You check the nursery temperature. Then you check your baby. Then you wonder if you’ve got it right. ❤️

Too hot? Too cold? Another layer? Less bedding? Heater on? Air conditioning off?

For new parents especially, keeping a baby comfortable at night can feel like a constant guessing game.

But here’s something reassuring: there isn’t one perfect room temperature every baby needs.

What matters is understanding how to recognise when your baby is too hot or too cold, what they wear to bed, how the room behaves overnight, and how things like sunlight, insulation, airflow, heating and air conditioning can all affect their comfort.

And if you’re planning a nursery, there’s more to think about than where the cot looks best.

🌙 Because the most beautiful nursery in the world means very little if your baby can’t sleep comfortably in it.

Our latest guide looks at the Australian evidence behind nursery temperature, safe sleep and thermal comfort, with practical advice for creating a room that works through Australia’s changing seasons, from those scorching summer nights to chilly winter mornings.

Before you turn the thermostat up or reach for another blanket, this is worth a read. ❤️
