FAQs 

Q: Should a newborn wear socks to bed?

A: Not necessary if baby is in a footed romper. Focus on chest warmth, not hands and feet.

Q: Is swaddling safe for newborn sleep?

A: Yes—if baby is placed on their back and the swaddle is snug around the torso but loose at the hips. If not swaddling, a bodysuit + romper is a safe combo.

Q: What is the safest newborn sleepwear in the U.S.?

A: A fitted bodysuit or romper made from organic cotton, paired with a wearable blanket or sack instead of loose bedding.

Q: What should my newborn wear in summer?

A: In warmer U.S. homes (above 72°F), a short-sleeve bodysuit or just a diaper under a lightweight sleep sack works well.
