How should a 1-month-old baby be dressed in winter?

The golden rule when dressing a 1-month-old baby in winter is to add one more layer than what the mother would comfortably wear. So if you're wearing a sweater and a cardigan, add one more layer for your baby.
A practical guide:
- Inner layer: A cotton, moisture-wicking onesie or romper.
- Middle layer: Fleece or wool for warmth and insulation.
- Outer layer: A windproof, thick romper or quilted sleep sack (if going outside).
During sleep: To reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), use a sleep sack; avoid heavy blankets, quilts, or pillows. The room temperature should be 20-22°C. Check your baby's neck: if it's warm and dry, clothing is adequate; if sweating, remove a layer; if cool, add a layer.
When going out: Do not put your baby in a car seat or stroller in heavy clothing—the safety belt won't be tight. Instead, dress in thin layers and add a windproof cover or quilted sleep sack on top.
Caution: Your baby's head loses a large portion of body heat; wear a thin hat outside and remove it during sleep. If there's a thick coat/romper in the car, always remove it and fasten the safety belt directly to your baby's body.
