What should a 1-month-old wear?: temperature first
Warmth logic matches newborns. Favor thin layers you can peel, and check the chest — not cold hands.
Hands and feet run cool — check the chest or back of the neck after about 10 minutes.
This is general dressing guidance, not medical advice. Every baby is different — for fever, premature birth, or any medical concern, follow your clinician.
Where to go next
For a specific outdoor reading, open the matching temperature band. For crib sleep, use the sleep room guides — the room, not the forecast, decides.
