Sleeping overnight with heater on for baby?

Question

Just wondering how many people sleep with their ducted heating on overnight? I heard everyone in my mothers group talking about it the other day and I had no idea what they were talking about at first because I have never left the heating on overnight. It never really crossed my mind. My baby girl is 5 months old and always dressed warm with sleeping bag and blankets etc. Is there really a need to leave the heating on? I guess I never thought about it as I dont think my mum ever left any heating on overnight for me. Is it a bad thing not to leave it on. She is warm in the morning other than her fingers that she chews on all night!! Very curious please.

Answer 1

You must be in the southern hemisphere ?  It's summer in the northern.  No, there's no need to leave the heating on.  

Answer 2

well for me it depended on the weather ...if it was a particularly cold night i might turn it up just a wee bit but i usually kept it at around 74-76 and found that it was just fine...i noticed my son is alot like me he has trouble sleeping if its too hot...so i guess it depends on the child if your daughter seems fine then its ok
