Baby's bedroom and temperature

© Jacadi

Keep a check on the temperature in your child's bedroom. It should be equal to or less than 19°C. If it's too hot, body temperature increases, which can be dangerous for babies.

Ideally, place a thermometer in the bedroom to check the temperature because you'll see that 19°C is actually not a lot!

Some baby monitors have a room temperature display.
