I’m currently overthinking this significantly, I’m sure. My baby’s room temperature shifts every night. It has been starting out HOT and without putting the AC in the window (which I’ll make the spouse do soon), there hasn’t been much I could do about it. Tonight the room temperature was reading 76 degrees. I could leave a window cracked and it’ll drop fast fast and I’ll have to go in and change his clothes. Or (what I did) I leave his door open with and adjacent room window open so he can get some fresh air vicariously and have it drop slowly, so hopefully I don’t have to add a layer until he’s waking for a feed. I have him in a single layer lightweight sleeper right now, but it is long sleeve. Baby struggled to fall asleep, as he still has to cuddle to sleep and that just made him hotter. I had to undo his sleeper and cool him down before he could sleep. But then he’s on his own in the crib without my warmth, so I hope he’s okay? He whined once but didn’t need help resettling. I just don’t understand how we’re supposed to dress baby when the temperature of the room is for sure going to drop over night. I try to follow those charts, it the last one I saw has wildly varying recommendations over a 3 degree difference. Ex. The chart I see now says “over 75 = diaper plus .5 tog sleep sack”, then “75= short sleeve onesie plus .5 tog sack”, then 70-75 is “long sleeve sleeper plus .5 tog sleep sack” (or possibly below 73 could be long sleeve plus 1 tog sack). I’m going crazy and all I can think of right now as I try to fall asleep is “cold babies cry, hot babies die”. Someone please tell me my baby will be fine until he wakes up to feed. I’m spiraling.

We are coming into cooler months now but still warm during the day and cold at night. Our room temp will start at 24 and by the morning the outside temp is 8-9 degrees Celsius. Right now to put the 2.5 tog sleep sack on him I have to turn our AC on to make the room below 20 otherwise it’s too warm for the 2.5 tog… otherwise putting a 1.0 tog and changing him during the night but don’t want to do that. I turn it off once the room is cool enough. currently sitting here at 4am after a dream feed and he’s been waking up what feels every hour fussing … I put the pacifier back in and he goes back to sleep for a bit and does it again. I try to feel his neck and chest and they don’t feel super warm but not stone cold so not sure if he’s warm enough but don’t want to over heat him.. can someone assist with words of advice?
