For sleep I always used the short sleeves and baby either wears it alone with a nappy in very hot temperatures, or underneath a sleepsuit in very cold temperatures. These usually fasten with poppers.

During the day open the windows first thing in the morning, when the temperature outside should be cooler. Once it starts to heat up outside (around 11am) then close the windows and the blinds or curtains to keep the heat of the day out. Parenting is a steep learning curve and how to dress my baby for sleep was definitely one of the number one things I stressed about in the early days. When keeping your baby cool in a heatwave, you can gradually remove layers of clothing as well as the blankets, or reduce the Tog rating of your baby’s sleeping bag, to keep baby comfy.Here’s what your baby should be wearing to bed to ensure a safe and comfortable night’s sleep, whatever the weather. How to dress your baby for bed We’ve researched the latest advice and guidance from health and parenting experts such as the NHS and Lullaby Trust, along with real-life experiences from the Mumsnet community to bring you this ultimate guide to baby sleep. In winter, the biggest challenge can be when the temperature drops in the early hours, particularly if your central heating isn’t on overnight. This can cause your baby to become cold and wake prematurely as a result.

You can swaddle your baby for the first two to four months of their life (before they start to roll over). The NHS advice is to not add any blankets to a baby who has already been swaddled. So consider how many layers you are wearing to remain comfortable, then add one more layer for your baby. As parents we may also worry about our baby getting too cold, which could mean they are more likely to wake up due to discomfort. When it comes to dressing your baby for sleep, using a room thermometer and following the sleeping bag guidance about TOG levels is a great place to start. Beyond that, you should dress your baby in layers that can be easily adapted to their surroundings - adding or removing a layer as required.This is in part because the warnings about overheating are scary. And also because you can’t have a discussion with your baby about whether they’re comfortable or not. It’s almost impossible to predict the UK weather, so the reality is that regardless of the season, you can expect to experience some significant temperature variation in your home. If you're using a sleeping bag and feel like your baby is cold, add an extra layer of clothing – but not extra blankets. My baby was born in the middle of the heatwave last year she mostly slept in just a vest or sometimes just her nappy. They’ll let you know if they get cold - if you're up for night feeds you can always adjust too if the temp cools down overnight?” - Advice from Mumsnet user MarceyMc How to dress baby for sleep in winter
