Baby Dressing Tips for Any Weather!
Spring is here, bringing sunshine, rain showers, and unpredictable temperatures! Keeping your little one cozy means mastering the art of layering. With the right clothing and safe sleep practices, your baby will stay snug, no matter the forecast.
Dressing Little Ones for Spring Weather:
50°F: Start with a long-sleeve onesie and add a lightweight sweater. A jacket or blanket keeps them cozy outside, and don’t forget a cap!
60°F: Layer a short-sleeve onesie under a long-sleeve shirt or jacket. Long pants are a must, and keep those tiny toes covered with socks or footed pants.
70°F: Even in warmer weather, layering helps! A short-sleeve onesie with a light jacket is perfect for breezy spots or unexpected rain showers.
Pro Tip: Cotton is best for spring—soft, breathable, and gentle on baby’s skin. And always have extra outfits on hand—babies are pros at making messes!
Safe Sleep Basics (All Year Round):
✔ Always place baby on their back to sleep.
✔ Use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet—no pillows, toys, or loose bedding.
✔ Avoid overdressing—overheating increases SIDS risk.
By layering wisely and maintaining a safe sleep environment, you’ll keep your little one snug, comfy, and sleeping soundly—no matter the season!
