Safer Sleep Guidance for Babies During Hot Weather

Families have fed back to The Lullaby Trust that sometimes, in particularly hot weather, they struggle to maintain the recommended temperature of 16-20°C for the room their baby sleeps in. This can be frustrating. Here are some things you might like to try. Continue following all of The Lullaby Trust's safer sleep guidance for peace of mind.

● Use lighter bedding and clothing, with fewer layers. In really hot weather it's fine to have your baby in just a nappy.
● Open the bedroom door and a window if it's safe to do so, to allow the air to flow.
● Check baby sleep bag guidance for which tog to use for the room temperature.
● Use a fan to cool the room, but don't aim it directly towards the baby.
● Keep curtains closed in the daytime so the room doesn't heat up as much.
