How to Keep a Baby Warm in Winter

All parents want their babies to be comfortable. And, we don't want them to be cold in the winter. Since babies lack a large body mass to help keep them warm in the cold winter months, it's vital that we do all we can to make them comfortable. Here's some ways to keep your baby warm this winter.

      Dress your baby in appropriate clothing. This means put a jacket or coat, hat, mittens, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt on your infant. You might want her to wear a sweater, winter boots or a snowsuit depending on the particular winter climate in your area.

      Put your baby in one more layer of clothing than what you are wearing. For example, if you are comfortable in a long-sleeved t-shirt, you may want to put your baby in a long-sleeved shirt plus one extra layer underneath. Plain onesies or thin t-shirts are good for underlayers for babies.

      Let your baby sleep in a SleepSack by Halo Innovations, which you'll use instead of a blanket when your baby is asleep in her crib. SleepSacks, which come in cotton or fleece, are zippered blankets that a baby can wear. They eliminate any suffocation hazard from using blankets in the crib and keep the baby warm all night long.
