How should a 1-year-old baby be dressed?
⚡ Short answer: Dress your 1-year-old in layered, movement-freeing cotton clothing using the "one layer more than you" rule, and check the back of the neck.

I wonder most about this during my first year of motherhood: How should a 1-year-old baby be dressed?

1-year-old is when your baby is really mobile. The "one layer more than me" rule still works: dress your baby one thin/thick layer more than what you're wearing based on room temperature.
Layering in cool weather works best—thin body suit, cotton jumpsuit on top, and a vest or thin fleece if going outside. This way movement isn't restricted, and you can remove layers as he warms up. Babies warm up faster than adults; checking the back of the neck is enough—if it's warm and sweaty, time to remove a layer.
In summer, light, open-colored cotton clothes and sun-protective hat matter. In winter, fleece or wool jumpsuits, gloves, and a hat work.
Remember, comfort and freedom of movement for a 1-year-old is much more valuable than being tightly dressed.
