How to dress a two-month-old baby in winter

The weather in winter is relatively cold. When the temperature is low, babies with poor resistance will often catch various diseases due to colds, such as colds, fevers, coughs, etc. Therefore, in winter, parents must make sure their babies are well dressed to keep warm, and they need to choose appropriate clothes for their babies based on their specific circumstances. Here are some things to pay attention to when dressing your baby in winter.

For babies aged 0-2 months, their ability to regulate their body temperature is not yet perfect, so it is best for them to wear more clothes than their mothers. Babies over 2 months old are relatively more active, so it is best for them to wear less clothes than their mothers. Mothers can often touch the baby's back to confirm whether he is sweating. This is a good way to measure whether the baby is wearing appropriate clothes.

2. One thick coat is not as good as several thin ones

Usually a baby's torso is very warm, but his limbs are cold, with the temperature difference sometimes being 3℃-5℃. This is because the baby's limbs are exposed to the outside for more time, and the temperature of the limbs is lower than other parts of the body. So the way to improve it is: don’t let your baby wear too thick clothes, but wear more thin clothes, so that a layer of isolation from cold air will be formed between the clothes to achieve the effect of keeping warm.

Changing diapers is a common problem in winter care. Newborns urinate frequently and need to change diapers quite often. However, most parents cover the baby's abdomen with diapers, and the temperature of diapers is significantly lower than that of the baby's abdomen. If diapers are changed more than ten times a day, babies will constantly use their abdomens to warm the diapers, which can easily cause them to catch cold. Therefore, it is best to choose two-piece baby clothes. For one-piece clothes, choose the kind that does not need to be opened at the belly when changing diapers to prevent the baby from catching a cold.

4. Don’t get dressed right after taking a shower

After taking a bath, wipe the baby's body dry with a bath towel and don't put clothes on immediately. Because the baby's body temperature is very high after taking a bath, putting clothes on immediately will cause him to suffer from hyperhidrosis. Therefore, wait until your baby's temperature drops before putting clothes on him.

When changing your baby's clothes, don't undress him/her all at once, because the baby cannot adapt to the sudden cold air; you still need to set up a warm changing space first.

6. Choose clothes that are easy to put on and take off

In winter, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors and between day and night is large, so it is suitable for babies to wear clothes that are easy to put on and take off. Such as vests and woolen fabrics with front opening. When your baby sweats, you can immediately take off his extra clothes, and when the temperature drops, you can add more clothes in time without any trouble.
