What is a Good Temperature for a Baby Room?

It is easy to understand that newborn babies usually have relatively higher temperature and humidity requirements than adults. The ideal temperature for baby's room should be 73.4°F-78.8°F (23°C - 26°C) in Summer and 66°F-70°F (19°C - 21°C) in Winter.

Seasonal Temperature Guidelines

Summer Temperature

During warmer months, maintain your baby's room between 73.4°F and 78.8°F (23°C - 26°C). This range helps prevent overheating while keeping your baby comfortable.

Winter Temperature

In colder months, keep the room between 66°F and 70°F (19°C - 21°C). This temperature range is warm enough to keep baby cozy without being too hot.

Spring and Autumn

There is no need to adjust the infant room temperature in spring or autumn. The natural average temperature is almost right for your baby's comfort.

Tips for Maintaining Ideal Temperature

  • Use a reliable room thermometer
  • Dress your baby appropriately for the temperature
  • Avoid overdressing or over-bundling
  • Check your baby's neck or back to ensure they're not too hot or cold
  • Keep the room well-ventilated

Remember, every baby is different, so pay attention to your baby's cues and adjust accordingly.
