Keeping your baby cozy and warm this winter

There’s no denial to the fact that every parent wants to do the best for their kids.  New Mom’s need to be even more considerate with all the precautions they must take for the wellbeing of their babies and themselves.  So in the chilling winters but is best for our children and little babies?  What is the best to wear and what is not? The bottom line is keeping the baby warm and cozy! Smartbaby.in brings you some cool tips on winterizing your baby and using cloth diapers to help you get through the winters smoothly.

How to sense if you baby is too cold:
Often kids have cooler hands and cheeks.  It’s best to feel the baby’s neck and make sure there is good warmth in your baby’s core temperature. Be sure to protect and cover your baby’s hands and head from the cold so you prevent heat loss from their little bodies.

Why use cloth diapers in the Winter?
Cloth diapers, like our Flip cloth diapering system, come with replaceable diaper inserts that can be removed and tossed into a wet bag to wash later.  You can reuse the cloth diaper cover so it makes diaper changes really simple during those cold months of the year.   Secondly, a stay dry cloth diaper can help protect your baby from chill by keeping your baby dry naturally.
Don’t forget to use bumGenius baby legs with your cloth diapers as a great accessory. Your baby will be the best dressed and with a great color selection to nicely coordinate with your baby’s diaper.   Keep those legs warm and crawling knees protected. 

How many layers of clothes must you put on to the baby?
Normally, you get a fair sense of what should the baby be wearing, but if you sense the temperature dropping, the baby must at all-time be wearing one more layer of clothing than you are.
Let’s talk about the covering the baby while asleep, give up on the loose blankets.  Babies love to be swaddled and it reminds them of the comfort they felt in the womb.  When it gets cold and you want to take care of them along with keeping them comfortable.  Cover your baby with an extra blanket if you have windy environment around but just be aware to not overheat your baby and bundle them too much.  Remember hats are a great way to keep the body heat in.


That’s all we have for now on winterizing your baby.  So stay warm and have a cozy nice winter with your little one.
