The Lullaby Trust CEO Jenny Ward explains how to keep your baby safe and comfortable during winter nights.

For youngsters over the age of four weeks, the room temperature should be between 16-19°C.

‘Indoor temperatures are usually stable enough to mean that you don’t need to keep the central heating on all night,’ says Jenny. ‘But if you do want to keep it on, set it at the low end of the correct temperature range for your baby – otherwise, you could make your home too hot.’ Babies under 12 months shouldn’t have a pillow or a duvet. A duvet is too heavy and hot for youngsters and pillows are also an overheating risk. That’s because a pillow is soft, so your baby’s head sinks down into it, creating a little pocket of warm air around his head. He’s too small to move out of that position – so he could get dangerously hot.
