Paranoid over room temperature and temperature of baby

Hi mommies, I am a first time mom and I am constantly worried about my baby core temperature rising due to the temperature of the room. Will overheating cause brain damage like how fever should not go above 40 degree Celsius? When I touch my baby, he feels warm not hot.. and a little sweat in his neck fold but not at the back of the neck. When i on 24 degrees Celsius , he will sneeze.. but when I woke up at 26 degree myself, I feel warmth .. may I know what temperature do you all on for room? I am really worried for my infant as I know of young adults whom have fever above 40 when they were a child and their intellectual stopped at that age despite they body continue growing .. #adviceplease #firsttimemom #FTM #baby #newmom

I don't think the temperature of the room can cause a baby's body temp to rise to high fever range. They may be warm or sweaty but unlikely to develop a fever due to the air con temp. Fevers are usually a result of viral infections. So you don't have to worry too much over the room temp, just observe and see which temp allows your baby to sleep better. But of course, if your baby develops a fever (due to other reasons), do seek medical treatment.

My baby sleep very well in cooler temperature.. but my husband is afraid of cold and he assume the baby is cold.. I on 23 degree but the wind doesn’t blow on baby directly, I would suppose my baby should be feeling comfortable enough with a swaddle..but my husband will give him another layer on top of a swaddle .. 🙃
