baby questions
what do you mamas keep your house temperature at both during the day and at night? and
what kind of sleeper/blanket do you use?
asher is usually a hot blooded little boy, but lately at night, he wakes up cold. i've been putting him in a fleece sleeper with a fleece blanket sack on top and a fleece hat to sleep in...i'm starting to wonder if our house is too cold. we keep the heat at 64. is that too cold? i can't find any info online about it.
thanks mamas!

I found this little tidbit at about.com
----In general, most experts recommend that you:
* keep your home at a 'comfortable' temperature of between 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit
* don't over-bundle your baby, but instead consider dressing them with one extra layer than you are wearing yourself and then make sure that your baby doesn't seem overheated
The 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit temperature is likely more for the wintertime when you have the heat on, as that would typically be a little cold in the summer when you have the air-conditioner on. A temperature of 75 to 78 would be more sensible in the summer and more environmentally friendly.
Keep in mind that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that 'the infant should be lightly clothed for sleep, and the bedroom temperature should be kept comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. Over-bundling should be avoided, and the infant should not feel hot to the touch.'1
