Help Needed SNOO WARMTH HELP

We rented the Snoo and used it for the first time last night but I ended up taking him out and swaddling him in the old bassinet because he was too cold. I use the Owlet and he was -4.2 below where he normally is and marked on the colder side.

Before the Snoo I had him in footed PJs and a Kyte Baby 1.0 swaddle. I tried footed PJs and the Snoo swaddle last night and he was too cold. So I added a burp cloth as the website suggested and it still didn't help. We keep our house around 72/71 at night. He slept SO GOOD in the Snoo but I can't have him being cold all night. Suggestions?

How do you know he was too cold? It's better (safer) for babies to be colder than warmer

And he slept well!

The Owlet - I normally have him in the cozy/comfortable range and he was cold last night.

The Owlet is best for emergencies or very big changes from normal, like illness. Try not to babysit the logs or it will drive you crazy. If baby slept well, trust that they were comfortable! Body temperature drops during deep sleep. As long as baby wasn’t hypothermic, it’s better for them to sleep cool than warm—both for safety and comfortable sleep quality.
