BABY HACKS: WINTER EDITION

We're 2 weeks into September, which means if you're living in Alberta like I am snow could hit us any time now. So I asked some expert mamas on IG for some help with how to dress baby in the winter and I'm sharing some of the most common answers to my questions!

NOTE: Babies aren't supposed to wear anything puffy in their car seat in a car for safety reasons. So from my research and from what other mamas have told me, regular clothes + fleece suit + car seat/stroller cover is the most optimal combo for transporting baby in the winter. You can add a blanket in place of a cover if you'd like.

Q: WHAT OUTERWEAR DID YOUR BABY WEAR?

• Car seat cover
• Car seat poncho with warm hat and blanket
• Bunting suit
• Fleece suit
• One piece snow suit with hand and foot cuffs​​

Q: WHAT DID YOUR BABY WEAR UNDERNEATH IT?

• Anything
• Long-sleeve bodysuit and pants
• Footed sleeper

Q: WHAT ABOUT SHOES/BOOTIES?

• Padraigs - MOST COMMON ANSWER! Also, not gonna lie - I had to Google what these are
• ​Stonz
• Uggs
  
• Timbs
  
• Wool socks

Q: STROLLER COVER OR BABYWEARING COAT FOR WALKS?

• ​No need for stroller cover. Just bundle snow suit + mitts + touque
• Car seat cover with fleece suit
• Stroller cover
• Snow suit with blanket on top​

Q: ​BEST PLACE TO BUY WINTER STUFF FOR BABY?

• Consignment stores
• Facebook Marketplace
• MEC​

I'll end this blog with this photo of my baby boy in his latest Fall OOTD, thanks to my sisters and my mom!
