There's no way around it — if you're planning on heading outdoors with your baby in tow on winter days, you need to ensure he’s dressed properly so he stays cosy and warm without overheating. Follow these tips to ensure you do it safely.When it comes to dressing babies and toddlers for winter weather, layering is key. The general rule is to dress your baby in one layer more than what you’re wearing.

It also has the ability to respond to changes in your baby’s body temperature.’for your baby, look for technical features and fabrics. ‘To ensure full protection from wet weather, make sure the garment has a waterproof rating of at least 1500mm or more,’ says Linda.
