Have you ever looked up the ideal temperature for babies? I immediately assumed babies would love it warmer in the house.
- I mean they are in a woman’s belly for 9 weeks; Seems love it would be pretty tepid there.
I also don’t think a baby could actually work up a sweat and get their body sizzling naturally. So I thought for sure heating would be a priority when my son was born, then well the ideal temperature range for a baby is 76-75 degrees, and they obviously love it cooler, however my husband and I keep our thermostat set at 73 degrees. I actually love to have quality heating during the wintertime. With our newborn son every one of us have needed to sacrifice comfort for a bit. I have lowered the whole loft thermostat to 75 degrees. I dress my son in lightweight fabrics and no long sleeves. I also purchased a mini split system, then now the doctorry has jammed off air duct and a separate indoor air handler and thermostat. So I can have his room a little cooler and not affect the rest of the house. I can’t think babies need this amount of frosty air. In the summer time I think it is going to be certainly rough with the AC… Our loft has trouble maintaining 73 degrees in the heat. Now imagine keeping it 2 degrees lower. My energy costs are going to be out of this world. I don’t want my son to get hot in his crib though. So I will pay extra for more AC.
