Violet's room at my ILs is 60 right now and it's not the coldest part of the night yet. That's really cold, right? My apt is super warm, like over 75, even with a window cracked so maybe I'm delusional.
She's wearing a onesie, fleece pjs, socks and one of those new A&A sleep sacks that says it's for super cold temps so I think she's okay. I just checked on her and her hands were actually warm.

60 degrees for a room is cold imo. I would do what you're doing, keep her bundled up. Do they have a space heater?
ETA: I know I'm in an extreme-ish climate, but we keep our central air set at 79. There's actually times I need to put a sweatshirt on or cuddle up in a blanket.
Thad is sleeping in his room at the in laws. It's about 65 now and will get colder. It isn't ideal but our room in this house is mayyyyybe 58. Too cold and so so drafty.
We haven't started turning the heat on yet, so it's about 68 in the house at night. 60 is really cold, especially since it will get colder as the night goes on.
Cold! We keep our house at 68 at night because I like to snuggle into the blankets. Anything under 66 and I wake up. Sounds like she's pretty well bundled though

We keep our house on the cooler side a night. Alexis room is usually around 65-68 and she wears fleece pjs and a fleece sleepsack. Sometimes she even wakes up a little sweaty. I think V will be fine!

We keep ours around 68 in the winter. I think 60 is too cold but if you have her bundled up and check on her during the night she will probably be fine.
Oh hell, we set the heater at 61 overnight. The rooms stay warm at 65. Ours is set lower in our room, room temp is 62 and I typically have a fan on medium blowing on me. We like to sleep in the cold. Our downstairs is set to 69 (temp in morning is 63) we have not turned on the furnace yet.
I should add we have ductless heating/ac units (yeah old house with radiators--pre-war to you). There's a large unit in the living room and three smaller units in each bedroom. I like that we can set different temps in each room. Katelyn has the smallest room so hers is set differently. Once we turn the furnace on, Kalvin's unit will be turned off. He has the warmest room as the chimney goes right up through his room.
Next year, we'll probably get an insert for the fireplace to help heat the house. The units aren't as efficient when it hits single digits.
That's chilly. Kai won't use blankets and doesn't sleep as well with lots of layers on, so it wouldn't work for us. Our house is set at 68 and his baseboard heater is set to low, so it's probably 72 in his room. But if she sleeps well bundled like that I'm sure she's fine!
68 for the upstairs where the kids are and 64 for the downstairs where we are. The thermostats are in the large open rooms though, so by the time it heats that room up to 64 our room is in the 70s. If I set it any higher we roast when it turns on. I HATE them, I really wish the thermostats were placed in the rooms that it mattered the most.

We keep our thermostat at 62 but it is on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second, so they are normally warmer. We just dress the kids warmly and (now that they are older) nice warm blankets. If they get cold they normally call out for us, but this only happens in crazy ice storms and such.
We keep the house at 68. We bump it up to 70 sometimes for a while. Her room is warmer and our room is colder due to weird venting. But that works well. I dread the nights in Ireland for Christmas- my parents house is always freezing and Matilda sleeps best when it's warm.
66 for us. I've seen as low as 63 on the baby monitor display, but the camera sits on the windowsill so I don't think the room is actually that cold. Last winter we kept it 70 but now I throw the comforter over both G and me.
We keep A's room set at 76 and the rest of the apartment at 71 or 72.
Here though my mom says the heat is set to 72 but it does not feel like it. The room Audrey is in is way colder so I had to buy her flannel PJs and a flannel sleep sack. Her hands were freezing the first night so we put a space heater in there.
60 degrees for a room is cold imo. I would do what you're doing, keep her bundled up. Do they have a space heater?
They do, but it apparently sucks because I have it set at 68 and it's still 60 in there. I guess I should go turn it up.
My ILs sleep with an electric blanket. They're ridic.
Make sure the window isn't cracked. The space heater in A's room wasn't doing anything and then I noticed one of the windows was cracked open and now it keeps the room super toasty. I would turn up the temp on the space heater.
