A room which is between 20℃ and 22℃ has proven to be the safest temperature and assists with keeping your baby’s body temperature within the WHO recommended range of 36.5℃ to 37.5℃. Babies regulate their body temperature through their heads which means that they are at a higher risk of overheating as well as losing body heat too fast and becoming too cold. This is because their heads are much larger in proportion to their body leaving a larger surface area exposed. By checking that your baby’s room temperature is comfortable, you reduce the risk of them overheating or becoming too cold.
