What Should Babies Wear to Sleep? A Season-by-Season Guide

Whether you’re bringing home a newborn or chasing a wiggly toddler to bed, one question always comes up:
“What should my baby wear to sleep?”

From chilly Maine winters to muggy summer nights, dressing your baby for sleep can feel like a guessing game. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back (and your baby’s belly and toes covered). Here’s our simple, season-by-season guide to choosing the perfect baby sleepwear.

 


 

🌷 Spring: Layer Smart

Spring nights can be unpredictable. One evening it’s warm and breezy, the next it’s sweater weather again. Bamboo baby pajamas are ideal for this in-between season. They’re lightweight, breathable, and adjust to your baby’s body temperature.

Spring Sleepwear Tips:

  • Bamboo one-piece or two-piece pajamas

  • Add a light sleep sack if needed

  • Choose long sleeves for warmth without bulk

 


 

☀️ Summer: Keep it Cool

Hot summer nights call for breathable baby sleepwear that keeps your little one cool and sweat-free. Bamboo viscose naturally wicks away moisture, making it perfect for those humid Maine nights (and early morning stroller walks).

Summer Sleepwear Tips:

  • Short-sleeve bamboo pajama set or romper

  • No socks or hats—babies release heat through their heads and feet

  • Avoid heavy fabrics like fleece or flannel

 


 

🍁 Fall: Add Cozy Layers

As the air gets crisper, your baby’s bedtime routine needs a cozy refresh. Our snug-fitting bamboo pajamas are soft and stretchy, with just the right amount of warmth for autumn.

Fall Sleepwear Tips:

  • Long-sleeve bamboo pajamas with footed or two-piece styles

  • Add a mid-weight sleep sack for extra warmth

  • Keep the nursery between 68–72°F for ideal sleep

 


 

❄️ Winter: Bundle with Care

In cold Maine winters, it’s tempting to over-layer—but too much can cause overheating. The key is to layer smartly with breathable bamboo fabric and avoid bulky blankets in the crib.

Winter Sleepwear Tips:

  • Bamboo footed pajamas or long-sleeve two-piece sets

  • Add a fleece or quilted sleep sack (not loose blankets)

  • Use socks if feet tend to get cold
