Should a 3-month-old sleep without socks at night?

Whether to use socks for a 3-month-old at night depends on room temperature. General pediatric recommendation is to keep the baby's room between 20-22°C. At this temperature, if the baby's feet feel cool but the nape/chest area is warm and not sweaty, sleeping without socks is fine. The baby's hands and feet, since the circulatory system hasn't fully matured, can be cooler than the rest of the body — this alone doesn't mean they're cold.
Most reliable check: put your hand on the baby's nape or back. If it's warm and dry, sleeping without socks is perfectly appropriate. Don't overdress the baby just because their feet are cool; this increases the risk of overheating. If room temperature is below 20°C, light cotton socks are preferable.
