How to Dress Your Baby for a Safe Nap
Keeping your baby comfortable and safe during nap time starts with choosing the right clothing. Here’s a quick guide for parents:
1. Choose Soft, Breathable Fabrics
Opt for lightweight materials like cotton, muslin, or bamboo. These help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
2. Dress According to Room Temperature
The ideal room temperature is 20–22°C.
-
In warm weather: use light jablas, bodysuits, or thin sleep suits.
-
In cooler weather: add a soft full-sleeve layer or a wearable blanket.
Avoid overdressing.
3. Avoid Loose Items
Skip loose blankets, hats, mittens, or clothing with strings. Instead, use a sleep sack if extra warmth is needed.
4. Ensure a Comfortable Fit
Nap wear should be soft and flexible-not tight. Choose outfits that allow free movement and easy diaper changes.
5. Check Baby’s Temperature
Feel the chest or back of the neck to ensure they’re neither too hot nor too cold. Adjust layers as needed.
Final Tip:
Simple, breathable clothing keeps your baby safe, cozy, and ready for a peaceful nap
