What temperature do you all keep your babies room at and how do you dress them accordingly?

    In my LO room we tried to keep it at 75, but it seems to be a little colder so we do sleepers and I may put on a light blanket

    68 and LO sleeps in a sleep sack. Her room is a bit cold (two external walls) so I think it probably gets to about 66 at the coldest part of the night.

    72-73, and he sleeps in a sleeper with no blankets on him. That's at night. During the day it's 74-75 and he sleeps in a onsie.

    the health nurse that visited our home (in Canada) stated babies like it cool; 16 - 18 Celsius (conversion is 60.8 - 64.4 Fahrenheit).  We were told this is especially important for infants as it lowers their risk for SIDS.

    In the 70's and normally sleeps in either a onsie or something with feet if his legs or feet feel cool to the touch. Anything thick and he just sweats in it and socks just don't stay on for very long between fat lil legs and squirming around.

    We were always told dress him similar to how we were dressed to stay a comfortable temp.

    A little common sense goes a long way. If he is sweating, he's hot. If his legs and arms feel cool or cold to the touch, they probably are.

    Mine refuses to wear clothes to bed, or let me drape him with anything. He can be fast asleep, and cold to the touch.. As soon as he feels warmth he wakes up very upset. We keep the house at 69. I'm very glad I quit doing what everyone says... "Dress baby how you would dress, plus one layer". I walk around bundled up and he just wears a diaper all day. He gets very over heated very quickly.

    Footed sleeper for night and the room is typically in the 50s. Typically she wakes up pissed when she is warm.

    No hotter than 71, no cooler than 68. I put him to sleep in a long sleeved onesie and cotton sleep sack. If it happens to be hotter than 71 I use a short sleeved onesie.

    DD room is set to 70. she is always sleeping in a short sleeve onsie under footed pj's with socks on. And we usually cover her with a light cotton blanket...by morning the blanket is off and she is still sound asleep.

    Anywhere between 69-71 degrees. She sleeps in a footed cotton PJs or a cotton long sleeved sleep dress thing. She also goes into a Love to Dream sleepsack without the arms the last few nights as she's starting to roll in her crib. I usually also drap an A&A blanket over her lower half.

    We keep our home around 64. I have her sleep in a long sleeved sleeper and she likes to cuddle in a blanket. She over heats easy and we learned this is her comfy temp

    We live in a 100 year old house, so we turn the heat to 72-73 and it's still cold and all get out in the upstairs rooms.

    If he is in a sleepsack, he gets a white onesie, socks, sleep sack (and depending on how cold it is, socks on the hands)

    If he is in a fleece sleeper, no socks or onesie because those things are like like incubators. (He might still get socks on the hands though, depending...)

    No matter how cold it is he does not do blankets well - he always kicks them off within 5 minutes of me covering his legs.

    The nurse from our baby class said that the ideal room temperature should be between 68-72 degrees to reduce the risk of SIDS.   We have the thermostat set at night, but our son's room ends up being around 70.  We bought a remote thermometer, the base unit sits in our room and the remote unit is in his room.  MH and I had many arguments over temperature in the first few months and we couldn't figure out what made our DS comfortable.  He sleeps in a cotton footed onesie and fleece sleep sack.
