What temperature my newborn can be in?

Question

I’m usually sleeping in an aircond room. My baby is 2 months old now ( 35weeks premature ), what temperature can I set my air conditioner? I usually have my son in long sleeve and long pants and also cover him with a light blanket. But I worry that he’ll be too hot or too cold.

Answer

You can typically keep the temperature wherever is comfortable for you (assuming it’s not an extreme temperature 🙂) and just dress baby accordingly. A good place to start is one layer of clothing more than you would wear in that same temperature, then check the back of their neck and/or the belly to ensure baby is warm enough (but not too warm). It can be dangerous if they’re too hot, but they may sleep poorly or burn excess calories if too cold.
However, I did want to mention that a 2 month old should NEVER have a loose blanket for sleeping as it increases the risk of SIDS. A swaddle or sleepsack would be a much safer option.

Answer

Like a wall/window AC unit? Depends if baby's crib is right next to the unit or the opposite side of the room, plus it depends if your bedroom door will be closed or not. It will be trial and error since those types of AC units dont cool the roon uniformly.

Answer

We keep our room at 70 with a sleeper and swaddle/sleep sack
