We have an old house - wooden floors & high ceilings and it gets quite cold. We use an oil heater in the girls room to keep the temp at around 20 degrees. They are both still in cots though and can't really get out. Oh, and both are terrible with blankets so have a gogo sleeping bag.

Scary Renee - I think I'll be extra careful with the kids around the heater

We have an Econo-Heat in Hannah's room on a timer.
It keeps her toasty and warm.

She has a Grobag, but only a summer weight one.
She's a really fidgety sleeper, so it's nice to know the cold edge has been taken off her room and it doesn't over heat.

I forgot to set the timer the other night and it was on from 5pm - 7am. Her room was lovely and warm, but certainly not hot when I went in to get her up for the day.

This is the second winter of using it and I love it

I agree with Bizzy on leaving heaters going all night in babies rooms.

We have a little heater in Cadens room but I only turn it on for about 10mins before he goes to sleep to take the chill off his room and then it gets turned off.
He has lots of blankets and his dressed all snug and in his sleep bag at night, so that keeps him warm.

We heat up our whole upstairs with a 10-fin oil column heater. We shut the door to the spare room, and leave Lydia's door and our door open. We have tapered ceilings, so they are about 10ft high at the point, but the heater is doing a great job keeping the whole upstairs toasty warm.

Re the smoke alarms, there should be one in EVERY room of the house, not just in hallways! Our house burned down when I was 12, my brother could have died if my dad didn't go in to him when he cried, and the smoke alarm in the hallway didn't go off until the flames were already coming out his bedroom door and into my room. HUGE advocate of smoke alarms here, people!
