It is during these two seasons that parents have the greatest number of questions about clothes for the baby. The weather is so contrasting that it’s hard to guess with the right kit. We will tell you how to dress your baby in spring and autumn to avoid health problems.
We are not looking at the calendar, but at the thermometer
Modern mothers often sin by over-wrapping their babies. Therefore, cases of hypothermia of children in quite adequate parents are extremely rare. Try to be guided by common sense when dressing the child, and not the season, the advice of neighbors or how other children are dressed.
If September is outside, but the thermometer is 25 degrees, then the jacket will definitely be superfluous. But frosts in March can force to get winter overalls. If you do not know how to dress a child in spring, then focus on your feelings and your own wardrobe. Wearing a larger number of layers of clothes on the baby, contrary to popular belief, is not worth it. If you are comfortable in a light jacket, then dress the baby in the same way. The exception is sedentary infants. We’ll talk about this in more detail.
We take into account the mobility of the child
A kid who walks confidently and is obliged to climb all the slides, stairs and swings during a walk has practically no chance to freeze. How to dress a child in spring or autumn when he is sufficiently mobile? At temperatures below 10 degrees, cotton with long sleeves, a thin knitted blouse, tights, panties and a jacket with a thin layer of insulation is enough. Well, of course, do not forget about the hat. At temperatures above 15 degrees, it can be very thin. If the street is cool and the wind blows, then you should give preference to a multilayer hat with a warm lining that tightly covers the ears.
For babies who sleep all in a stroller, we recommend adding one coat of clothing. Due to their immobility, the babies can become cold. Constantly check the temperature at the back of the head to assess the condition of the child. You may also need a thin plaid to protect the baby from the wind. Before dressing the child, get ready for a walk yourself. Even five minutes in full clothing at room temperature can cause the baby to sweat. But the tandem of sweat and wind is very dangerous.
I would also like to talk about the kids who are already leaving their stroller to stomp their feet. If your baby is on the way to the first independent steps, then choose the most comfortable clothes for him. A jumpsuit with assembled cuffs on the arms and legs is ideal. Children will be comfortable in a set of semi-overalls and jackets. In such a suit it is also very convenient to go shopping, as you can easily take off your jacket in a stuffy room. Pants should cover the back and chest so that when walking and other body movements do not expose the baby's body.
How to dress a child in autumn , if the window is cloudy
A child needs fresh air. Therefore, even the rain should not become an obstacle to walking. Of course, with a strong thunderstorm and rain it is better to sit in a warm apartment.
For a promenade with a baby, use a blanket and a rain cover to cover the stroller from drops. But active kids are ideally suited for jumpsuits made of waterproof material, as well as rubber boots with legs. Find at least one child who would not be happy when jumping in a puddle. It is unlikely that you will succeed, so it is better to protect your cub from moisture with the help of clothes and shoes.
It is not always possible to accurately determine how to dress a child in spring, autumn, or at other times of the year. However, do not try to protect the baby from all weather surprises. The child’s body is perfectly able to cope with temperature changes, just do not interfere with it.
