Gro-egg

How to use the Gro-egg

The Gro-egg displays the exact room temperature in °F, and will display one of four colors depending on the room temperature. Please see the chart below:

Blue	Yellow	Orange	Red
Too Cold	Recommended	Warm	Too Warm
Under 60° F	61-67° F	68-75° F	Over 76° F

If the room temperature is outside the recommended guidelines (shown by the yellow color) there are three actions you can take.

1. Cool or heat the room
   For example, by opening or closing a window or door or using a thermostatically controlled heater or radiator.
2. Adjust the bedding
   Increase or reduce the amount of bedding. For example, for grobag® baby sleeping bag users choose a different tog rating. For those using traditional sheets and blankets, add or remove layers.
3. Adjust the baby's clothing
   Reduce or increase the number of layers of clothing your baby is wearing.

Please note, always remember to check your baby to make sure he or she is not too hot or cold. To check if your baby is too hot look for sweating or feel your baby, don’t worry if hands or feet are cold, that’s normal. If in any doubt please consult your health professional.
