A Guide to Baby's Temperature
As a parent there always seems to be something to worry about! A common concern in these cooler months is baby’s temperature and how to hit the ‘Goldilocks’ sweet spot – not too cold; not too hot! Monitoring baby Babies can’t regulate their own body temperature for the first six weeks, so it’s important to keep an eye on them and adjust their clothing and room temperature to suit. First up – what is normal? Baby’s temperature should be around 37 degrees Celsius. A mild fever is a temperature higher than 38ºC and a high fever is anything over 39ºC. A thermometer is a great addition to your home first aid kit – giving you a quick and accurate temperature reading. These will typically get used a lot throughout childhood, making them a great investment. Some great options include digital forehead thermometers for quick and contactless checks such as Oricom's Contact Infrared Thermometer or Nuk's Baby Flash Thermometer. It’s a good idea to also take your baby’s temperature on a day when they’re content and well, so you can check their ‘normal’. Babies under three months with a mild fever and babies between three and six months with a high fever (over 39ºC) should be taken to the doctor. Another way to gauge baby’s temperature is to gently touch the back of their head or tummy – it should feel warm. (While they offer easier access, don’t go by their hands or feet, as these extremities are often cooler.) Ideal temperature for a sleep space It’s important to make sure the room where your baby is sleeping is at a comfortable temperature - around 18-20ºC. If you have a heater, heat pump, or air conditioning with a thermostat, you can set it to 18ºC and it will flick on and off as the temperature changes throughout the night. Clothing and bedding choices are key Merino is a natural wonder that’s perfect year-round – helping with temperature regulation. It has little pockets of air that keep warmth in on cold days, and cool baby down on a hot day. Another great natural fibre for baby is organic cotton . It can eliminate moisture build up between clothes and your baby’s skin, to keep your them comfortable and dry. Clothes for when you’re out and about For daytime, opt for layers so you can add or remove a layer to keep baby comfortable - again sticking with cotton and merino. If your baby falls asleep in the pram or car - yay! But both spaces can heat up and get airless quickly – so don’t forget to monitor their temperature. Think about ways to provide shade and airflow – and don’t leave them asleep in a car alone. Bath time Ideal water temperature for a bath is 37°C. It should feel warm and soothing, but not too hot for delicate skin. You can test the water with the inside of your wrist, or make it super easy with a Oricom Duck Bath Thermometer or the colour-changing Pebbly.

How to Dress your baby for Sleep
Dressing Your Baby for Sleep – A Seasonal Guide Knowing how to dress your baby at bedtime can feel like a bit of a guessing game – especially when the seasons start to change. Should you add another layer? Is the room too cool? Are their hands meant to be that cold? To help take the guesswork out, we’ve put together a simple guide to dressing your little one for sleep using our Dimples sleeping bags and sleepwalkers, without any additional blankets. A Gentle Reminder Every baby is different, so this guide is just that – a guide. The best way to check if your baby is at a comfortable temperature is by feeling the back of their neck. It should feel warm, not hot or sweaty. Hands and feet can feel cooler and aren't always a reliable indicator. Baby’s body temperature naturally dips during the early morning hours, so if your little one is waking more often than usual, it might be worth checking if they’re feeling a bit chilly. And remember – when it comes to sleep, it’s safer for babies to be slightly cool rather than too warm. Choosing the Right Layers When dressing your baby, natural fibres like Merino wool or cotton are best. These breathable fabrics help regulate temperature and keep your baby comfortable through the night. Merino in particular is a year-round superstar – its clever fibres trap warm air on cooler nights and allow heat to escape on warmer ones, making it ideal for all seasons. At Dimples, all of our garments are designed especially for keeping little ones cosy and safe. We recommend having at least two sleeping bags or sleepwalkers on hand for each season, so you’re always prepared for the inevitable midnight messes. Ideal Room Temperature The ideal temperature for a baby’s room is between 16–20°C. If you’re using a heater or heat pump, setting the thermostat to 18°C will help maintain a steady climate through the night without overheating. Monitoring the Room Many baby monitors display room temperature, which can be a helpful reference.Alternatively, something like the Shnuggle Moon Nightlight can be used to keep an eye on the room temperature. It uses a handy colour display to show whether the room is sitting within the ideal range. Signs Your Baby May Be Too Warm Waking more frequently than usual Sweaty back or neck Damp hair Shallow or rapid breathing If you notice these signs, try removing a layer or adjusting the room temperature. A cool, damp cloth on the back of their neck can help if they’re feeling very warm – and always check for fever if you’re concerned. Signs Your Baby May Be Too Cold Restless sleep or unusual movement around the cot Rolling onto their stomach Catnapping during the day Waking around 5am If any of these sound familiar, consider adding a layer, using a warmer sleeping bag, or gently warming the room. Dressing your baby for sleep doesn’t have to be stressful. With a few key pieces and a little trial and error, you’ll find the sweet spot that keeps them cosy and safe – all night long 😴 Explore our full sleepwear range to find breathable, natural fibre options for every season.And if you’re ever unsure, we’re here to help.

