Baby · indoors & room temperature

How should I dress my baby indoors?

Indoors, the actual room temperature matters more than the weather outside. This guide is for awake time; sleepwear and TOG are handled separately.

Set the room temperature and show the recommendation.
Quick answer

Indoor starting point

Wear

  • Light comfortable base layer for the room temperature
  • Keep normal movement easy

Keep nearby

  • One thin extra layer nearby instead of dressing too warmly

Check

  • Neck / upper back
  • Recheck the room temperature later
Why this starting point

In a normally heated room, light close-fitting layers that are easy to adjust are usually a sensible first choice. Check the neck or upper back rather than hands and feet alone, and remove a layer if your baby becomes clearly hot or sweaty.

What can change the answer?

  • This page is for awake indoor time, not sleeping-bag selection.
  • Direct sun through a window can make one part of a room much warmer.
  • For sleep, use the TOG calculator and the sleeping-bag manufacturer’s guidance.
