Baby’s room temperature

A baby’s room temperature of 65 to 68 degrees for eating and playing is right for babies weighing over five pounds, just as it is older children and adults.

Smaller babies have a harder time controlling their body temperature and may therefore need to be kept warmer and dressed in extra layers.

This helps in maintaining the baby’s room temperature to some extent. Very small babies control their body temperature best when they are held in contact with a parent.

Avoid the cold or hot drafts from an air conditioner or heat vent as they don’t help much to maintain the baby’s room temperature.

In cold weather, the air outside contains very little moisture. When this air is heated in a house it acts like a dry sponge, sucking up moisture from the skin and nose.

Dried mucus makes it hard for babies to breathe and may lower their resistance to infections.

Any source of moisture can help: house plants, pans of water on the radiators, or humidifiers. The warmer the baby’s room temperature, the more drying the air becomes.

The problem of providing sufficiently cool air for a baby is further complicated by the inexperienced parents’ natural anxiety and protectiveness.

They tend to keep their baby too well covered in a room that is too hot.

Under these conditions some babies develop heat rash even in winter. Overheating also increases the risk of crib death.

An optimal baby’s room temperature should be maintained and when this is achieved, no extra coverings are required for the baby.
