When can babies start wearing the same amount of clothing as us?

I know that babies are cooler than us but for how long? When is a good time to start putting them in the same amount of clothes as us? I usually do layers so I can take them off if it gets warmer but once the outside temp gets warmer I don't want him to get too warm.

1. Dress him just as you are dressed after about 3-6 months. Basically, if you're hot - you're going to know that your baby is hot. If you're cold - you're going to know that he's cold.

2. I don't think there is a set age. Just use your judgement. If it's 90 degrees, obviously you can both wear short sleeves. If it's 70 degrees, you may comfortable in short sleeves, but not your child. I don't have a specific rule for how to dress my 18-month-old -- I just pay attention to whether he's warm or cool enough.

3. I think around 6 months I started to dress her in the same amount I was wearing, but I still bring something extra just in case (and she's 19 months old).

4. Until about 6 months, the rule of thumb is one extra layer than you yourself would wear. Unless it is hot, obviously.

5. you need to dress the baby according to the weather.

6. I've been dressing my baby how I'm dressed since he was about 3-4 months old..

Not every baby is ready by then.. but my little guy would just get so HOT.. he's just like me in that we get hot and sweat pretty dang easily.

I always have a blanket for him too though.. just in case.. and sometimes a hoodie.. he's almost 6 months now.
