❄️ CARRYING BABIES IN THE COLD ❄️ It’s getting cold out there 🥶 But my biggest FAQ at the moment from new mums is “What should I dress my baby in?”
❄️ When you’re using a baby carrier in cold weather, babies can still get rather warm, so what they wear isn’t the same as when they’re in a pram.
❄️ Layers of thin, removable clothing are best. Especially if you’re in and out of shops or warm buildings. Similar to baby car seat safety, avoid bulky or padded clothing, coats or snowsuits.
❄️ Being in a baby carrier automatically gives your baby the equivalent of 2 layers of clothing. Simply add socks, booties, gloves or hats to your baby to keep those limbs and extremities toasty and warm.
❄️ A simple blanket can also be draped over the sides of the carrier too, and easily removed without disturbing your little one. As always, be careful not to cover baby’s face. And my personal fave option is to simply wear an oversized cardigan, jacket or coat and then wrap this around you and your baby, and cocoon them in a lovely hug 🥰
❄️ Do you have any questions or concerns about using baby carriers in cold weather? Please share in the comments, or if you’d rather DM me in private, I’d be more than happy to help 🙂
❄️ You can buy special babywearing coats or covers and there’s nothing wrong with these, but they aren’t essential and you
