Miben aludjon a gyermek, ha 24-25 fok van a szobában?

What should your child wear for sleep in a 24–25 degree room?

From early summer, bedrooms can sit around 24 to 25 degrees Celsius, which many families like. This is not especially high and it often rises further in the height of summer. In this guide we share what to dress your baby in, plus key points to watch, so when things change, for example the temperature shifts, your child grows or you bring new pieces into rotation, you can still decide easily what to put on at bedtime.

This temperature range is also what newborn and premature babies need in the first weeks, especially after bath time. Wards for newborns are kept warmer because tiny babies cannot regulate their body temperature as well as older infants. They cannot yet balance environmental effects, so we protect them from cooling with 23 to 25 degrees.

For infants, the most common rule of thumb is to dress them in one more light layer than you would wear yourself to feel comfortable. Treat this as guidance. Certain factors can change what is best.

 

A few essential points about dressing

You can take a child’s temperature under the arm

  • Normal temperature ranges for children up to two years are roughly these: by mouth 35.5–37.5°C, by rectum 36.6–38°C, under the arm 34.7–37.3°C, in the ear 36.4–38°C. This is useful when you check whether baby is too warm or too cool.
  • Newborns and premature babies can overheat or cool down more easily. Low body temperature is hypothermia, high is hyperthermia. The right clothing helps prevent both.
  • Night time room temperature is not always constant. If you do not regulate it, for example with winter heating or summer cooling, evening and early-morning readings may differ, especially in spring and autumn. Our bodies also change temperature overnight. We are cooler in the evening, warmer by morning. Babies have the same rhythm.
  • Any baby can be more prone to the cold or more sweat-prone, so keep that in mind.
  • Children often kick off their blankets at night and cannot pull them back up. A sleeping bag can be a good solution.
  • In our climate the recommended sleep temperature for infants is 20–22°C. Cooler air usually supports more restful sleep.
  • Always base dressing on the temperature of the room where your child sleeps. Readings in other rooms can differ.
  • Think about humidity too. Measure it near the cot. A range of 60–70% helps prevent dry airways and supports the body’s natural defences.
  • Fabric matters. Alongside popular cotton, bamboo fibre is now widely available and has excellent properties for sleepwear.

 

What most often causes problems at night 

The home and bedroom temperature can shift. Depending on your heating or cooling, several degrees of change can happen overnight.
Our body temperature drops as we fall asleep and rises again towards morning.

If humidity changes, the perceived temperature changes too.
Some babies are naturally colder or warmer.
Babies can kick off their blanket and feel chilly. In a 24–25 degree room that is less risky, but the benefits of a sleeping bag are still worth trying.

 

Let’s solve those problems 

Choose clothing that balances fluctuations. The ideal fabric holds warmth when the environment cools and feels cooler when it warms up. It should breathe well, so you can smooth out changes in room and body temperature. Bamboo fibre produces high-quality textiles with exactly these properties.

We often forget to track humidity, yet keeping it in range really helps. For children aim for 60–70%. If it is higher, reduce it to avoid mould and musty smells. If it is lower, humidify with clean water.

Many families use small blankets, many use sleeping bags. A blanket may leave the chest uncovered or get kicked off, so baby can feel cold. Getting up several times to re-cover them also disrupts your sleep. A blanket can also be pulled over the face, which is unsafe.

A well-fitting sleeping bag solves these problems. A good one sits securely under the neck, gives plenty of room for the legs, feels snug and soft. There are toddler sleep bags with legs too. We will show you one shortly.

 

What babywear do we suggest for warmer rooms 

As a basic rule, dress your baby in one layer more than you would wear to feel comfortable. From early summer into autumn, if you do not use air conditioning, rooms can often sit at 24–25 degrees.

A short sleeve bodysuit plus a sleepsuit, with socks, or a 0.5 TOG sleeping bag instead of the sleepsuit, will keep most little ones comfortable for sleep.

For older children, a toddler sleeping bag with legs works brilliantly for bedtime and early-morning pottering. If they can tuck themselves in, a two-piece pyjama is also fine.

Explore LiaaBébé babywear 

With sustainability in mind, and knowing the real-life challenges of dressing and sleep, we designed babywear that makes daily life easier and more comfortable. If you prefer natural, breathable fabrics, you will love our new-generation bamboo fibre pieces.

Tired of dressing battles, sweat, skin flare-ups and broken sleep. Fed up with night time re-covering, fumbling with outfits in low light, or with clothes that stretch out, fade, tear or stiffen after washing.

Choose a quality that frees you from those headaches.

  • Our fabric is soft and extremely stretchy, so you pull the garment around baby rather than forcing tiny hands through tight sleeves. The elasticity will surprise you. Pieces often last longer because they almost grow with your child. It is a joy to see them crawl and toddle freely in unrestrictive outfits.
  • Bamboo wicks moisture well, while its temperature-regulating nature helps prevent sweat in summer and chills in winter. Skin stays drier and calmer, which is ideal for little ones with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
  • The softness is gentle on delicate skin and stays soft wash after wash.
  • If you want babywear that truly lasts, you have found it. LiaaBébé garments keep their quality. They do not bag out, do not fade, and do not go stiff.
  • We also focus on clever cuts. Comfort, easy dressing, and the right warmth are central. Construction and stitching are beautifully finished. We love zips because they make sleepsuits quick to put on, even at night. For sleeping bags, the neckline should sit neatly around the neck for safety, so baby cannot slide down inside. For two-piece pyjamas, a higher waist and longer top help keep little backs covered.
  • Our designs are distinctive, with bright, mix-and-match colours and prints.
  • Prefer sustainable choices. Opt for garments made from fast-growing, responsibly sourced plants.
