What kind of carrier do you have?

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: http://www.zutano.com/product/JFL/cozie-baby-elf-onesie.html?child=JFL00-APPL-12M#APPLE COZIE BABY ELF SUIT

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.

@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!

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.

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.

I am asking for one of those babywearing fleeces for Christmas!

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.

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.

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...

It doesn't get that cold here, but I have the spring/fall version of the M coat that @oliviaoblivia mentioned. 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!
