Check your baby's chest or back of the neck rather than hands and feet. Never use loose blankets, hats indoors or weighted sleep sacks. This is general guidance, not medical advice.

How this calculator works

Common guidance: above 75°F (24°C) 0.5 TOG over a short-sleeve bodysuit or less; 69-75°F (21-24°C) 1.0 TOG; 61-68°F (16-20°C) 2.5 TOG; below 61°F (16°C) 3.5 TOG with warmer layers. A cooler room within safe limits is better than an overheated one.
