How much clothes should a baby wear when sleeping in winter? It is best to take the baby's body temperature as the standard. Mothers should pay more attention at night, get up more often in the middle of the night to check on the baby, pay attention to the baby's body temperature at any time, and then add or remove clothes appropriately. You can touch the baby's vest, palms and soles of the feet to determine whether they are warm. When the baby is sleeping, take off the outer clothes to make the baby more comfortable.

3. Pay attention to the indoor temperature

Babies often have restless sleep in winter, which may be caused by the heating temperature being set too high. Parents should pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature. Generally, around 20 degrees is more suitable for babies to sleep.

4. Sleeping with windows open helps you sleep

Nowadays, parents think that sleeping in a room with closed doors and windows in winter can prevent the baby from catching a cold. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Because the air in a closed room is very turbid, the oxygen content is very low, but the carbon dioxide content is very high. Such an environment is extremely harmful to the baby's physical development. When the baby is sleeping, it is advisable to open the bedroom window to let fresh air continuously enter the room, maintain a relatively stable room temperature, and promote the baby's healthy sleep.
