I was freezing in like 60 degrees the other day. So I am afraid I'll overheat him.</p> <p>Thanks for all the tips. I feel better things now and I think I'll go to REI and check out hats @Mrs. Bee</p> <p>I figure I'll just buy boots if it turns out to be really snowy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-439150 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:34:15 +0000 Bao 439150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do an undershirt, regular long sleeve shirt, pants, a coat, a hat, mittens as long as LO will keep them on and regular shoes should be fine. If he will be in a stroller add a blanket. I wouldn't go SUPER crazy with tons and tons of layers because although its winter you don't want him to sweat and get cranky. He is probably just as warm or cold as you are :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438732 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:02:44 +0000 littlek 438732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that you should dress the baby similar to you plus 1 extra layer like a blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438661 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:50:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 438661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would get a warm trapper hat like this: </p> <p><a href="http://www.rei.com/product/837782/rei-wool-plaid-trapper-hat-toddler-boys,-red-buffalo-plaid" rel="nofollow">http://www.rei.com/product/837782/rei-wool-plaid-trapper-hat-toddler-boys,-red-buffalo-plaid</a></p> <p>A scarf really helps, but hard for toddlers to keep on. Charlie only recently started wearing one. We have this snood from Zara that's easier to keep on: <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-W2012/269273/826231/KNITTED%20NECKWARMER" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-W2012/269273/826231/KNITTED%20NECKWARMER</a></p> <p>Regular shoes are fine I think unless there's snow. Then snow boots would be great.</p> <p>Other than that, just layer -- a long sleeve shirt, sweater, coat should be fine. You can put tights or pjs on under pants. If it's 32 degrees, you probably won't spend too much time outside? That's pretty cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438628 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:24:59 +0000 glimmersnaps 438628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated I looked at the forecast (we are leaving next Thursday) and it looks like the highs are around freezing. That's flippin cold to me :)</p> <p>The mimiTENS are SO cute! I think he needs some... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438625 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:22:57 +0000 prettylizy 438625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@glimmersnaps: I would get hat, mittens and some sort of warm boot or shoe with thick socks. and a warm coat. I'm in southern ontario and for our wak tonight I took DD out in a carters fuzzy sleeper coat thingy and it was more than enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438615 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:12:03 +0000 Freckles 438615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isnt the east going through a warm spell right now? I put miniTENS on my LO and they keep her hands warm. I would probably get boots...Not just for warmth but to protect from gross, wet slush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438614 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:08:44 +0000 glimmersnaps 438614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy He is 22 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438603 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 20:55:22 +0000 prettylizy 438603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is he? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438536 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:50:43 +0000 glimmersnaps 438536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-baby-for-cold-winter-weather#post-438094 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:10:20 +0000 glimmersnaps 438094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going on a weeklong trip to Ottawa and Montreal next Thursday and I'm unsure about the clothes I have for DS. </p> <p>I know he will wear layers (how many?) and then he has a snow bib and decent coat. I'm really unsure about the accessories though. He has one pair of shoes (regular Stride Rite tennis shoes) and no boots. And his hat isn't great-- it's fleece with ear flaps but it's smallish. Where is a good place to buy a seriously warm winter hat? And mittens? Do toddlers even wear mittens?</p> <p>Any advice on how to bundle him up is greatly appreciated! (Where I grew up I barely needed a coat, so I'm at a loss...) </p>
