How To Dress Baby For Sleep?

Dress baby in one light layer more than an adult would wear to sleep comfortably

Use a fitted sleep sack or wearable blanket instead of loose blankets

Choose breathable fabrics like cotton

Use long sleeves and footed pajamas in cooler rooms

Use a short-sleeve onesie or light pajamas in warmer rooms

Keep the room at a comfortable temperature, usually around 68 to 72 F

Avoid hats, hoods, and extra blankets during sleep

Avoid overdressing or using thick, heavy materials

Check the back of baby’s neck or chest for warmth, not hands or feet

Adjust clothing based on room temperature and season

Keep sleep clothing snug but not tight

Use safe sleep clothing that does not cover the face or restrict movement
