Coat for baby while BW?

Hi ladies!  I am pregnant with our first due the end of November.  We live in MN, so for sure will have cold weather right away.  I know for the carseat, I can use a fleece car seat cover, but what did you put your LO in when you BW outside in cold weather?  Did you get a bunting?  If so, where?

    When I BW my baby last winter I just wore a larger coat myself and wore it over my sling and zipped her up in it. She always just had her head poking out and I told everyone I was smuggling her in. LOL, sorry got a little remniscent there.

    I just put a blanket over her. We were never outside for a long period of time...just the time it took to walk from the car to the store and back, so I didn't worry about it too much.

    When they are really little (til about 4-5 months) you can easily just zip up your regular coat over them and the carrier no problem, just leave the top open a bit. 

    Later in the winter you may need a fleece bunting if you are going to be out for prolonged periods but honestly between your body heat and theirs and the clothes and the carrier you will be pretty snuggly.  If you are going to be outside a lot Colombia makes an awesome fleece bunting (Snow Bunny I think)

    This past winter we invested in a Deluxe Kindercoat that I found on the FSOT board on thebabywearer and just put that on over both of us with DD in a light fleece jacket and it kept us both nice and toasty.  Awesome investment once you decide if you are a long term babywearer.  Not something to invest in right off the bat until you figure out your babywearing style and if LO likes being worn etc.

    I just used my maternity coat while wearing DS in our Ergo.  It worked well enough.

    I didn't want to spend the money on a bunting, so when he got too big for me to zip my coat, I just wore it backwards. I looked silly, but it was fine for running into a store.

    When DS was little, I just wore my maternity winter coat over both of us. This year I got a Suse's Kindercoat to accomdate both baby and pregnant belly.
