Cold winter weather is right around the corner…..at least for those of us that live in the north. So you may be wondering how to wear your baby on your winter errands and excursions.
Wraps generally have more fabric and provide more coverage for your baby. You should be able to tie your wrap around your winter coat and still be able to bundle your little one. Or if you don’t mind the bulky look, you can snuggle with your baby by wearing your jacket over both of you. You might need to borrow dads jacket for this one or you can buy a special babywearing poncho or jacket.
Remember that if you are wearing your baby under your jacket you must check that your baby is getting enough air. This is not a one time check, but something that must be done continually to make sure there is sufficient airflow.
On the other hand if you carry your baby outside of your jacket, they will get colder faster than you since they are not moving. Dress your baby appropriately for the weather. BabyLegs are a great extra layer that help protect little legs when pants ride up. Check your baby often to make sure that he/she is warm enough and limit the time you spend outside in extreme weather.
Send us your ideas and pictures for winter babywearing. I would love to share them with our readers.
