27c bedroom - will baby be ok in this?

FTM here and my baby is 3 months old. Our bedroom is 27c in this awful heatwave, I currently have him in his nappy and 0.5 tog sleep bag (one of the transitional ones with arms) - will he be ok in this? I’ve unzipped the sleeping bag and he has an oscillating fan on which is reaching his next to me every so often

I’d say that’s okay. Our room is the same temp, we had a fan on circling the room and he’s in a vest only. Just check his back or chest now and again for clamminess! Xx

Bedroom is 26c for us, and LO is only in her shortsleeve suit. She is suffering from eczema too, so took the sleep sack off and she’s much more comfortable.

I think your LO should be fine. I would just be careful with the fan reaching his next to me. But again, your baby will let you know if they’re too cold or warm.

He should be ok, maybe expect a bit more fussiness. My 16 month old is in just a nappy in his room with a fan. Its very worrying especially when they’re so young but sounds like you’re doing everything right xx

Personally doing no sleeping bag and just nappy but we co sleep so I'm always cautious of sharing my body heat. We also have a fan in the room.

My 4 month old is in a nappy and 0.2 tog bag and we have a fan in the other corner of the room to try and cool the room down (not directly on him) and I plan to just keep feeling his chest and back throughout the night to make sure he isn’t too hot x

My little boy is 3 months and in a nappy and 0.5 tog and our room is 26 but we have aircon so should cool down over night, I end up putting him in a warmer tog when he wakes about 3am , I’m sure he’ll be fine as the guidelines say that’s plenty but if you need to take the sack off then a nappy will be fine too if it goes higher than 27 x

Cold milk in heatwave

I'm exclusively pumping and feeding my 11 week old via bottle. I'm wondering whether to heat up his milk before every feed, or in this heatwave I should keep it slightly cooler?

Bed time in this heatwave

So my little girl usually has her regular naps during the day she only had 20 minutes for her second one and now she’s absolutly exhausted at 5:30. Trying to keep her awake is proving difficult and she’s becoming agitated because she’s tired. I’m worried if I let her sleep too early she’s going to be up during the night? Any suggestions? Her wake window had now passed 4 hours

Some days you just can’t win 🥴
Tell me some reasons your toddlers had a tantrum so I feel better about cutting her banana up wrong 😅

Child’s farm vs aveeno vs supermarket body wash and shampoo

I’m looking at baby shampoo, body wash, moisturisers etc.

I love aveeno for myself and see they do a baby range, is it any good?

I’ve also got a 20% discount for child’s farm, is it any good?

Or is Aldi/tesco/asda etc just as suitable for a newborn?

Please help a clueless first time mum!

8 week jabs

My son is due his 8 week jabs tomorrow and it’s meant to be 34 degrees here 😣 I’m so worried about him being hot anyway then not being well with his jabs. Is it best to reschedule them?

How do I end contact naps (not altogether) But at least one transfer to the moses throughout the day!? Need help!

As much as I love comforting my baby girl, she will only nap if she's being held (contact naps) all day, every day. But then night time, she will be transferred to her crib and will sleep through the night.. It really does baffle me!!

Has anyone managed to gently transition their little one to more independent sleep? I can’t get nothing done throughout each day, even the smallest of things! As much as I love bonding through contact naps, one transfer would be so good too!

Would love tips or encouragement from anyone who’s been through this! I feel like I’ve tried about everything, dark room, deep sleep, in the pram.. you’ll probably name it and I’ve tried it 😪…

I don’t want to be made to feel guilty for wanting some time without LO on my chest, I feel people that’ll say ‘enjoy it’ When experiencing it, it can be very tough, lonely and sometimes frustrating!
Of course I enjoy it and of course I will miss it when they no longer happen!!
