Would that be too hotter or you might need some more this question can be only answered when you start with a minimal level of layered clothes.

- Step 2: When you are about to go out now and it’s really chilly outside then you can definitely go for a different type of cute and colorful pullovers that could match the baby’s personality as well, and if it isn’t cold much outside then you can simply go for a basic sweater with a woolen beanie or cap with a pair of gloves and a pair of socks which can keep your little one warm from top to bottom.
