How to Layer a Knitted Zipped Jacket for Baby

Quick Answer

Start with a soft cotton onesie, add a mid-layer like a long-sleeve bodysuit or leggings, then finish with the Knitted Zipped Jacket. The zip front makes dressing quick and the oversized fit allows comfortable movement.

Step-by-Step Layering Guide

1. Start with a soft base layer: Put baby in a cotton or bamboo onesie or bodysuit. Make sure it fits snugly but not tight. Avoid bulky seams that could press into baby's skin. Common mistake: using a thick base layer that adds too much bulk under the jacket. Stick with a fitted, lightweight top.
2. Add a mid-layer for extra warmth: If the weather is cold, add a long-sleeve bodysuit, leggings, or a thin sweater. The mid-layer should be close-fitting so the jacket can go over it easily. Checkpoint: the mid-layer should not restrict baby's arm movement. If baby's arms are pulled tight, size up or choose a thinner layer.
3. Zip on the Knitted Zipped Jacket: Place the jacket over baby's head (the hood helps guide it on) and zip up. The oversized fit allows room for the layers underneath. Adjust the hood if needed. Common mistake: zipping the jacket too tight. Leave a little slack so baby can move freely and breathe comfortably.
4. Check for comfort and safety: Feel the back of baby's neck to check temperature. If it's warm or sweaty, remove a layer. Make sure the jacket doesn't ride up or bunch around baby's chin. Checkpoint: never put baby to sleep in a jacket with a hood or any loose strings. Remove the jacket for naps and use a sleep sack instead.
