Winter is a long-awaited time of the year for those who like to play snowballs, go ice skating and sledding, and just lie in the snow. However, the current winters are full of surprises: the twenty-degree frost can be replaced by a thaw, and after the slush, frosts hit again. Every day, looking out the window, parents ask themselves the question: how can you dress your baby for a walk today?
Instructions
Step 1
In the cold season, an infant walks in a stroller and practically does not move. Therefore, when collecting it for a walk, wear one layer of clothing more than an adult. First put on underwear (bodysuit or undershirt), then cotton rompers (thin overalls), or swaddle the baby in thin knitted and flannel diapers.
Step 2
Next, dress the baby, focusing on the temperature outside the window. If it is from +5 to -5 degrees outside, it is enough to put on a fleece jumpsuit or wrap the child in a fleece blanket and then put it in a fur envelope (made of natural fur, for example, sheepskin). Put on a cotton cap or scarf and a warm knitted hat on your head. The hood of the jumpsuit will protect from the wind. On the legs - woolen booties or socks.
Step 3
If the air temperature is from -5 to -10 degrees, then instead of a fleece overalls, put on an overalls on a padding polyester and also put the baby in a fur envelope. In case the weather conditions change during the walk, bring a blanket or blanket with you. The time spent on the street should not be more than 2-2.5 hours. At air temperatures below 10 degrees, it is not recommended to walk with babies.
Step 4
An older child, in the second or third year of life, actively moves and plays during a walk. Therefore, as outerwear, choose a jumpsuit for him made of a lighter material than sheepskin, but no less warm. Today, such fillers for winter children's clothing as goose down, isosoft and holofiber are relevant. At this age, a jumpsuit, consisting of pants and a jacket, is comfortable. It should be of the appropriate size, not hindering movement, but not too large in order to keep warm as much as possible. It is desirable that the upper of the jumpsuit is made of windproof and water-repellent fabric.
Step 5
Be sure to follow the same principle of layering as in the case of a baby. Underwear should be 100% cotton. Thermal underwear can also be used, especially at low temperatures. Thermal underwear will protect the child from both hypothermia and overheating. In frosty weather, put on an extra knitted or fleece jacket. At temperatures up to -5 degrees, it is enough to wear a turtleneck. Also, do not forget about warm socks on your feet and mittens or gloves on your handles.
