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 dress them in short sleeves, sleeveless or no clothes. SG weather is too hot, my kids sweat super easily, even without clothes n max fan speed still sweat. I swaddle during naps n sleep but when awake remove swaddle, mittens n socks. Initially my mum also kept nagging that baby will catch a cold etc then I showed her my kids profusely sweating even when dressed lightly. My girl even got bacterial infection on her neck from heat rash.

Understand how u feel totally! Do what's best for your situation ya :) But SG weather is really super hot, super easy to overheat, get heat rash all those kind of things. Swaddling is not really necessary/unnecessary, more of whether your baby prefers it or not, u can try just dressing baby in short sleeves n swaddle or no swaddle if long sleeves if they insist
