Clothing

Judge how to dress your baby by your comfort level. 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 keep your baby out of direct sunlight. Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) on your infant if outside, even on cloudy days.
  • In the winter: Dress your baby in layers. Be sure not to overdress your baby.
