Judge how to dress your baby based on the clothing you need to be comfortable. A temperature that is comfortable for you will also be comfortable for your baby.
In the summer, dress your baby in cool, lightweight clothing. When you are outdoors, put a wide-brimmed hat on your baby. Be sure to protect your baby from direct sunlight. Ask your baby's health care provider about using sunscreen.
In the winter, dress your baby in layers. Be sure not to overdress your baby. A baby's hands and feet often feel cool. Touch your baby's chest to see if his body is too
warm or too cool.
