urgh yes I had to mop the windows this morning.

it's because we get the prevailing southerly Sally. Bad idea to move this side.

Jeepers Bobbie, I can't believe it gets that cold in your house

. That is freezing.

Our place has stuff-all insulation too & it doesn't get anywhere near that cold, luckily.

I have a room thermometer so I might try moving it into Liam's room when it gets a bit colder just to see how cold it actually is.

We wouldn't be without our dehumidifier. The amount of moisture that comes out is huge

AFAIK the recommended room temperature for sleeping is between 16 and 20 degrees. Not just for comfort but for resistance to respiratory and other cold related illnesses as well.
I doubt many uninsulated houses in NZ would fit in that category in winter.

But that's my completely unqualified and personal opinion

I agree that is that recommended temperature - our insulated house wouldn't stay within that temperature during the night, but I also think that the kids are warm enough in their beds.

I think it also depends on the house.. our last house in Onehunga was a sh*thole - it was so cold we had 7 convection and oil heaters in that house; one in each of the kids rooms.. didn't matter how many blankets etc that we put on their beds, it was freezing...

I'm hoping that this house is warmer during the winter.. we've got wall heaters which will heat their rooms... so I'm really hoping there won't be a need the heaters anymore.]]> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:26:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008888&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008888 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : Our heater is on to take the chill...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008813&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008813 Author: MrsEmma

Our heater is on to take the chill of Liam's room if it's a bit colder than usual but never stays on other than that. We have a room/bath thermometer and have been reading up on what the temp should be (between 16 - 20 as others have said) so we just use that to keep an eye on the temp and make sure he has enough clothes and blankets. He seems nice and toasty

Does anyone have one of the wall mounted ceramic heaters the warehouse sells? Kind of look like a small heat pump. Wondering if they are any good or expensive to run. They look like a good idea as they can be high mounted and look like they work the same as a heat pump.

We just have a oil fin heater in Josh's room and although he keeps turning it on and off at times its been good. He probably learnt the hard way its hot cos he doesnt touch the hot areas.]]> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:48:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008679&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008679 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : We have a convection heater timed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008444&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008444 Author: emz

We have a convection heater timed to go on between 2.30-5.30am in the winter. It also has a tip cut-out thing in it so he couldn't burn the house down. It also doesn't get hot enough to burn them. They're the best to run if you just want a few hours heat in that cold bit of the night, rather than using an oil heater.]]> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:04:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008444&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008444 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : Since we got DVS the over all...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008406&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008406 Author: caliandjack

Since we got DVS the over all temp in the house rarely gets below 16 degrees, don't think I'd cope with it any colder. We've got econoheat panel heaters too.

We have an column oil heater with thermostat in the kids bedroom. They share a room. They only sleep in there though so we dont really have to worry about henry playing with it. Also we hardly ever put it on. Haven't put it on this year yet and we are in chch. I have wool blankets on both the kids beds and they wear a good amount of layers to bed. Both children sleep through the night 7-7 and are always toasty warm when i check on them.
I know that over 16 is the recommended temp but i dont think henry would sleep very well at that temperature. He sleeps a lot worse in the summer than in the winter. Just something ive noticed. Of course i have no idea what temp their room actually is. We were thinking of getting a thermometer actually. ]]> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:22:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008292&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008292 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : Bel wrote:I don't think...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1008053&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1008053 Author: tishy

That's a good idea about the suspender clips Babe.

Last winter Rowan's room got down to 5 degrees at night. Our house isn't insulated and we are on the south side of the ridge so it is very cold even for Auckland.

We have wool filled duvet inners and flannel pjs and sheets and Morgan has merino nighties.

No heater in my boys room (they're sharing atm) but Tys swaddled and I've stitched Jakes sheets to each other to make a sleeping bag shape and he has a winter weight merino sleep sack, merino and flannel pjs, a100% woolen blanket and a featherdown duvet. When he was younger I got suspender clips, attached them to elastic and used them to hold the edges of his blankets together under his mattress IYKWIM?

Luke didn't have a heater last year, it got down to around 10deg in his room but he was fine! Lots of blankets, good jammies and he was toasty!

But if you want a heater I would use something that attaches to the wall or have a gate or something around it so he can't get to it]]> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 08:12:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1007978&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1007978 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : My 2 know not to touch the heater,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1007808&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1007808 Author: tishy

we have an oil fin in the boys room but it is between then end of the boys cots and their rocking horse is in front of it so until he can climb right over he cant get it.

depending on how much heating the room needs though, we also have a standing fan type heater (if that makes any sense) but it has a sensor on the bottom which means as soon as it falls, or even tips a little it cuts all power and re-sets so it must be turned on again properly before it will work. so if your kids knock it over they wont get burnt, and it wont cause a fire.]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 14:32:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1005445&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1005445 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : Great thread!

We have oil heaters in our kids' rooms. DD has learned from a young age what hot is and that it can hurt you so she is really good.

I'm not sure that we'll use a heater in Liam's room this winter. We'll just wait & see how cold it actually gets in his room. He has good bedding & a woollen underlay & he is surprisingly good at staying under the covers.

But if we do end up needing a heater, I agree with Stacey that the econo heaters look ideal. I don't think I'd risk putting any other type of heater in his room as I'm sure he'd fiddle with it

I would love wall mounted heaters or a ventilation system but we rent. Any ideas on what to do if you can't have permanent solutions?

LIke is there a portable version of the econoheat panels? I do love them - my friends have them and they are just awesome.

We have a dehumidifier and it can't keep up in the winter but it does definitely help.

Ecnoheat heaters are what we have in our bedrooms. They do get hot but they don't burn on inital contact or anything. So what we did was have it going for ages so it was hot and then showed daniel by putting our hands near it and told him all about burnies and he hasn't had any issues with it. Hes touched it a couple of times by accident without burning himself. At least mounted to the wall it can't tip.]]> Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:18:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1004564&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1004564 <![CDATA[Heaters in toddlers rooms? : What sort of heaters do people...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33042&PID=1004561&title=heaters-in-toddlers-rooms#1004561 Author: MummyFreckle

What sort of heaters do people use in their toddlers bedrooms? DS is now in a bed, and last winter we used a little radiator, but am concerned about him touching it or tipping it over now that he can get out of bed.

Any ideas?
