Indoor vs. Outdoor Dressing at 23 Degrees

Indoors at 23°C, your baby usually needs fewer layers than outdoors at the same temperature. There’s no wind, rain, or sun exposure, so clothing should be based on how warm the room feels—not the weather outside.

Room Temperature Clothing Guide for 23°C

At 23°C, many babies are comfortable in very simple outfits. Long sleeves are still fine for younger babies, while older babies often do well with lighter clothing and bare feet indoors.

• Base layer: diaper + breathable bodysuit
• Leg layer: light cotton pants
• Feet: barefoot is usually fine in warm rooms
• Indoors: no hat (remove hats as soon as you come inside)

Layering Guide for 23°C Indoors

Diaper: The basic base layer for all indoor outfits.

Long-sleeve bodysuit: A light, breathable option that works well for both newborns and babies at this temperature.

Light pants: Thin cotton pants add comfort without trapping heat.

Barefoot: Often ideal at 23°C indoors; feet help release excess heat.

Why this indoor outfit works

At 23°C, overheating is more common than getting cold. Keeping clothing light and breathable helps your baby regulate their temperature naturally. If the room cools down later in the evening or with air conditioning, simply add one thin layer rather than changing the whole outfit.
