just the hands you could do socks or mittens on them. I feel like a baby won't sleep good if they are too hot or cold so if she's sleeping well I wouldn't worry.

We do a footed sleeper at night. I think as long as their core is warm then it's ok because their hands/feet have poor circulation.

We keep it at 71 also. I put her in a long sleeved footed sleeper with a sleeveless sleep sack over it. She is plenty warm.

Here's a pic:

My pedi said as long as LO's core temp stays up it's ok for his hands to get cold. I think what you're doing is perfect.

Same as others (footy jammies and fleece sleep sack) and her hands are usually chilly in the morning. But her cheeks, ears, nose are always warm so I don't worry about it.
