Dressing baby for Nairobi weather

Nairobi mornings can be chilly and afternoons warm, so layers beat one heavy outfit. A simple rule: dress baby in one more layer than you are wearing.

Choose soft cotton against the skin, a light cardigan or sleepsuit on top, and a hat for cool mornings. Peel layers off as the day warms up.

Check the back of baby's neck rather than their hands: warm and dry means just right, damp means too hot.
