[Wonky]

I never knew there was a reccommended room temperature for babies. It's 26 degrees in the room now she napping in Ijust figure take off layers if its warmer, and open windows, put on fans etc

Yep I figure in a WA summer I'm going to be battling to keep her room as cool as the low 20's, I'm happy if I can keep it round 25/26 and dress accordingly. Short of putting refridgerated air con in her room (we have evap) I won't be able to keep it down, and I don't particularly want her to sleep in a cool room then come out in to a hotter house, that makes me all funky in summer so I wouldn't want to do it to her. Hope that makes sense!

I have never worried about the exact temp in the boys' rooms. It is probably low 20s at night but summer days it would definitely be hotter than that. We don't have aircon, just ceiling fans, and I have no intention of getting air con. I just keep them dressed in a similar fashion to what keeps me comfortable when it is hot and have the fans on the speed I need them and they have always been fine.

This is from the Ergon Energy website:

The most comfortable and energy-efficient temperature setting for summer air conditioning is 25°C. Dropping a degree or two could turn up the heat on your power bill.

We do the same. Children survive in warm climates all around the world. We don't have air-con or a thermometer in the bedroom. We just strip off layers, use fans,open windows and close the curtains plus outside blinds when it gets hot.
