Blankets to make the stroller a comfy place

Talking about layers... Muslin blankets are great for creating a warm, and cozy environment for your little one. Just make sure to always keep the airways free, so your baby can keep on sleeping or exploring in a safe way.

A diaper bag to bring everything you need

Regardless of whether you need hot cocoa for you or extra layers for your little one, a diaper bag is perfect for a day in the cold. Two must-haves for the bag are a baby carrier and an all-weather cover. Carrying skin-to-skin in a baby carrier, or wrap, will help transfer your own body heat to the baby. Meaning, babywearing will help to keep your baby warm when they want to be close to you.

Don't fear the cold - your baby can take it

Babies are more sturdy than you might think. There’s no point to stay home if it’s cold outside. Don’t be afraid to take long walks and go on winter adventures together. Just make sure you’re well-equipped for a day in the snow.

To make sure your baby is warm enough, check their tummy - if it feels too cold, add another layer or take a break for a hot drink.
