A baby is shown wearing a hat, their cheeks are flushing red and they are sweating due to being too warm

Room temperature

It is important to make sure that your baby’s room is a comfortable temperature – not too hot or too cold. The chance of SIDS is higher in babies who get too hot, so try to keep the room temperature between 16 -20°C
