Hello! I am due Nov. 1 and I am trying to figure out what kind of "winter clothes" our baby will need. I see alot of down onesies. I am wondering if anyone has any advice as to what kind of things you would need to get to prepare for winter with a newborn. Thanks!!
Thanks Candy for posting this question. I have just been starting to think about the same thing. I am due on Dec 4th and live about an hour north of NYC. If it's anything like last winter I know it's going to be freezing and want to be prepared. I'll be watching for the responses you receive and any suggestions everyone has.
It depends on whether you will do a lot of stroller walking with your newborn. If so, you will need warm stroller gear like the Urban Bundle Me. It has a wind proof outside. Also, you would need a warm snowsuit that fits the baby well. We have a pretty suburban lifestyle in that we drive a lot of places but we went to New Hampshire when DD was 6 months old and it was freezing out. I layered her with a fleece snowsuit type thing from LLBean and then a regular Gap snowsuit. She had regular clothes on underneath.
I think the key is the same for the baby as it is for us - layer upon layer.
