Here's why baby carriers are so great in winter

There are quite a few uses for a baby carrier. Many parents cannot live without them due to their wide range of benefits, including staying warm in winter.

It may be hard to know how to dress your child in the winter. But one of the benefits of the carrier is how warm it keeps children (and parents!) in winter.

Think layers! Start with one, or more, thin layers under the carrier and then have an outer jacket on top of it. You and your baby work together as an oven with your body heat warming each other.

Our Najell Baby Carrier is without unnecessary fabric and large buckles. Meaning it's flexible to wear under a winter jacket.

Basically, the baby's body sits against yours, meaning they share your body heat. Plus via the back of the baby carrier and your outer jacket (if you can snap it around the carrier) protects against wind and cold from outside. And if necessary, you can drape a muslin blanket over the carrier for extra warmth.

As always, when you have your baby in a baby carrier, make sure the child's airways are free and that no fabric hangs over or covers the mouth or nose.
