It's important to keep your baby warm, but not too warm, at night to ensure they are comfortable and safe. Here are a few tips to help keep your baby warm:
1) Dress your baby in appropriate clothing: Use a onesie or sleep sack as the base layer, and then add layers on top as needed. Keep in mind that babies lose heat quickly, so it's better to dress them in one more layer than you would wear.
2) Use a room thermometer: Keep the room temperature between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit (20-22 degrees Celsius) to ensure the baby is comfortable.
3) Use a wearable blanket or sleep sack: Sleeping bags are designed to provide warmth and comfort for babies without the need for additional blankets or covers, which can increase the risk of suffocation or overheating.
4) Monitor your baby's temperature: Check your baby's chest and stomach to see if they feel warm or cool to the touch. A baby's feet and hands may feel cool, but this is normal, as long as their chest and stomach feel warm.
5) Avoid overheating: Overheating can be dangerous for babies, so it's important to avoid heavy clothing, blankets, or high room temperatures that can make your baby too warm.
6) Consult a pediatrician: If your baby is consistently cold at night, it's best to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
