One thing that causes a baby to overheat ina sleepsack is overdressing.

You may be tempted to add more clothing under the sleepsack especially when it is chilly. But, before doing this, consider the 3 factors we have discussed above; the temperature in the nursery, TOG of the sleepsack, and the material. These factors will help you choose suitable clothing for your baby.

3.Are weighted sleep sackssafe for babies

Sleep sacks are generally considered a safer option than blankets. However, not all weighted sleep sacks are safe.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends parents to use only approved sleepsacks such as the Nested Bean, which is considered safe for babies.

4.How to dress baby for sleep in 70 degree room (21 degrees Celsius)

Temperature between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit is considered safe for the baby to prevent the risk of SIDS according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Thus, 70 degrees is considered to be room temperature. This may be a little cold for your baby and therefore you may need to add a few layers of clothing under the sleepsack.

Ideally, dress the baby in a short-sleeved onesie, a footless romper, and a sleep sackto ensure they are warm and cozy through the night.

5.How to dress baby ina sleepsack at 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius)

In summer, the temperature may go over 75 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a bit too hot. Therefore, you need to ensure that your baby is not overdressed as this may lead to overheating.

Appropriate clothing for baby at this temperature would be a short-sleeved onesie under a sleepsack.

Another tip that parents use to determine how to dress a baby is to add one more layer of clothing than you are wearing in the same environment.
