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? :(

Hi mama, I dressed my baby in sleeveless onesies - no socks, no mittens. CFs are great but sadly many have not moved beyond old customs. Babies need to ensure that their body temp is regulated well. I’m not sure if you use an air conditioner but if so then I guess the long sleeves are necessary. A thin Muslin swaddle is all that’s necessary.
