keeping babys room cool during summer

[MrsK739]

I've just bought a new monitor that shows my sons room temperature and it's at 25/26 degrees. I only noticed because the thing started beeping at me!
What temp should his room be? And how can I cool it down? I've got our split systems on low but it doesn't seem to be cooling his room down...
I don't want him to overheat or freeze - poor little munchkin...

I'm not sure, I think thats prolly our rooms too in summer. Our upstairs is terrible, on hot days it gets up to 39 degrees up there and we have those portable air cons in there rooms which helps but seeing how hot it begins with i dont think they're powerful enough to get it too low.
I just cover them up with a sheet so to not get a chill from the air con and not too hot.

I like to keep Moo's room at about 19 degrees. If it gets to 20 I'll put the fan on. Not point it directly at him, but in the middle facing away so the cool air kinda blows around the room ITMS.

My Dd's room is that temp right now but we have the vaporiser on which I think makes the thermometer a bit hotter. She's wearing a singlet and a wondersuit as well and has 1 blanket on. My DD prefers to be a bit warmer, I was pretty hesitant because I read that the recommended room temp is 18 degrees!! We generally keep it around 22 - 23 with the same clothes on and a couple of light blankets and she sleeps perfectly and doesn't stir all night.

We set our air cons on 25 which is perfect in summer. Anything above that is just way too hot. So the a/c isn't cooling down when you change the temp? Maybe get it looked at.

I think around the 24 is ok. There is a "perfect" suggested temp but can't think what it is right now. I find the 24 ok though cos otherwise it's too chilly IMO. If it's really hot I leave the a/c on but if it's not I turn it on to cool the room then just leave the ceiling fan on all night. Oskar just sleeps in pj's uncovered cos he kicks the covers off but Elijah still has a grobag on and depending on the temp to which one I use.
