Plus, to avoid the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) you need to find that balance between warm and too warm.
Some fresh air is definitely good for your baby, and as long as the weather is not too cold, a walk around in the stroller or a pram is a good idea. You can even carry your baby in a backpack. Just ensure that you notice your baby’s non-verbal signs and keep on checking the baby’s little hands and toes, ears and face and get inside comfortably if they feel chilly. Also, if the baby begins to fuss or cry after sometime, it could be a sign that the baby is feeling cold now and needs warmth. However, if your baby was a premature one or has some medical condition, do take your pediatrician’s advice on when and how long can your baby be outdoors in the cold.
All these simple tips are sure to help you bundle up your little darling properly during the cold winter season. There will be lots of people to give you advice about what is right and wrong.
