We keep her room at 70 degrees and she's never had a problem with being too cold at night. You can also find the vest style wearable blankets in light cotton for the summer months and then just use them without an under layer on warm nights. We bought one that's extremely large for our baby just because she can then use it for several months and grow into it. I hope that helps! Anu,

Put the baby in warm pajamas under the wearable blanket and see if the baby appears flushed or too hot when you check on her. Then reduce layers until you get the right combination. I would just be afraid of getting the baby too hot, as there is an increased SIDS risk with overheating. My daughter has always run really warm. While everyone is bundled in sweaters and scarves, she's running around in a light summer dress--and we keep our house at 64 degrees in the daytime. We had a really cold, drafty house when she was a baby, and I think she was fine with just a thin cotton layer under her wearable blanket. (We had a fleece swaddling blanket.) Perhaps some other parents can chime in with their stories! Anu, I’d probably just play it by ear.
