Baby sleep room temperature?
⚡ Short answer: The ideal room temperature for babies is 20-22°C, checked from the back of the neck, and the principle of dressing baby one layer more than an adult applies.

Confusion about ideal room temperature for babies is very common; your question is very natural. The general pediatric recommendation is 20-22°C, with temperatures not dropping below 18°C and not exceeding 24°C overnight.
Using a room thermometer is safest. Along with that, the practical way to understand if baby is too cold or too warm is to touch the back of their neck: if the neck is warm, baby is comfortable even if hands and feet are cool. If baby is sweating or cold, you should adjust the temperature.
The principle of dressing one layer more than yourself applies: when you're comfortable at home in a light t-shirt, add one more layer for baby. If you have a sleep sack, you don't need to put a blanket over it.
A tip: ventilating the room is as important as temperature. A few seconds of short airing out a few times a day both improves air quality and positively affects baby's sleep pattern.
