What should we dress a child in to sleep in a 23 degree room?
We always want our baby to be healthy, happy, and rested. To do this, we know that we need to provide them with quality sleep that gives them peace of mind and after which they wake up cheerful.
Good sleep is not only necessary for a happy mood, but also for the proper development of the baby. That's why it's good to really prioritize optimizing sleep factors, from preparations to the right environment, everything we can influence.
One of the most important things to consider is what clothes to put your baby in when you put him to sleep. To make the right decision, you need to consider the existing conditions and those that you can change if necessary.
What temperature will your child sleep in? Can this temperature be maintained throughout the night, or will it cool down by dawn, for example? How old is your child? Is he/she a newborn, an infant, or a few years old? Is he/she more of a cold-hearted type, or does he/she warm up quickly?
To make it easier to plan and dream about little clothes, at the end of our article we will also provide specific ideas from LiaaBébé's beautiful dresses. We will also describe why baby clothes made of bamboo fiber are such a good choice.
Is a room temperature of 23 degrees appropriate?
The optimal temperature for sleeping for babies – and adults, for that matter – is 20-22 degrees. If we deviate from this by 1 degree, it is not a problem, this also happens in the summer, and there can be fundamental temperature fluctuations in the apartment.
If you have a newborn or premature baby, you should increase the temperature slightly to 22-24 degrees Celsius. They are not yet able to properly regulate their body temperature and cannot properly compensate for environmental influences.
Always measure the temperature in the room where your baby sleeps, as the results may vary in different parts of the home. The best way to see the real temperature is to measure next to the crib.

Dressing newborns for sleep
To prevent their bodies from cooling down or overheating, or possibly developing a fever, they need to be dressed consciously. In general, it can be said that it is necessary to add an extra layer, not too thick, to the clothing of babies who are a few months old.
We also recommend that you check your baby's neck from time to time to see if he is sweating or if there are any small rashes on his skin, which indicate that he is hot. You can also feel his body with this test to see if he is cold. If he is, then he is cold.
With these checks, you can always keep him safe and react quickly if something needs to be changed.
What should we do if the evening temperature drops to 23 degrees Celsius in the morning?
When the daytime temperature is high and it cools down significantly by dawn, we can try to achieve a more or less constant temperature with certain methods. If we ventilate the room well before putting the baby to bed in the evening and let it cool down, there will not be such a big temperature difference in the morning. But we can also prepare a spare set of clothes for the night, for example a sleeping bag, which we put on at night after breastfeeding or changing diapers.
Nighttime temperature changes can also occur in autumn or spring when there is no heating, the weather outside is changeable, and the daily temperature fluctuations are large.
What baby clothes do we recommend for temperatures of 23 degrees?
We had a whole article about what to put on your baby to sleep in . We highly recommend reading it because it contains basic information that will help you determine what to put on your baby in every situation.
Now we have come to the most exciting part of our article, where we will present you with examples of clothes for sleeping in a room with a temperature of 23 degrees. Since people – especially us women – like to visualize beautiful baby clothes, you can immediately check out our suggestions.
LiaaBébé recommends wearing a bodysuit and sleeping bag for your baby in a room with a temperature of 23 degrees, or, for an extra layer - for example, for a newborn - a bodysuit and overalls, supplemented with a sleeping bag.
Comfortable bodysuit for diapers
Depending on your needs, you can choose a short or long-sleeved bodysuit for your child in very beautiful cheerful colors, with cute patterns, made of extra flexible bamboo fiber material. These clothes are very pretty because they fit the body and retain their shape, color, and softness even when worn. Even babies love them because they can wear bright colors with a unique, tasteful pattern. The bodysuits are available up to size 98.
Jumpsuit that's easy to move around in
Jumpsuits are extremely comfortable. They are the best choice for little ones to sleep in. Click on the link to see what special, unusual colors you can choose from. French blue and marigold yellow are very popular shades, but chili red is also beautiful.
All our jumpsuits have a zipper , making them very easy to put on, which is not the least of the considerations, for example, in the twilight of the night or when dressing a lively baby who is about to leave. Our jumpsuits are available up to size 110.
Sleeping bag for pleasant warmth
And now we come to sleeping bags . It's a good choice instead of a blanket because your baby won't kick it off and can't pull it over their face at night. Its neckline adapts to your baby's body, so it can be worn safely, and its bag is spacious enough to nestle in. We thought it was important that they be easy to remove for diapering, so they have a zipper on the side that can be pulled all the way down to the bottom. This makes dressing really fast! You can choose from our baby sleeping bags up to sizes 74/80.
If you like matching color schemes, you can combine bodysuits, jumpsuits, and sleeping bags with each other, so your child will not only be dressed comfortably, but will also be truly fashionable.
What thickness of sleeping bag will be suitable?
Do you know the TOG unit of measurement ? This helps us choose the thickness of the sleeping bag for our baby that will be most ideal for a given temperature.
We recommend sleeping bags with a thickness of 0.5 and a maximum of 1-1.5 TOG for temperatures of 23 degrees. Our 0.5 sleeping bags are made of 2 layers of soft bamboo, so they are comfortable but thin enough.
What can older children wear to sleep in a 23 degree room?
They can now wear toddler sleeping bags . They are made with the same design and color selection as the sleeping bags for younger children, and are available up to size 98. And older children can also choose pajamas , up to size 122.
Why is bamboo fiber material the best choice?
If you've always liked cotton clothes, try bamboo! You'll have a positive opinion of it even if you didn't have any information about this textile before.
If we were to approach bamboo as a baby clothing material from a temperature perspective, the most important thing we would highlight would be its ability to regulate heat . It cools the baby in winter, so it doesn't get too hot, and warms it in summer, so it doesn't get cold.
It is also important that it absorbs moisture very well , so the baby's skin does not get dry, stays dry, does not get rashes, does not rub, and is well ventilated. If your child has skin allergies or eczema, we highly recommend it.
If we pay attention to dressing our baby for sleep, our nights will pass without any problems, and in the morning we will find a smiling baby in the crib.
