this is the bedding i bought

so in a room the right temperature for my baby (i have room thermometer which tell mes right temp) how much do i need on baby?

1 blanket and 1 quilt and her in sleepsuit?

Answer 1

1 blanket you wil suffacate the baby if you put about 5!! lol your worrying too much if you give them a bath last thing in the night and pjs then 1 blanket they'll sleep like a baby.

wait he/she is one!!

Answer 2

My house is the same temp as yours, and my boy sleeps in a sleeper with a semi thick blanket. My son is like his mom and is always cold in the hands and feet so that keeps him warm enough that he'll sleep through the night.

Answer 3

babies dont need blankets, they might suffocate. a warm sleeper and swaddle her tightly

Answer 4

I wouldn't bundle her up like she's in the Arctic. The baby won't freeze to death. Make sure you stick your finger under the collar of her neck to make sure she's not TOO hot  (and 18-20 is pretty warm already).............I just put mine in a sleeper - wrapped in a light receiving blanket and put a blanket over.

I also checked on them 24/7 LOL

Answer 5

Just one blanket should be sufficient.  You don't want to over heat her.  If she still feels cool to the touch after one blanket then try adding another light weight one.  The more bedding you add, the higher risk of SIDS or suffocation.  I have three kids and my youngest is 8 weeks old, and we put him in a sleeper and use one light weight blanket.  We usually save the heavier ones for when the babies are about a year old or so.
