My baby is due in a few weeksIt could range anywhere from 35 to 80 degrees the day I bring her homeI'm just worried about being able to keep her warm enough if it's a cold dayWould a onesie and a fleece body suit over the onesie be enough?I'm worried about it because i've typically heard quot;dress them in what you would wear, if you're hot, they're hot, if you're cold, they're coldquot; but I have always had thyroid issues so I am very sensitive to coldIf I was only wearing a onesie and a fleece body suit, i'd still be freezingSo I don't want to overheat her.
I would avoid fleece and go for natural fibres like merino or cottonFleece doesn't breathe so it makes babies sweat a lotWhat I did was put on a merino vest and tights and over that I put another layer, then when she was in her car seat I had two blankets around herLuckily it wasn't raining or a wind howling when we went outside but if it is you can just put a blanket over the capsule to make a little shelterOnce you're in the car and it's warmed up then you can remove a layer of blankets To check if the baby is warm enough put your hand down their back, if it's too warm down there then chances are that the baby is too warmBut as my midwife said: Rather too warm than too coldBaby will probably get some heat rash sometime but in winter it's a bit of 'damned if you and damned if you don't'.
Regardless whether you use roll insulation or spray in you will probably have to replace the paneling/sheetrockNot sure about the spray in but roll insulation price depends on the thickness of the studs in your walls and how far apart they areroll insulation is around $1/sq footThe blow in insulation looks relatively cheap and easyHome Depot gives you a free rental blower with minimum purchase.
$500.oo If you patch the holes $800.oo If the contractor patches and paintsMy best guesstimate.
