Choosing Outdoor Clothes for a Baby

Babies look really cute in sweat tops, cardigans and tank tops too. Next has a great variety of warm clothes as does Mothercare so it’s well worth having a look at their websites. Igloo Kids and The Kids Window also offer a variety of dungarees, trousers and warm all-in-ones that will help keep baby warm in the winter.

Babies need to be kept snug when you are ready to take them out of doors in the winter months. Fleecy, waterproof, all-in ones with attachable bootees and mittens are great news for the winter months. Togz clothing really hits the mark when you need outdoor clothing that will keep your baby warm and dry. Mothercare has great all-in-one outfits ready for the autumn months.

When you put your baby into an all-in-one just make sure that they are not wearing too much underneath – the fleecy lining of these outfits can make baby really hot so always check your baby’s back and forehead to check and see just how warm they are and always remove the clothing when you go indoors.

Baby-O, the organic clothing provider for babies and toddlers offers a beautifully soft merino wool tank top, cardigan and sweatpants to keep very young babies warm. The tank top is designed to be worn on top of a long sleeve body suit for added heat insulation.

Babies and hats in winter

Hats are essential for preventing heat loss from the head and keeping the fontanelles covered. As a new baby's head is so large in proportion to the rest of their body, the potential for heat loss is great. Hats are also vital for preventing ear infections.

Babies look so cute in winter hats but it can be a real battle keeping them on. The best winter hats have velcro straps that mean you can keep the hat firmly on baby’s head. Beanie hats too from the likes of Bob and Blossom and No Added Sugar are also great at keeping your baby warm. Mothercare also in the autumn and winter months introduce great hat ranges and mitten ranges of clothes to help give you peace of mind.

As with adults much of the heat that baby’s lose is through the top of their heads. So make sure you that if you do need to go outside when it is particularly chilly, baby’s head is protected.

Hats from Baby-O, an organic led baby company has a wonderful range of the most amazing organic hats made of the softest 100 per cent Egyptian organically grown cotton. Baby-O hats are lovely and come in a huge range of designs and patterns including a range called mustang which has stripy ears attached to the hat if you are so inclined. Baby-O also produces a beautiful merino beanie hat produced from organic merino wool which insulates and breathes and is soft and non-irritating.
