In hot, humid rooms dress baby in a single loose layer, like our muslin cotton onesie or set. As it cools in the evening or under air conditioning, add a second breathable muslin layer, such as pajamas. Muslin's open weave lets air move, so babies stay comfortable without overheating.

We get asked all the time what our own kids wear to sleep when the room is warm. Our answer is simple: start with one light layer of muslin cotton and add another only if the room actually feels cool. There's no single number that works for every house, so we dress by feel and check the back of the neck instead.
One simple piece with less fabric than a full outfit, our go-to for hot, sticky afternoons and warm overnight rooms.
A separate top and bottom you can mix depending on how warm the room feels, handy when the temperature swings through the day.
Full coverage top and bottom, good for evenings once the room cools down or the air conditioning kicks in.
Not on its own, no, but if a room runs cool we just add a second muslin layer, like our pajamas, rather than switching to a heavier fabric.
Feel the back of the neck or upper back. If it's damp or hot, remove a layer. If it feels cool, add one.
