It’s one of the most exciting times of the year where you get to show off your little bundle of joy! Whether it be in a picture in a holiday card or in person at a party or ,best of all, at a family get together for the holidays. Dressing up your baby to be festive and just plain adorable is a lot of fun to shop for. Try and keep in mind how many different outings your baby will be making appearances at and see if he or she can’t wear the same outfit to some of the different events more than once. A great budget friendly word of advice! Have fun shopping!
With Winter just right around the corner, it’s time to Winterize Your Baby! Since babies are more susceptible to germs and even more affected by cold weather, it’s common sense to spend extra time shielding them from Old Man Winter!
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? Although it may be tempting to bundle your baby up like an Eskimo to keep out the cold, too many layers can actually be dangerous. Experts say the general rule of thumb is dressing babies with one more layer than an adult would wear. Using too many blankets can pose a suffocation hazard or for us, we often had our baby with a heat rash because he was too warm!
When it comes to car seats, bulky clothing can compromise the way straps restrain a baby, and blankets draped over the seat can just be annoying and a hassle. They blow away instantly with a gust of wind. Fortunately for us, we had newborn babies in the summer months. However, Winter season still was something we had to deal with and we are now getting ready for baby #3 to make their arrival in the middle of winter! So, we too are preparing for the cold weather. Long Sleeve Onesies
are a must for layering. Also, our babies developed eczema from the cold weather, so invest in some good Baby Moisturizing Lotion. The JJ Cole Bundle Me is a fabulous product for car seats! Below are a few items that we found necessary and made life a lot easier, all while keeping our little ones warm and comfy.
