Baby Room & Bath Temperature Guide
The 16–20°C sleep-safety window and 37–38°C bath range, with a what-to-dress layer helper.
Overheating is an established SIDS risk factor, and babies regulate heat poorly — the check is the *chest or neck* (warm, not sweaty), never the always-cool hands. Indian summers push rooms well past the chart: a fan moving air, lightest cotton, and never a hat indoors is the standard adaptation. Bath water: 37–38°C, always cold tap last.
