Unlike adults, babies do not shiver to stay warm when they\u2019re cold, so properly dressing babies warm for winter is an important parental responsibility. Not enough warm baby clothes will result in a chilled baby. Too many clothes and baby can overheat. Here\u2019s some advice for dressing babies warm for winter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Layering for Warmth<\/b><\/h2>\n

Layering is essential for dressing babies in the winter, as you can remove or add layers as you go in and out of doors. As a rule, the baby should wear one more layer of clothing than the clothing you\u2019re wearing. So, if you\u2019re wearing a sweater, pants, and winter coat, your baby might wear a long-sleeved bodysuit, pants and sweater, with a snowsuit or layer of blankets on top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Socks, booties, mittens, and snug-fitting hats with chin straps help baby stay warm as well. When layering, remember stroller covers count as a layer, as they keep the wet and cold out while trapping the baby\u2019s body heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Toes, Tummy, and Back Test<\/b><\/h2>\n

Not sure if you\u2019ve used enough warm baby clothes? Try the toes, tummy, and back test. When you come in from the cold, feel these three areas. The toes should be cool but not cold, and tummy and back warm but not sweaty. If the back is sweaty or the baby feels hot, you\u2019re using too many layers.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the toes, back, and tummy are all cold, the baby is seriously chilled. Hold the little one close for warmth, and add layers when the baby is warm again. If a baby ever fails to warm up, has swollen pink hands and feet, or seems lethargic and droopy, he may be suffering from hypothermia. Seek medical attention immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter Woolies and Car Seats<\/b><\/h2>\n

Dressing babies warm for winter can include so many layers they interfere with car seat safety: the extra layers of snowsuits and blankets can leave the seat straps too loose. Instead of strapping a multilayered baby into the seat, it\u2019s safer to take off the snowsuit, strap her in, and then snug blankets around her after she\u2019s safely buckled in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside? Layer off<\/b><\/h2>\n

Babies have difficulty regulating their own body temperature, and are as susceptible to overheating as they are to the cold. When you get inside, remove a few layers of clothing and check baby\u2019s temperature before adding more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dressing babies warm for winter isn\u2019t really that difficult. Once you get a feel for how many layers you need, you and your little one will be snug and cozy as you go in and out this winter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
