Dressing a newborn in the fall and winter season
A young child's thermoregulation mechanism is not yet fully developed, nor is their immune system. Therefore, it's quite easy for an infant to become hypothermic, which can increase the risk of infection. To protect your little one from common infections, it's worth following a few simple rules:
- Check the body temperature at the nape of the neck or back. Touching the feet or cheeks is not a good way to determine whether the baby is cold or warm. Furthermore, the skin on the nape of the neck should always be dry;
- Dress your baby in layers so you can remove or add clothing as needed. Follow the rule of thumb: one layer more than an adult;
- It is better to dress your child too thinly than too warmly;
- wear a hat appropriate to the outside temperature.

On sunny days, it's a good idea to protect your baby's eyes with sunglasses. Avoid taking your newborn for walks in winter when the temperature outside is below -10 degrees Celsius (even if there's no wind). It's best to take your first walk when the temperature is above -5 degrees Celsius.
Dressing a newborn in the spring and summer season
How to dress a newborn in spring and summer? Preventing excessive sweating and overheating is crucial. The weather tends to play tricks on babies in March, April, and May. Warm days can alternate with cooler ones, so it's a good idea to adapt clothing to changing weather conditions. Warmer wool fabrics can gradually be replaced with breathable cotton, silk, and linen.
What to dress a newborn in in summer and spring?
You will need, among other things:
- short-sleeved bodysuit ;
- sunglasses with UV filter ;
- airy dresses made of organic cotton ;
- soft hats made of a mixture of cotton and silk ;
- cotton blouses ;
- silk leggings .
It's best to avoid walking your baby in the summer between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., when the sun's rays are at their strongest. This increases the risk of dehydration and heatstroke. Also, don't cover your baby in a bassinet with blankets or a canopy. A sunshade attached to the stroller is a much better option.
Regardless of the season, it's important to dress your baby in top-quality, preferably certified clothing. This is the only way to ensure your baby won't overheat or become too cold.
