How many layers do you dress your little one in?

Question

It’s about 60 degrees out an we keep the house at 72. I’ve been putting her in a a long sleeve/pant onesie with her feet covered (by socks or onesie) and she’s always swaddled in a medium weight blanket. The doctor said what she wore in the hospital was appropriate (a long sleeve shirt no pants and a swaddle) but my mom is telling me she needs a shirt under her onesie 🤔 I’ve never seen a baby wear a shirt under a onesie but what do I know 🤷‍♀️

Answer

As long as you baby is not shivering and not having cold feet/hands the baby should be fine. 
My baby loves to be in layers, always shivering so I dress him in two layers, swaddle then blanket. And on the other side I’m melting because it’s too warm for me.

Answer

My baby was a hot baby. She routinely had only a onesie or diaper on with a light blanket on her. Trust your instincts!

Answer

Hey! In the hospital my guy wore a diaper, shirt and onesie with a blanket. If we were doing skin to skin (which was most of the time) it was just a diaper and blanket. I initially had him all wrapped up with a hat and all and his temp was slightly elevated so the nurses told me to take some of the layers off which lowered him. At home he’s in the pj onesies with footies and fold over mittens. I’ve also put him in a onesie and sleep sack with mittens. Hope you are adjusting well!

Answer

We learned something in a prenatal class that really stuck with me: babies are used to being inside you at 98.6 degrees. A lot of times when they’re crying and won’t stop, it’s because they’re actually cold. 
So if it’s 60 out I would say an outfit and then blanket over the car seat would be safe 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

We just do a short sleeve onesie and a blanket.  But we have an old AC so the house is at 78-80 and she is a hot box

Answer

I do a onesie and a sleeper with a light hat and light blanket.
