4.  Unless the temperature is hot, > 75 degrees F, your baby will need several layers to stay warm. Generally dressing the baby in an undershirt and a diaper covered by a dressing gown or pajamas and then wrapped in a light blanket will do.  Usually dressing the infant in one more layer than you are wearing is a good rule to use.

5.  Place your infant on her/his back to sleep.  This position decreases the risk for SIDS.

6.  Breastfeed your baby.  This provides the best immune protection and nutrition for your infant with the least risk for contamination or mistakes in preparation that may happen when using artificial breast milk substitutes.
