This is probably a silly question, but what does a baby wear under a sleep sack? Do we put him in one of those long sleeve zip-up outfits w/ the footies? Long sleeved onesies?

the advice we got from a L&D nurse during our baby basic class was:
take whatever you are wearing and add one layer for baby. so for sleeping if you're comfortable temperature wise in pants and a long sleeve shirt, add the sleep sack. if it's hot and you wear much less, then baby would probably be fine in a thin long sleeve/panted onsie with a sleep sack over it.
she cautioned us to not let baby get over heated and to not use blankets or put any stuffed animals in the crib with baby.
If it is a light weight sleep sack, like the muslin aden and anais ones, I was thinking I'd use a lightweight footed sleeper. I also have a few fleece sleep sacks, so if I am using that, I might use something lighter weight, like just a onesie. We keep our house pretty cool at night, but I agree with PPs that overheating is generally a bigger concern than being too chilly so I don't want to overdress LO.

If it's a fleece sleep sack I'll just have him in a onsie - if it's a thinner material like the t-shirt-y cotton one I'll have him in one of the sleep gowns under the swaddler/sleep sack.

We would always put DS in a onesie, a footie pj (with socks) and a sleepsack. If it was a fleecy sleepsack then I'd put him in a lighter pj, if it was the lighter sleepsack then I'd put him in a fleecy pj. Depended on the temperature that evening too.
