My baby is 4 months old. We usually sleep in footed sleepers or sleep sacks. I keep my home at 70 degrees. She seems hot sometimes at night but I feel like I need to have her feet and legs covered. What do you do?

At 4 months we just did the footed sleepers. We still do them now, but we use the thicker soft ones as she moves around a lot. If she seems hot you could buy the thinner sleepers.

I think there’s a big difference in that material the sleeper is made out of. One night I had to change my son’s pjs in the middle of the night because he was fussy and sweating in a fleece sleeper. So now, since we do keep his room nice and warm, I make sure that he goes to bed in something made of terry or thick cotton but not thick and fleecy.

We do the footed sleepers too. I also got him a flannel crib sheet that seems softer and stays warmer in the winter.

my son is 4 months old as well and he always sleeps in footed sleepers. i used to think it was too cold for him at 70 so id put socks on as well. he would be restless some nights, so i took the socks off and he was fine. i think you should continue to use what your using or maybe turn it down a degree or 2. now we keep the house at 68 and i find he sleeps and breathes better.

we keep our home fairly warm so my daughter sleeps in thinner cotton sleepers and has done well with that. Being in Texas, it isn’t super cold anyway! We do have flannel sheets on her bed as well.

It all depends, my daughter is 7 months and usually put her in the footed ones from carters that are thick. we also keep our house at 70 and nome nights she gets hot and some she is cold. if we know its going to be hot we put her in a short sleve onie and footed PJ pants.

We do the footed sleepers as well. Sometimes, I have my daughter in fleece or terrycloth but only when it’s particularly cold. If you were worried about covering your baby, you could try a footless pajama. You could also try a small fan in the room or a cool mist humidifier.

She most likely is hot… 70 degrees is a little high with having sleepers and most likely a blanket as well! Drs say babys sleep most confortable when treated just like adults so turn your thermo down to 60 or 65 when you go to bed and keep her in a sleeper and cover her with a blanket! 70 degrees is a bit much, I don’t know how you get any sleep!

i would turn the heater down to 65 and just keep dressing her warm. it may be too warm and could cause stuffy noses.

Lilah is 6 months old and ever since she was about 2 months we have done a footed sleeper and a light halo sleep sack. I also keep my house at about 70-72. She seems very comfortable. =)
