minivini2b- I use an oil heater (like a radiator) and just bought a timer switch for it. I have it set quite low so it's not actually heating the room as much as it is taking the chill out. Comes on at midnight and off at 7. I found the hardest thing dressing for bedtime and the morning. Like you say, it can be 19 when I put her down and 8 in the morning.
