Baby sleep clothing is really a fine balance between safety and comfort. The most important rule: your baby's head must never be covered and loose bedding like blankets should not be used—the AAP is clear on this.
In practice, the safest option is a sleep sack. A sleep sack in a TOG value suited to room temperature keeps your baby at a consistent temperature through the night. A thin cotton sack for summer (0.5-1 TOG) and a thicker one for winter (2.5 TOG) is enough. Always put a thin, cotton onesie underneath—ideal for keeping your baby comfortable without overheating.
If you choose pajamas, flame-resistant (non-fire retardant) ones that aren't too tight but not loose either, in cotton, are good. Make sure zippers and buttons are secure.
Keeping room temperature around 20-22°C is also important—you can check if your baby is too cold or hot by feeling the back of their neck. Cold hands and feet are normal.
