LO isn't here yet so I can't say how it has worked out for babywearing yet, but it's been great as a maternity coat so far and I love the three-in-one concept! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226557 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:52:32 +0000 tlcbaby 1226557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Well the beer will help keep you warm at least ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226425 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:20:43 +0000 septca 1226425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am asking for one of those babywearing fleeces for Christmas!</p> <p>My baby was born in January and we went out a lot in the first few months. To keep her warm I would dress her in a footed sleep and play and a hat, then put on one of those super comfy Gap full-body suits with the hood and hand covers, then put her in the carrier. If it was really cold, I would wrap a fleece blanket around the carrier once she was in. </p> <p>Keeping her warm was no problem - it was more my neck that got cold because I had to wear my jacket open around the carrier.</p> <p>Putting your baby in a carrier against you - especially if you are using the infant insert for the Ergo - should keep them really cozy. It's the stroller that requires a Bundle Me or extra blankets... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226397 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:09:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 1226397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: do you always have the wine and beer as well? ;)</p> <p>We do something similar- fleece one piece from old navy that has feet and mittens and a hood. But, it hasn't gotten that cold here yet. Once it's really freezing I'm not sure what we will do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226392 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:05:35 +0000 yin 1226392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently using the Ergo with an infant insert. Baby stays pretty toasty inside the insert. I use the head cover to protect him from the wind, and I wear a jacket that can cover the both of us. I also have the Zutano elf suit and can't wait until he is big enough to fit into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226387 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:03:06 +0000 Cherrybee 1226387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do this! </p> [attach=2581/13/mwin57.449x600.WP_001062.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226382 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:00:35 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1226382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a cheap XL coat that fits over both of us. If you are more hardcore you could look into the M coat. It's pricey but awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226325 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:40:56 +0000 tlcbaby 1226325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Maybe we will go with something like that. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226322 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:40:13 +0000 hilsy85 1226322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: yup! He stayed SUPER warm, so I would usually do a onesie and leggings, the elf suit, and then a hat. As his legs got longer, the bottoms of the suit didn't fit to flip over his feet, so I added a pair of zutano booties (which are awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226315 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:39:06 +0000 tlcbaby 1226315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I have a K'Tan and also a Beco Butterfly, but I mostly use the K'Tan. That little elf suit is adorable-did you just put it on over his outfit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226284 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:32:24 +0000 hilsy85 1226284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of carrier do you have? </p> <p>When I used my moby with LO, I would just zip him under a coat or a sweatshirt with a coat on top. Once I started using the ergo (at about 3 months old), he was super warm in the insert so I just dressed him normally, maybe with a sweater on top and a hat. Once I stopped using the insert, this fleece one piece was awesome: <a href="http://www.zutano.com/product/JFL/cozie-baby-elf-onesie.html?child=JFL00-APPL-12M#APPLE" rel="nofollow">http://www.zutano.com/product/JFL/cozie-baby-elf-onesie.html?child=JFL00-APPL-12M#APPLE</a> COZIE BABY ELF SUIT</p> <p>I never worried about zipping my coat around him. I did try to wear higher necked shirts and sweaters bc my chest would get cold because the coat would be open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-baby-wearing-in-winter#post-1226270 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:29:22 +0000 tlcbaby 1226270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is starting to cool down here and I am trying to figure out keeping LO warm in the baby carrier this winter. I wore my maternity coat and buttoned it over both of us, but I know that won't work for long as he gets bigger.</p> <p>Does anyone use the hoodies or jackets made to work with baby carriers or do you just bundle up your LO before putting them in the baby carrier? </p>
