A low to mid-70's temperature is warm enough as long as the baby is dressed appropriately.
One rule of thumb is to dress your baby like you are dressed for that kind of day and a similar amount of activity (usually sleeping or quiet). The best way to tell if your baby is dressed warm enough is to look and touch his skin.
If your baby's hands are cold, blue or blotchy, add socks, hat, sweater or another blanket.
If your baby seems restless or fussy and his skin is flushed or reddened, remove a piece of clothing or blanket.
When your baby is sleeping, add one blanket.
If these things do not make a difference and your baby continues to be uncomfortable, take your baby's temperature; your baby could be sick.
