: I almost feel like a dufus for asking this... but I am not sure I dressing my son right for the weather. It's getting warm and muggy here but he's in air conditioning a lot. I have to take him to MIL house and bring him home so he's outside too. I usually am cold all of the time, so I overdress myself. So I think I dress him by the way I feel. But sometimes he seems sweaty. I'm afraid to overdress him and I am afraid to underdress him and I don't know what to put him in half the time. Help.

I believe in dressing babies a little cooler than adults because babies circulations are faster than adults which makes them hot. I agree with Steve about removing his socks. I did the same with my babies and was very helpful.
