I've read that the nursery should be kept at around 18 degrees. This sounds very cold to me. When we picked up our daughter from Mother's Choice, the room was a constant 24 degrees. Not sure what is correct, or is there a "happy medium". Any thoughts.

this is the thread that was posted a couple of months ago. It has heaps of information. I personally think 18 is too cold for a baby, and tend to go for around 22 degrees and my baby (now 6 months) wears a long sleeve jumpsuit with a 1.0 tog grobag and sheet over the top. I did put a light waffle blanket over him the other night. But basically your baby should not be too overheated.
We don't use the air con now as it's much cooler, but i still do turn the fan part on low to give that "white noise". He seems to sleep better that way.

I know the experts say 18 degrees, but I think thats way too cold. I would find it really cold in that temperature, let alone a baby. And certainly once they get to toddler age I think it should be warmer, as toddlers are very bad at keeping covers on. 23, 24 sounds much better.

Definitely too cold for a baby since they still can't regulate their own body temp. when too young. 23-24C is what we had when our baby was still young, now we have it around 22-23C and he's 2.6yrs.
