Hi, I am abit stumped as I had a summer baby and now with a baby due in august not to sure what I need to dress bubs in for sleep and then during the day??
August is warmer here in Aus than NZ but with having a newborn I do still have to dress them warmer.

General rule of thumb - 1 layer more than what you're wearing and check the back of the neck or the chest to check temperature.

I would think a woollen singlet, bodysuit, sleepsuit or clothes, jumper and booties (with socks I'm guessing) would be a good start. Hat if necessary.

Lil miss actually didn't wear that many layers (July). I had a thermostat heater in her room to keep it around 18 degrees, and she would wear a bodysuit, all-in-one or pants and a top, socks and then a merino swaddle. If we were out or she was awake for a long period I'd also put a cardigan and hat on her, and an extra merino blanket over the top of the swaddle when she was snuggled up in the capsule/buggy.

I found it easier to dress her in fewer layers and regulate her temp with blankets/wraps as they were easier to take off/put on if the temp changed.

Wow. I am not planning on that many layers to begin with.

A undercover bodysuit and then a long bodysuit over that. (feet already covered). Then a wrap and that is it. Will see if bubs need anything more than that in the house but I rather underdress than overdress and just go according to bubs. And off course a hat unless sleeping.

When we go out there will be another layer with another blankie with but I will take cues from Andrew.

McKayla was a December baby in SA and mostly was in a nappie and that is it. She overheated really really quickly

Caden was born late June, and I always dressed him in a singlet, then a 100% woolen long sleeve vest, then his onsie and whatever else he was wearing. Sounds like a lot but it gets SOO cold out here.

I always made sure he had one more layer on than me, and booties and mittens and a hat(while out).
