How to dress a baby in winter?
Winter has arrived and the question of how to dress an infant in winter arises. The most important rule to keep him from overheating and cold is to dress baby in multiple layers.
1. Dress your child in multiple layers. The first layer is home clothes made of natural materials. A sleepsuit with socks or a bodysuit, trousers and socks. You can also use thermal underwear for babies. Unlike cotton, such clothes will not get wet in case of overheating, when the baby sweats.
2. The second layer is a light romper (wool, fleece) or a jumper and trousers.
3. The third layer is a romper or envelope. The romper should cover baby's hands and feet.
4 It is also better to have a blanket with you.
5. Hats. Up to 3 months it is better to put on 2 hats - a light cotton hat on the bottom and a warm winter hat on the top. If the winter hat has a cotton bottom layer sewn in, one hat will be enough. For older children, one winter hat is also enough.
6. When transporting an infant in a car, it is better to remove the top romper so that the baby does not sweat and the car seat belts fit better. If it is cold, you can cover the baby with a blanket.
7. Also refer to the temperature ranges indicated on the romper at which it is recommended to wear it.
8. For newborns, there is no need for windproof and waterproof rompers, as they are in the pram.
9. You can walk with a newborn up to a temperature is minus 15 degrees Celsius. Increase the time of walks gradually. Pay attention not only to the actual air temperature, but also to the perceived temperature. In case of wind and humidity, it may feel colder than the actual temperature.
10. If it is very cold and the weather is damp, then you can pull a light, breathable scarf or shawl over the cradle of the newborn pram, constructing a "tent". Also, in very cold weather, you can cover the cradle with an additional blanket.
