Baby Boys' Hooded Jumpsuit, Warm Newborn Romper

Newborn dressing should be uncomplicated. This hooded jumpsuit is a single warm piece with a hood attached, which is about as few decisions as a 4am change can involve.

Why it suits a newborn

• One piece to put on, rather than a top, trousers and a hat
• Attached hood for head coverage that cannot be misplaced
• Warm construction for a newborn who cannot yet regulate temperature well
• Simple opening designed for changes without full removal
• Cut with room to move rather than fitted close

Keeping a newborn comfortable

Newborns lose heat quickly but overheat easily too. A good rule is one more layer than you are comfortable in, and check the back of the neck rather than hands or feet, which run cool normally. Wash before first wear, cool cycle, low heat drying.

Quick answers

How do I tell if my baby is too warm? Feel the back of the neck or the chest. Hands and feet feel cool on most babies regardless of how warm they are.

Is the hood needed indoors? Generally not. Indoor hats and hoods can contribute to overheating, so keep them for going out.

Will it fit a very small newborn? Cut varies by size. Check the size guide, and remember most newborns grow through the smallest size quickly.
