All parents understand that from overheating and subsequent hypothermia, the baby can catch a cold. Therefore, it is necessary to dress the child in winter so that he is not cold, but also does not sweat. We have prepared recommendations for you on clothes for different temperatures, so that you can protect the fragile health of the crumbs and avoid many problems.
+5/–5
Dress your baby in a long-sleeved T-shirt, jumpsuit with a synthetic winterizer or membrane, warm pantyhose shoes, woolen mittens or gloves and a woolen hat or mixed with acrylic.
–5/–10
In such weather, you need better insulation. Under the jumpsuit with a membrane or polyester filler, wear the baby underwear, and preferably thermal underwear, and a thin turtleneck. The rest of the things are unchanged: tights, warm shoes, a woolen hat and mittens or leggings.
–10/–15
We leave underwear or thermal underwear, and on top add a fleece or wool suit. Next comes a jumpsuit with polyester or down filling. It is important that he has a voluminous warm hood - we put it on his head in a strong wind. The best children's shoes in the cold - felt boots or winter boots, we put them on woolen or thermal socks. Mittens are better to choose waterproof or from wool with fur.
–15/–25
In severe frost we leave the same clothes, but we limit the walk time: a maximum of an hour in calm weather and up to 30 minutes in wind. Kids under 1 year old should not be taken outside when the temperature drops below -15 degrees.
Follow our recommendations, but do not forget that all the children are different, so you need to pay attention to the individual characteristics of the child.
Some more useful tips
- Under the membrane overalls and shoes you need to wear underwear and tights with synthetic content;
- Even in severe frost, do not cover your crumbs with a scarf or scarf. Nature has provided that the baby can breathe normally, despite the low temperature;
- If you go to the store, dress the child in a separate jumpsuit so that you can take off your jacket if necessary. Take off your hat with a scarf so that the baby does not sweat;
- About thermal underwear: for passive walks, choose products in which at least 40% of the fabrics are natural, for active ones, with a predominance of synthetics in the composition. Wear thermal underwear only for walks;
- The fact that the child is freezing is determined by the bridge of the nose, neck and skin above the feet and hands. If the baby has rosy cheeks and nose, it means that he is healthy and has a great time: blood rushes to his face so that it does not freeze, this is the norm.

For the cold season, we have two overalls. One with a membrane of +10 to -5, the other is normal on a synthetic winterizer from -10 approximately, warm. Depending on the temperature, I just put on extra blouses / turtlenecks. In general, in the winter at -15 and above, we do not walk for more than 30 minutes, even in calm weather. I usually go out in the winter twice - in the afternoon and in the evening for half an hour.
First of all, common sense should be present. You need to plan a walk with your child: what are you going to do, where to go with him and for what time. If you go to the rink - clothes should be freer, be sure to take mittens. And if you go to the cinema, then expect that there you will need to undress, etc.
