70 degrees, but it's much hotter upstairs than downstairs(townhouse).

My kid runs hot and would wake up a sweaty mess in a fleece zip-up. Cotton pants and long sleeve shirt - house set at 66 at night.

I cannot imagine sleeping in a fleece anything. I will be too uncomfortable and the static electricity will not be fun. So, maybe your toddler also feels the same?

I agree with PP. Cotton pants and long sleeve tops. You can also cover his feet in a comfortable loose cotton socks.

A temp of 68 at night sounds good. I would recommend using a humidifier in the room to make it more comfortable and less cold.

Static electricity is from too low of humidity, not the fleece.

Same. Our thermostat is set to 68 but my kids' bedroom gets up to 72 even with the vent mostly shut.

Lol, my 14mo gets cold so easily. If it's going to get under 66 in his room (and sometimes even in the 66-67 range), he needs TWO fleece sleep sacks over his fleece PJs with a cotton onesie underneath. It's nuts and I sometimes worry about him overheating, but he loves to be cozy and warm. His big sister never needed that much--and even now is perfectly happy in shorts/t-shirt under one or two fleece blankets in her bed. Totally depends on the kidl

Exactly this.

How do you all know if the baby is cold or hot in the middle of the night? dd sleeps through the night so i don't go in her room after she goes to bed. She's warm when I wake her but I was wondering this. Her hands were a little blue this morning and I wondered if she was cold or just coincidence.

We double up on fleece onies too. I can't find a good sleep sack for him now that he's no longer a baby. Sometimes I will put a long-sleeve shirt + fleece footie pj. Depends how cold it is. His room gets cold. Apparently, there's only 1 vent in the room. The second vent is capped.

We had this problem until I bought a Grobag sleep sack (it's warm, like a comforter). My almost 3 year old still wears it at night.

I'm the PP with the perpetually cold 14mo above. We know because he wakes up crying and won't go back to sleep for more than a few minutes until we finally try adding another fleece sleep sack. If your baby is sleeping fine, then I wouldn't worry about it.

This. Our rowhouse is set to 72 and it's 68 downstairs and 78 upstairs with the ceiling fans running. The heat doesn't bother my 1 year old and she's old enough that I'm not concerned about the safety issue, so she goes in anything from a long sleeved onesie to fleece footie pajamas. If she woke up sweaty, I would ditch the fleece, but the heavier layer is nice if she is hanging out downstairs in her pajamas before bed.
