Clothing
Unless the temperature is hot (over 75 degrees Fahrenheit [23.88 degrees Celsius]), your newborn will need several layers of clothing to keep her warm. It's generally best to dress her in an undershirt and diapers, covered with pajamas or a dressing gown, and then wrap her in a receiving blanket. If your baby is premature, sh may need still another layer of clothing until her weight reaches that of a full-term baby and her body is better able to adjust to changes in temperature. In hot weather you can reduce her clothing to a single layer. A good rule of a thumb is to dress the baby in one more layer of clothing than you are wearing to be comfortable in the same environment.
