While baby clothing sizes are often labeled according to age, every baby grows at their own pace. Therefore, it’s important not to rely solely on age-based sizing. Instead, pay close attention to the actual measurements of the clothing (such as chest, waist, and length) and compare them with your baby’s current size. Babies grow fast, and sizing up slightly allows for room to grow, but be sure that the clothes aren’t too baggy. Clothing that’s too loose can cause safety concerns, like tripping hazards, while clothes that are too tight can cause discomfort and restrict movement.

Babies have a harder time regulating their body temperature than adults, so dressing them in layers is a smart choice. Layering allows you to adjust your baby’s clothing throughout the day as the temperature changes, ensuring they are always at a comfortable temperature. Choose lightweight base layers, like onesies or bodysuits, that can be easily added to or removed. Outer layers such as cardigans or jackets can provide extra warmth without overheating. Always make sure that each layer fits comfortably, without being too tight or too loose, to ensure your baby stays cozy and comfortable.
