What should my baby wear when we leave the house?

A word of advice: When going out with your infant, dress him in one more layer of clothing than you would have on yourself unless you’re wearing him in a wrap or sling, giving him extra warmth by holding him close to your body. Be cautious not to overdress your little one, as babies with extra layers (of clothes or blankets) are at high risk of overheating and SIDS.
