Regarding how much the body of a newborn child should be covered and how much clothes should be worn in winter, Dr. Mohit Sethi advises that the child should wear one more layer or clothes than the number of layers that you wear in winter.

If you wear two clothes in cold weather, then dress your child in three clothes. Always keep the child's head covered. The baby gets warmth most quickly from his head. Apart from this, when the child starts getting cold, the first thing he starts feeling is his feet.

Try touching the baby's legs and stomach with the back of your hands. If the child's feet are cold but the stomach is warm, it means that the child has started to cool down. In such a situation, make the child wear a little more clothes and keep the temperature of the room increased.

The mother can also provide skin-to-skin warmth to the baby. For this, the child can be hugged to the chest to protect him from cold. The doctor further says that if you make the child wear more clothes than necessary, the child will start sweating internally. This will keep the child warm and hence the child's weight will not increase. In such a situation, avoid dressing the child in too few or too many clothes.
