Those recommendations sound crazy. Human babies have been living at all temperatures with their families all over the world since...humans. I have 3 children. I do not heat the house at night. You can make a wool sleep sack for a baby if you are worried about blankets. I swaddled mine in blankets to put to bed. It never gets below 45'F in the house overnight, usual warmer than that, in the low 50's. Summers are warmer. I have never lived in a house with airconditioning. When my eldest was born, it was a heat wave week, high temperatures for that area of Ca. Baby slept better than me. In this house, where it gets hotter, we made the changes to the house to keep it cooler, and had the baby sleep downstairs bedroom with us ( upstairs is alot hotter. That north bedroom did not go above 85'F or 95'F in a heat wave. When I put a baby in bed with us, I had a down comforter. That is a good way for alot of warmth without weight or lots of layers to tangle.
