I just bought 2 in case of emergency. The mitten and botties are those with holes, to avoid him accidentally scratching himself. For the hat, it was advised for to avoid sun contact. If it's too hot, will definitely not use them ya :) Btw, Eva is such a cutey pie!

Covering it risks overheating your baby unnecessarily. Our weather is so hot...in fact, I just bundled Eva in a long-sleeved romper (no socks or booties or hat or mittens) and a cotton blanket I made when I left - the weather then in Switzerland was a chilly and windy 26°C.
