Dressing your baby to sleep is an important part of helping them get a good night's rest. It’s important to keep your baby warm and comfortable, but also to ensure that their clothing doesn’t cause them to overheat. Here are some tips for dressing your baby for sleep: 1. Choose soft fabrics: Babies have delicate skin, so it’s important to choose fabrics that are soft and comfortable. Natural and organic fabrics like cotton, bamboo, and wool are best for keeping your baby comfortable and warm. 2. Dress them in layers: Babies tend to get cold easily, so it’s important to dress them in multiple layers. A onesie and a sleep sack or wearable blanket are ideal for keeping your baby warm. 3. Avoid extra accessories: Anything that could be a choking hazard, such as scarves, hats, or booties, should be avoided when dressing your baby for sleep. 4. Keep it cool: Babies can easily overheat, so it’s important to keep the room cool. A temperature between 68-72 degrees is ideal. 5. Don’t overdress: It’s important to dress your baby appropriately for the temperature. If the room is cool, you may need to add an extra layer, but if it’s warm, you may need to remove a layer.
