Our March baby wore footed sleepers long sleeved to sleep year-round in SoCal, until she started walking. She was always fine. If it were too hot, we'd have to A/C on and still wanted her arms and legs covered.

My LO was born in August and wore them at night when she slept in the bed with me. Otherwise, just a swaddle blanket and onesie... but our summers are super hot. Like 100+ degrees. During the day she just wore short sleeve onsie and pants or creepers.

I will always use jammies with sleeves, until babe can use blankets. I don't think I'd be comfortable without sleeves.

With AC on, for sure longsleeved.

Eh we were the odd ones and had a March baby who wasnt in a footed sleeper ever until he was no longer swaddled, and then we switched to fleece sleepers for bedtime only. The swaddle just made him way too hot. We used long sleeved onesies and pants in march (pants off when swaddled) and by may had switched to short sleeved onesies and no pants or short sleeved rompers. I personally hate sleepers. I think they are a PITA for diaper checks and changes and much prefer a onesie. But i know I am in the minority on HB. For a summer baby though, I feel like it would be unbearable to wear a sleeper all day, unless you never leave the house and are constantly in ac. I live in the south though with 90-100 degree summers.

You can get really thin light weight long sleeved sleepers at Target. I think they are Gerber brand, sold in 2 or 3 packs and pretty cheap. I used those all summer and they were perfect. They do run a bit small if you get them.

It was over 100 degrees when DS was born but our AC was blasting all the time and he was under 7lbs so he did and continues to live in footed zip up longsleeve cotton sleepers.

I had an April baby and she wore sleepers the first month and we didn't use them again until late October. She wore short sleeve onesies and was swaddled (and then sleep sack). If anything, I'd maybe use long-sleeve onesies (if they're in a sleep sack with arms out) but I think the footed sleepers would be too much. But she seemed overheated in footed sleepers + swaddle or sack.

During the day she never wore pants or sleepers. Too hot! I had some footed sleepers because everyone said you needed them. Complete waste of $$ for me other than her NB and 9mo sizes.

My August baby wore light cotton long sleeve sleepers- she was inside in the AC most of the time, and they were light enough that she didn't overheat when we were outside.
