Getting the temperature right at bedtime

How to get the temperature right at bedtime

Clothing and bedding are really important. When the room temperature is just right we dress Frank in a bodysuit and also use a sheet and two lightweight blankets. If the room's too cold I use a long-sleeved bodysuit, sheet and three lightweight blankets. When the room's too hot then it's a short-sleeved bodysuit or just a nappy and sheet only.

I'd tell all parents to get a room thermometer for peace of mind. So in a cold snap you'll have the central heating on low overnight and in a heatwave, you may want a fan, well out of reach.
