This is how you dress your baby in the carrier in winter
Many parents ask themselves: "What should I dress my child in when carrying a baby?" We'll give you a few valuable tips:
The best heater is you
The current weather makes us wonder every day what clothes are suitable so that my baby doesn't freeze while being carried, but also doesn't overheat. Basically, you should know that you and your baby warm up with a body temperature of 37 degrees. You are the best heater.
A baby belongs under your own jacket
To retain heat, a baby should be carried under its own jacket. The baby carrier also replaces a layer of clothing, so a long-sleeved bodysuit and a long-sleeved shirt are sufficient underneath. Two layers on the legs are also sufficient.
Cuffs are an alternative
The diaper makes the crotch the warmest part of the body and this can sometimes be uncomfortable for your baby. Therefore, avoid using many layers of fabric and instead use leg warmers or wool socks that only reach the groin. The leg warmers can also serve as sun protection in the summer and can also be used for the arms.
The feet need space
If you are considering tights, make sure there is enough room around your feet. If necessary, choose a larger size. Rompers or pajamas should also offer enough room around your feet, because the squatting shortens the trouser legs and causes what is known as flooding . You can also warm your feet well with lambskin shoes.
Wear over your own jacket
If wearing it under your jacket is not an option for you, it is best to dress your baby in a boiled wool suit. This has the property of regulating temperature and is a better choice than a polyester snowsuit, which does not retain heat. The right headgear is also important in any case and should not be underestimated, as a lot of heat can be lost through the fontanelle.
protection against moisture
If it rains or snows, you can use our rain cover . This protects the baby carrier from getting wet. It fits all standard baby carriers and has practical pockets for your hands.
And if you are very unsure, it is best to measure your temperature before and after leaving the house. A body temperature between 36.5 degrees and 37.5 degrees is optimal.
