Summer Baby Essentials for Newborns

Having a baby in summer brings many advantages. But when it comes to clothing, there are a few things to keep in mind so your newborn is optimally protected and comfortable. With this checklist, you'll have everything you need for a summer baby ready to go.

Summer Clothing for Your Newborn

Here's the optimal clothing list for your summer baby:

• 3 short-sleeve bodysuits: Choose breathable materials like cotton.
• Triangle scarves/bibs: Practical as drool and spit-up cloths.
• 3–5 long-sleeve bodysuits: Especially important outside, to protect sensitive skin from sun exposure.
  Tip: Wrap bodysuits make changing significantly easier.
• 5–6 rompers: For plenty of freedom of movement and comfort.
• 2 thin cotton hats or baby bonnets: To protect the sensitive head.
• 6 pairs of thin socks: To keep little feet warm.
• 3 T-shirts: For warm days — light and comfortable.
• 3 long-sleeve shirts: Especially useful outside.
• 1–2 sweaters: In case temperatures do drop noticeably.
• 1–2 thin little jackets: For cooler evenings or early-morning walks.

Sleepwear for Summer Babies

The right sleepwear depends on the room temperature:

• 4–5 sets of pajamas: Light cotton models.
• 2 summer sleeping bags: Unwadded and pleasantly thin.
• At night above 30 degrees: A diaper is often completely sufficient.
• At night above 26 degrees: A short-sleeve bodysuit offers light coverage.
• At night at 22 to 23 degrees: Combine pajamas with a summer sleeping bag.
