Best Clothing Tips for Dressing Your Baby by Season

Keep your little one comfortable all year round.

Dressing a baby for the right temperature can feel tricky — especially in the UK where the weather changes so frequently! Here's our seasonal guide to help you keep your baby comfortable and safe throughout the year.

Spring & Autumn: Layering is Key

Use thin, breathable layers that can be easily added or removed. A cotton bodysuit, a light knit cardigan, and a waterproof outer layer covers most UK spring and autumn days.

Summer: Light & Breathable

Choose 100% cotton or bamboo fabrics which are breathable and gentle on sensitive skin. A sun hat is essential for outdoor time. Avoid overdressing — babies can overheat quickly.

Winter: Warm but Not Overheated

A general rule is to dress your baby in one more layer than you're wearing. Soft fleece suits, thermal vests, and cosy sleep bags are perfect for winter nights. Always remove extra layers when going indoors.
