Dressing your baby for the weather

[cherylsangel]

Well now that spring is here and the weather is fluctuating I am just not sure of how to dress my son appropriately...the winter was easy...just bundle up but now the weather is between 10C and 20C...This has been the thing I knew would be the hardest for me..I dont want to overdress or under dress...


The doc told me 1 layer extra then we would wear but I am still not sure....we go for walks everyday and I just want to make sure he stays comfortable,

How old is the baby?  I was told that they are comfortable when we are.  Relax, not everyone's perfect and you'll have times when you screw up, it's normal.  I would dress him in one layer warm clothes, a jacket on top.  Take blankets if he's a little one and that will keep him warm enough.  I think he'll be fine as long as it's not snowing or anything like that.  They have the same signs we do, goosebumps when cold and sweating when hot...just check him if your worried :)

I know what you mean. The last few days I've put Brady in a t-shirt onsie with a lighter long sleeve shirt on overtop and then put a heavier sweater or his coat on over that and then if it's really warm out then I just take the sweater or coat off. It was really warm yesterday here and I even had his winter hat on! LOL DH told me to take it off, he's already warmer as it is so it's a good thing cuz he was eventually sweating!
