Details of room temperature, clothing, and bedding used by night and by day and in winter and in summer were recorded for 649 babies aged 8 to 26 weeks. Room temperature at night was significantly related to outside temperature and duration of heating. Total insulation was significantly related to outside temperature and to minimum room temperature, but there was wide variation in insulation at the same room temperature. High levels of insulation for a given room temperature were found particularly at night and in winter, and were associated with the use of thick or doubled duvets and with swaddling. At least half the babies threw off some or all of their bedding at night, and at least a quarter sweated. Younger mothers and mothers in the lower social groups put more bedclothes over their babies, and the latter also kept their rooms warmer. Many mothers kept their babies warmer during infections.
记录了649名8至26周龄婴儿白天和晚上、冬季和夏季使用的室温、衣物及床上用品的详细情况。夜间室温与室外温度及供暖时长显著相关。总隔热与室外温度及最低室温显著相关,但在相同室温下隔热情况存在很大差异。在特定室温下,高水平隔热尤其出现在夜间和冬季,且与使用厚被子或双层被子以及襁褓包裹有关。至少一半的婴儿在夜间会踢掉部分或全部床上用品,至少四分之一的婴儿会出汗。年轻母亲及社会阶层较低的母亲会给婴儿盖更多被子,后者还会让房间更暖和。许多母亲在婴儿感染期间会让他们更暖和。
