[quote=Anonymous]Everything I've read says ideal temp. is 68-72.

We set our thermostat for 71 on the (vain) hopes our house would stay around 71. But we have an old house, w/ radiator heat that is inconsistent, and rooms that have been chopped up/expanded since the radiators were installed almost 100 years ago. So, my 2.5 yo DD's room is usually 66-68 in the winter (she has a larger room in back of house w/ 3 walls exterior exposure, plus a too small radiator) and my 8 mo DS' room is 72-75 (he has the smallest room in the middle of the house w/ only 1 wall w/ exterior exposure, plus a radiator that is too big for his pretty small room). The inconsistency in temp room to room drives me crazy!  But we installed 2 zones, and a new boiler, last year and still have the same issues...I'm coming to learn it's par for the course in a 100 year old house...though also going to try and swap a smaller radiator in his room, as I'd really like to get his temp. down to 70-72 degrees.

As for sleepwear, we put DD in a warm one piece fleece footy PJ. She kicks off her regular sheet and blanket, but will sleep w/ her smaller, warm lovey blanket (3 feet by 3 feet). I may start putting her in 2 pairs of fleece pj's when it gets colder, though, that's a good suggestion from PPs given that her room is the coldest. My DS sleeps in cotton PJ's, just one layer, no sleep sack, given that he has a very warm room.[/quote]