Keeping Winter Bugs Away from your Baby
Keeping your baby well and cosy this winter Winter can be a challenging time when you have a little one, especially if they’re brand new. 🐣 Alongside keeping baby warm and dry, you’re also up against colds, flu, and other winter bugs that seem to be everywhere. Because babies’ immune systems are still developing, they’re more vulnerable to infections. Their tiny nasal passages and lungs also mean illnesses like colds and flu can affect them more than adults. But don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to reduce their risk and help them recover quickly if they do catch something. Stay warm, stay comfy While “catching a chill” won’t cause a cold or flu, keeping your baby warm and dry helps their body focus on fighting off germs instead of battling the cold. Dress your baby in one extra layer than you’re wearing, and choose clothes that are easy to add or remove as they warm up or cool down. Keep your home temperature steady around 18 - 20°C for cosy comfort. Merino wool is a winter hero for babywear and bedding. Its natural temperature regulating properties keep babies warm without overheating, making it ideal for layering under pyjamas and sleepwear. Fuel their immune system Good nutrition is vital to support your baby’s developing immune system. Once they’ve started solids, offer a colourful variety of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Frozen produce can be just as nutritious as fresh, especially during winter when fresh foods may have been stored for long periods. Avoid refined sugars and processed foods, which can impair immunity. When possible, prepare baby’s food from scratch to keep nutrient levels high. While supplements aren’t usually necessary for babies, some parents choose to use vitamin drops - just make sure these are used as a boost to a healthy diet and given in the correct amounts. Keeping germs at bay Reducing exposure to germs is one of the best ways to keep your baby healthy during winter. Handwashing is the frontline defence. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after being in public places, changing nappies, or before feeding your baby. Teach older siblings to wash their hands immediately after coming home, and encourage good hygiene habits like coughing or sneezing into their elbows instead of their hands. If your baby is old enough to explore, regularly clean their hands as well, since babies often put toys and fingers in their mouths. When out and about, keeping your baby’s pram covered can help shield them from strangers’ coughs and sneezes or accidental touching. Regularly clean toys and surfaces baby frequently touches at home to limit germs. Avoid close contact with anyone who is unwell, and try to limit your baby’s time in crowded places during peak cold and flu season. If you’re still breastfeeding, it’s especially important to keep germs away - breastmilk passes vital antibodies that help protect your baby from many illnesses. This natural immunity boost makes hygiene and reducing exposure even more crucial. Hydration is key Breastfeeding also helps keep your baby hydrated and supported through winter. Regardless of feeding method, ensure your baby drinks enough breastmilk, formula, or water (if old enough) to prevent dry nasal passages and reduce infection risk, especially if you’re using heaters or air conditioning, which can dry the air. When sniffles strike Even with your best efforts, babies can still catch colds. If your baby starts showing signs of a runny nose or congestion, gentle relief can make a big difference. Nasal decongesters designed specifically for infants safely clear blocked noses, making it easier for them to breathe and sleep. Using a few drops of saline beforehand can help loosen mucus for easier removal. A chest rub can be especially helpful for sleep. Raising the head of their cot slightly and running a humidifier in their room can soothe irritated airways. While some parents like using eucalyptus rubs or essential oils, it’s best to apply these to bedding or sleepwear rather than directly on baby’s skin to avoid irritation. Having these supplies ready before cold season hits means you’re prepared to help your little one feel comfortable and recover quickly. Ready for a cosy, healthy winter? Our collection of beautiful merino babywear and bedding is designed to keep your baby naturally warm and comfortable all winter long. With merino’s breathable and temperature-regulating properties, you can feel confident your baby is snug without overheating. Shop the range here.
