What do babies born in winter wear for outdoors and indoors?

I am due in Jan, 2009. I am wondering what kind of clothes are warm enough for babies indoors and outdoors.

Will the onesies do for indoors, or does the baby need more? Should the baby be dressed in multiple layers for outdoors. How much will be too warm for the baby?

Thanks!

1. My doctor always told me to do the baby in one more layer than you would do for yourself. So indoors, keep them in a nice warm sleeper, even keep socks on them with it. Outdoors is the same. A onesie, thermal sleeper, thick socks, snowsuit, hat and gloves. You'll be fine :)

2. The general rule for dressing an infant is to dress the baby as you would yourself plus one layer...remember a new born doesnt move around they way we do so if you were to go for a walk through a mall or something you might get hot fast from walking and pushing a stroller while your baby is just sitting in the stroller and still could be cold.

3. my son was born in November dressed him in a onesies and a warm sleeper and a little jacket to go outside and had a cover that covered the whole car seat and he was fine

Inside he wore a onesies and a little thinner sleeper

Congratulations and Best Of Luck to you on the baby

4. My daughter (December baby) mostly wore sleepers indoors. But go by the temperature of your house. If you keep it warm, she may well be comfortable in a onesie.

For outside, remember that you can't have a lot of thick clothing in the carseat, so layers are good idea. A warm bunting for outside, and a lighter/thinner jacket for the carseat.

5. i was thinkin the same thing but my baby is born in oct. and we stayin in biloxi mississippi so i doesnt get that cold....

6. I'm also due in Jan 09'... So I am wondering the same thing... It is going to hard to have a winter baby. I'm worried bout getting the baby to ALL THOSE APPT. I've always heard one more layer than you... Get a carseat with one of those winter covers for it too. Good luck.

7. Out doors they need a snowsuit or heavy suit and a blanket over them. Always keep the head covered. I invested in a car seat cover that cover the entire car seat top and leaves a little whole where the baby's head is so she can see out and breath. Inside they'll def need more than a onesie depending on how hot your home is. Put her or him in a onesie and then a footsie pajama.. check on he/she later and make sure the feet are ok if not put socks on as well.
