Summer and winter babies: how to dress them to sleep at night?
Summer baby sleepwear
In summer, avoid dressing your baby too warmly at night. When your child's bedroom is at 24°, your baby will wear a short sleeve bodysuit and a lightweight sleeping bag. Above 26°, it is recommended to let him sleep in a short sleeve bodysuit, without a sleeping bag. After 27°, just keep his diaper on.
In the event of a heatwave and overheating in the baby's room, we are tempted to use air conditioning or a fan. What about it? Fans can be used to circulate air around the room and help create a fresh feeling. However, be careful not to direct the air onto your baby or to have too much ventilation. Likewise for air conditioning, you don't direct the air directly onto your child. You can keep the room temperature between 24° and 25°.
Winter baby sleepwear
Now let's move on to the fall and winter frosts. When it's cold and the baby's room temperature drops below 18°, dress your baby up in a long-sleeved bodysuit, pajamas, and a thick sleeping bag. From 16° to 17°, add a pair of socks. At less than 16°, you can add a hat and mittens!
How do I know if my baby is too hot or too cold?
The better you know your baby, the more you will notice if he is at the right temperature. Follow these signs: red cheeks, a small drop of runny perspiration... So he's too hot! Babies also express themselves when they are feeling unwell. If he cries, there is a feeling wrong. You can also touch his neck, which works a bit like a thermometer. If your baby is cold, it is not recommended to put an extra blanket on top of it. Choose an extra layer of clothing, a hat or a thicker sleeping bag. To freshen him up, take off a layer of clothing.
When it comes to baby bed linen, choose cotton sheets. This breathable material allows your baby to stay cool while absorbing perspiration in summer and winter. We have a very nice range of small cotton fitted sheets, perfect to match our baby furniture.
