Dressing infant

Hello mamas, FTM mum here, appreciate if you can share your experience! How did you dress your newborn during the day? My CN dressed my baby in long sleeves, all swaddled up and only with lowest fan turned on. I wonder if baby will feel too warm for SG’s hot weather. CN kept saying “it’s ok”, my mum kept saying “baby cannot catch a chill”… i get it but I am concern if baby will overheat? :(

I never swaddled my baby ever since I left the hospital. It will not make a change. The weather here is hot and it will make it more uncomfortable for the baby. It is really a western practice influenced to us. But if you still wanna swaddle, maybe put baby in an airconditioned room. Observe also the difference between swaddling and not, if it makes significant changes.
