Ideal clothing for winter

Welcoming a new baby for the winter season can raise many questions about how to dress him or her and maintain proper body temperature. And as he grows up, it will continue to be a constant question every winter. Here's a little bit about a little one's needs in winter.

From newborn to three months of age, your little one will have little fat and movement, which will cause his body to lose heat easily. But this does not mean that he should be kept extra warm, the ideal is to put on one more garment than the ones you are wearing.

Dressing your newborn in clothing that is easily accessible for diaper changes is advisable to prevent your little one from losing heat. Practical clothes and layers will be your best friends, as they will allow you to adjust the need for warmth according to the conditions of the place where your little one is.

For example, if you visit the park, it's likely that at some point the sun will come out and the coat will be too much for your baby, and when you take it off, he'll still have a couple more layers. The material of your little one's clothes is also important, cotton is ideal for the first layer, as it will allow them to breathe and at the same time absorb moisture from the skin.

 

 

As your little one grows, they will be able to regulate their temperature more easily, even so, it is important to keep the same rule of putting on one more garment than you. It is likely that if your little one has a lot of movement he will experience heat, you can check his temperature by touching his neck, as his hands and face may be cold while the rest of his body keeps warm.

 

Here are some clothes that are ideal for protecting your little one during the winter season.
