What should newborn wear to bed

Question

Can my newborn (3 weeks old) wear just footie pajamas to bed? I keep the house between 68-70 degrees at night. I don’t want him to be cold & definitely don’t want to use a blanket on him either

Answer

Footies are fine, swaddles are also great alternatives to blanket

Answer

That’s pretty cool for just pjs. Babies usually need one more layer than you. So if you would be comfortable sleeping in a tank and shorts with no blanket, baby should be fine in just pjs. But I bet you need more for 70F.

Answer

We love sleep sacks if you don't want to swaddle but honestly we swaddled then and swaddle.not and it's the best. There are lots of easy swaddle options with velcro and zippers (I like the zippered ones best). But we have also put him to bed in just a sleeper with footies and he was fine, just slept better swaddled.

Answer

My son wears footies to bed and he does just fine. He also has a swaddle just in case, I just be sure to check his little face and make sure it's not getting too cold

Answer

How thick are the pajamas? That’s not very warm house wise to only have pj’s on. We used a lot of blankets when our daughter was newborn - safely - put baby at the bottom of the bed, tuck the blankets in so you only have the amount you need.
Otherwise get a baby sleeping bag

Answer

I just used a swaddle-sleepsack (and he wore a diaper).

Answer

We do a sleep gown and a halo sleep sack which also swaddles around her.

Answer

Are you sleeping with a blanket? Or just with that amount of fabric on you?

Answer

We do footies and then swaddle or wear or sleep Blanket
