Room temperature directly affects your baby’s sleep cycles, breathing comfort, and safety. If the room is too hot or too cold, babies wake more often, cry more, and struggle to stay asleep.
Babies cannot regulate body temperature as efficiently as adults. Their bodies lose heat faster. They also produce heat differently. This makes baby sleep temperature one of the most important environmental factors in your nursery.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), overheating is associated with an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Several case-control studies have found that higher room temperatures and excessive bedding were common factors in SIDS-related cases. While temperature alone does not cause SIDS, it is a recognized risk factor when combined with poor ventilation and overdressing.
