Red Nose Education

Red Nose does not recommend a specific room temperature to reduce the risk of overheating &/or Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI)
It is not necessary to monitor the room temperature or to leave the heating or cooling on all night, as long as the baby is dressed appropriately for the room temperature.
Dress baby as you would dress yourself – comfortably warm, not hot or cold.
With the advent and marketing of nursery thermometers and suggested bedding configurations, parents may think they must maintain a specific room temperature in order to reduce the risk of SUDI. In Australia, it is usually not necessary to measure room temperature.
