How warm do/will you keep the room for a newborn/infant?
We live in an older home, so often our bedroom, where LO will sleep for several weeks at least, is barely 60 degrees at night. I know I can put a layer/two under the sleep sack/swaddler, but what about LO's tiny exposed head??

A few recommendations, other than having babe wear a hat, which I agree with.
1. Do you have carpet/area rugs? If not, get them.
2. Are your windows drafty? You can use that shrinking plastic that you seal with a hair dryer. Works like a charm, then you just peel off in spring when weather warms up. Also heavy lined drapes that you can close all the way.
3. Make sure nothing is blocking your heat source.
4. You can run a small space heater before bedtime, then turn it off if you are nervous sleeping with it on. DeLonghi makes great safe heaters with auto shutoff and even tip safety switches.
Hope some of these suggestions help!

Yes - I just wasn't sure how warm it should be... it's hard to keep an old house in northern New England warm/consistent....

My kids needed to be walked/bounced to sleep for a while as well when they woke at night. No more staying snuggled under the covers all night long
