Monitor says 26degrees in the room tonight...

LO is just in normal PJ's no covers, will pop a very thin cover over him when I go to bed, as the temp drops over the night - window open.

Your LO will be fine in that. dont worry, im sure his toes wont get cold, not in a room thats that warm!!

past 2 nights Alex has been sleeping in just a t-shirt (and nappy obviously). Usually he goes in a sleepsuit but it's way too hot for that at the moment.

Haydens room says 28 but i don't trust that thermometer it always says too warm..
he is just in a nappy with a sheet at the moment, but i'll check him before i go to bed might give him
a thin cellular blanket in case he gets too cold! or put a vest on!

LO is in her short sleeved open toed sleepsuit, no cover.

Window is open so like others I'll check her when I go to bed.

I did have him in just a sleep suit but i changed him into a short sleeved romper suit and he has a light covering. ive shut the window tho cos we are right by a main road and it disturbs him if ambulances go by. but i have my bedroom window, kitchen window and living room window open. dam triple glazing is great for keeping the noise down but a bugger in the summer!!!

A short sleeved romper suit with the window wide open and he is still sweaty in the night.

Why don't you have a fan? it doesn't even have to be on him, just to cool the room down.

We have an air conditioner in the living room and mange to cool Kai's room down quite a bit by positioning the fan in the right place so he has all of the cool air in his room.

a thin sleepsuit and no cover and window open.i will check him later and put a sheet over him if hes cool.

I am going to put my science hat on now. A fan DOES NOT COOL THE ROOM DOWN. All it does is move air around (so it can be useful if positioned near the window to encourage cooler air from outside to come in - this only works if there is a temperature gradient though). In fact a fan is liable to INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE because it consumes electricity and turns it into heat energy. Feel the fan after it's been on 10 minutes - it will be warm.

The reason fans make you FEEL cooler is because they evaporate the moisture off your skin - which is the reason human beings sweat too.

I'm such a geek

We've got the window open and a fan on and it's still too hot in our room at the moment. Also Sophie ends up in our bed half the night having feeds as I tend to drop off so I've been leaving her in just a nappy and putting a doubled up cellular blanket over her in the cot, she tends to kick it off though. On slightly cooler nights I've been putting her in a vest. I check her regularly and she's not cold so this seems to be the best way for us at the moment.
