Baby's room & Heater Q

chayer227

We're thinking ahead to next winter.  The baby's room is a bit chilly (not sure why), and we're conservative with our heat.  Is there any heater that would be safe to have in his room to keep that extra chill out overnight, without having to crank the heat in the entire upstairs (and having us swelter at night in our room)?

What temp do you keep it on overnight in your house?

We used to keep an oil-filled electric radiator in DD's room for nighttime.  We had the house go down to 58 and the radiator would keep her room around 64/65. 

We don't have it in there anymore since she's out of the crib -- she would get up and play with the buttons!  We've adjusted the baseboard radiator in her room so she gets more heat in there and set the thermostat (in our living room) to 60, which keeps her room around the same temp as before.

The boys room has no heat vent so we have a little space heater that we run in their room in the evening when their door is closed and then turn it off when we go to bed, and crack their door, the heat from the space heater stays in and they get a bit of the heat from the rest of the house. But it does get colder in their room over night but we just put them in warm jammies and they have a flannel quilt and they stay pretty warm.  Only once in a while will they wake up early and need to have the heater turned back on.

we keep the upstairs around 50-55.  She sleeps in fleece jamas and has her quilt, plus a fleece tie blanket on her.  The fleece blanket is folded in half so its like two blankets.  Sometimes she sweats! lol...but only once has she woken up because she was cold and that was october/novemberish when the temps started to drop, and that was when we added the fleece blanket.

James' room is the coldest upstairs too.  I think part of it is that our bedroom has 2 adults in it to give off body heat, whereas he's just one little guy.  Plus the room is always kind of colder anyway. 

We just dress him in fleece onesie PJs (with built in feet) and then have flannel sheets and double warm blankets over him.  Sometimes his hands and feet are a little chilly, especially if he's squirmed out of the blankets, but I don't think it's ever woken him up.

We don't have any heat upstairs either, so it does get cold in there with the door closed, because the thermostat is set to 60 overnight in the rest of the house.  He has a small electric space heater in his room.  I set it to 65 and it comes on a few times throughout the night.  I dress him in fleece pajamas, a quilted sleepsack, and then he has blankets.  He stays pretty warm.
