How to Dress for Bedtime

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
My LO is 3 1/2 months old (will be 4 months old on June 18th). I was wondering what the most appropriate thing is to dress him in for bedtime during spring and summer? We keep the room he sleeps in between 70 and 72 degrees. I have been dressing him in footie long-sleeved pajamas so that he doesn't get too cold.

Is this what I should be dressing him in or am I possibly overdressing him. I don't want him to get either too hot or too cold at night. Any thoughts?

    Many will say that your room temp is too warm and should be kept below 70, but I personally keep room temps at around the same here. 

    I just dress DD in a footed PJ and a light sleep sack. If it's warmer than that, I'll skip the sleep sack.

    We keep our house at 71 w/a ceiling fan running. I dress my 4 month old in a long sleeved shirt & diaper. She is hot natured though.  :)

    I was doing footie pajamas up until about a week ago, when it starting reaching 80. When it gets hot, I put DS in just a diaper with a thin blanket. I also put a pillow case under him, so it keeps him cool.

    it's it's between 70 and 80, I put him in a onsie with footie PJ pants.

    Our house currently has cooling issues, so it doesn't go below 72 til after midnight. So our LO sleeps in a onesie. He's hot natured like his daddy.

    I've been putting my four month old in a onesie (usually short sleeved) with a lightweight pair of footie pj's over top.  If it's chilly, I will add a sleeveless sleep sack.  Her room is around 72 at night as well.

    I also do a short sleeved onesie and a cotton sleeper. 
    Our house is about 69ish. 
    My kids are never cold though either, so I never worry about it.

    LO turned 3mo today. She just wears a onsie and is swaddled with arms out. House is generally 71-72 degrees at night and we keep a ceiling fan running.

    Our house is usually around 65 at night.  We dress DD2 (4 months old) in light weight footed pjs and a sleeveless fleece sleep sack. If it gets warmer, she uses a light sleep sack and/or a onsie instead of pjs.  

    Totally off the subject....but I think sleep sacks are the most adorable thing a little one can wear/use :-)  I'll be bummed the day DD2 doesn't want one any more.  DD1 (now 3 years old) never liked them.
