I'm struggling with how to dress this kid. With air conditioning, I feel like I need to make him a little warmer so I've been doing a short sleeve onesie, pants, socks and then I usually keep an A&A swaddle draped over him inside. How do I know if he's comfortable, though? Is that too much/ not enough?
FIL (pediatrician) just says if you're comfortable, they're fine. If you're sort of "cool", he advises one extra layer (either a light blanket or long sleeves/pants), but says either way, they're fine. Why are pediatricians so nonchalant about everything???
I'm a FTM so take my passed along advice for what it's worth, but I did get quite the eye roll and mini lecture from him about this when I mentioned buying a room thermometer for the nursery and worrying about baby girl being cold all the time (because I'm cold all the time!).
I bought the room thermometer/humidity monitor with DS1, but in the winter. Turns out his room was 10deg colder than the rest of the upstairs in our house. (i could feel it, that's why I wanted the thermometer). Stupid poorly constructed HVAC system!
