D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Newborn babies need to be kept warm. So in cold weather it can be easiest to dress your baby in layers. Then you can take layers off when you’re at the shops or in other warm places. As a guide, dress your baby in the same number of layers you’re wearing, plus one extra layer for warmth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dress Your Baby in Layers "The bottom layer can be snug, like leggings and a bodysuit. On top of that, you can put another layer of pants and a long sleeve shirt. Finish up with a jacket, hat, mittens, and warm booties to keep hands and feet warm, ” says Dr. Broder.

Detailed explanation-3: -All you need for the first few weeks are enough clothes to make sure your baby will be warm and clean. You’ll probably need: 6 stretch suits (all-in-ones) for both day and night, or 4 stretch suits and 2 nightdresses (nighties) for the night – use socks or bootees with the nightie if it’s cold.
