Top tips for keeping baby warm in colder weather!
- How many layers? Usually a good rule is one more than what you are wearing
- Use flannel sheets and a sleeping bag.. combine with a room thermometer so you know which level/grade sleeping bag to put Bub in
- beanies, soft caps and mittens make cute warm accessories when getting out and about - as fresh air is still good for both you and baby
- Jumpsuits (with or without built in mittens and booties) are a fabulous quick and easy warm option as a base layer under either clothes or a sleeping bag.
