Clothing

Don't let your baby get overheated. Keep the room temperature comfortable for an adult.

• 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 protect your baby from direct sunlight. Ask your baby's health care provider about using sunscreen.
• In the winter, dress your baby in layers. Be sure not to overdress your baby. In general, your baby will be comfortable if they have one more layer than you do.
