My 3 month old kicks the covers off of her at night and we keep our house pretty cool, do you think she's ok?

Answer 1

She's probably fine otherwise she would wake up crying out. We too keep our house cool at night so I put my kids in blanket sleepers (the jammies with the feet) ans on really cold nights I put thermals under the blanket sleeper. My 3 year old used to kick the covers off too!! Good luck!

Answer 2

children that youthful opt to be dressed appropriately so that they don't desire covers. Having some thing except the baby interior the crib is a said SIDS/suffocation risk. it isn't likely that he's kicking off the covers because he's warm... children only bypass, and it really is probable unintended. gown your infant warmly so as that he doesn't want the blanket, and take it out of there. children do no longer want some thing of their cribs (which includes toys, pillows, blankets) till they're in a position to untangle themselves in the journey that they get a blanket wrapped round them.

Answer 3

She may be fine in terms of temperature -- it's hard to say without knowing how cool her room is, what she is sleeping in, whether she runs hot/cold, etc.

However, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other professionals, urge parents not to use blankets for their infants. No blankets in the crib...no pillows in the crib....nothing soft that could post a danger (suffocation risk) to a baby. That recommendation is also included in the most recent (amended as of December 2005) SIDS recommendations.

If you do no swaddle your baby, try having your baby sleep in a "sleep sack" -- they are designed to be worn over the baby's pajamas and function, essentially, as a non-removable blanket. They zip closed in the front (they zip down, so you don't have to worry about the metal being loose near your baby's face, and also so that you don't have to open the entire apparatus to change a diaper). The best kind, in my opinion, are sleeveless, as that design minimizes the chance of a baby overheating -- and overheating is also considered to be a risk factor for SIDS. The sleep sacks come in cotton and also in fleece, for those colder nights.

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Babies, like older people, move around in their sleep and kick off blankets. My older daughter never stayed covered, so I stopped worrying. I agree with the others who suggested the blanket sleepers. They're great! Both of my daughters wore them until they were 6 or so. If you keep your home cool, your child will adjust and be just as comfortable as you. Don't put a space heater in your baby's room!!!!!

Answer 5

My daughter is five and has done the same thing for years. We keep it cool in our house to. Just make sure that the baby is dressed in a warm sleeper. As the grow older do pajamas and socks. You would be surprised on how warm they stay with socks on. It helps.

Answer 6

My daughter did that. At first it really bothered me. Then I noticed she was sweating a lot in the middle of the night. I still allow her to sleep with me and she's 9 months. So periodically I will roll over and feel if she's cold if she is I cover her back up if not I don't. It's hard. Have you noticed if she's uncomfortable? If you don't want to let her sleep without one put her in one of those sleeper "potato" sacks. They are usually made of fleece and seem warm if not hot to me.

Answer 7

That's probably not good. They say to keep a baby in one layer more than you would wear. Go buy one of those blanket sleepers that zips up the front.

Answer 8

All you need to do is dress her more warmly at night. Also, you could put a little space heater in her room only, and keep it on low so she doesn't get too stuffy! She'll be fine though

Answer 9

babies hold temp dress her warmly at night. a little advice stop putting covers on her she's getting older and she is becoming more active you wouldnt want her to suffocate. they suggest to dress a baby warmly without covers because it may be associated with sids.

Answer 10

don't worry she's OK, this is a sign for energy and health.
