29 It is best to layer the infants to keep them warm. An undershirt with a shirt and a sweater is a good way of dressing. A sweater or a proper fitting jacket will ensure that the baby is comfortable. A warm blanket may be used, especially while traveling. A pair of mittens or gloves are essential to keep the hands warm. A woolen cap is needed to prevent temperature loss from the scalp. Summer dressing It is best to use soft cotton clothes during summer and not layer the baby too much, as it would make the baby sweaty and uncomfortable, besides raising the body temperature. The garments should be lightweight and loose but must not interfere with the baby's movements. Use cotton or lightweight caps for the head and cotton socks to cover the feet. Avoid clothes with buttons at the back or in places that can press the skin and cause discomfort.
