It’s hard to know how warm or cool to keep a bedroom while your child sleeps. When DD first came home from the hospital, I tried to swaddle and wrap her up, and put the heat on as warm as I thought was reasonable. Some mornings she would wake up with icicle hands and feet, while others they were clammy. It was really hard to know where the temperature really was, and what was acceptable for a baby.
Thankfully, there is a gadget that could have saved me all the stress of keeping DD warm or cool enough to sleep. Grobag makes a neat little egg that not only digitally displays the temperature, but also uses visual cues as well. The Grobag egg has made nap and night time so much easier for all of us. The Grobag changes 4 different colours. Blue means too hot, yellow is the optimal level, orange is a little bit warm, and red is way too hot. It is so easy to take a peek in her room and just look at the Grobag egg colour to make sure that the room is at the right temperature. According to the Grobag instructions, the baby’s room should be at 61 – 67 degrees Fahrenheit (16 – 19 Celsius for my Canadian Readers). I find the lower levels a little bit too cool for DD as she will wake up with cold hands, but at 67 she is fine when she wakes up in the morning. The Grobag egg usually fluctuates from 67 – 71 degrees Fahrenheit during the evenings. I know that these are reasonable temperatures for her to sleep in. The only thing that the Grobag egg is missing is the ability to change the temperature to Celcius.
Grobag also makes baby sleeping bags and swaddling blankets for babies and toddlers. These are also a very easy way to make sure your children stay nice and warm during those cool evenings. Blankets are not suggested for babies when they sleep so a baby sleeping bag is way safer than a blanket.

I’d rather be too cold than too hot. I can’t sleep when I’m too hot.
I learned that the grobag® egg™ glows yellow if the room temperature is within recommended guidelines (61-67°F). If the room temperature is outside this range, the grobag® egg™ acts as a visual reminder for you to take action to cool or heat the room, or to adjust the baby’s bedding or clothing.
I would rather be to cold!
