According to
, the chance of SIDS is higher in babies who get too hot, so keeping your baby’s room a comfortable temperature is important.Obviously, every baby is different, and even if you’ve used a room, it’s important to check your baby regularly to ensure they are not too hot. This can be done by simply feeling your baby’s tummy, or the back of their neck, as their hands and feet will often be colder than the rest of their body. If your baby feels hot or sweaty, remove layers.
If you’re worried the temperature in the room is too hot, open a window before putting your baby down to sleep. If you’re using a fan to cool the room, ensure it is not aimed directly on your baby. As time goes on you'll learn your baby well, so it will become easier to check their temperature and know what's normal. Despite feeling cold in the winter, it is rare that you will need to keep your heating on all night, but if you do, ensure it is set to a low temperature no higher than 20°C. It’s often a better idea to add another layer to your baby. Remember, it’s important not to put a hat on your baby indoors as they maintain body temperature by releasing heat.
Another good way to keep an eye on room temperature is to have a baby monitor with a screen - this can also alert you of the room's temperature and for example, in the winter if you've got the heating cranked up too high, you know sooner rather than later when to turn it down. From those that double as nightlights, to dual purpose thermometers that can also be used in the bath, investing in a baby room thermometer can tell you at a glance whether or not a room is safe to sleep in.
