My husband and I are doing a trial run of our bed-sharing set up before baby arrives in a few weeks. Looks like this:

-thin mattress topper + coconut coil mattress pad on floor (sharing this because I've heard floor beds don't trap heat as much as normal beds)

-top sheet that we sleep on top of

-pillows just for our heads

-no blankets, duvets, etc

My question is how in the world do people stay warm and also dress for easy breastfeeding? I recently read you should set your thermostat between 60-68 F if bedsharing with a newborn. My plan is to wear a hat, light cotton long-sleeved shirt, sweatpants (maybe with leggings under), and socks. But even with that I feel like my top half gets too cold.

TIA!
