It is pretty chilly these days, and newborns need to have the proper clothes to protect them against the cold weather. If this is your baby’s first winter, you can be at a loss about what to have your child wear at home or when going out.
Our Top Picks
If you aren’t sure about the best newborn clothing your baby should have, here are some of our recommendations.
Snowsuits
If there is one outfit that your newborn must have this winter, it would be a nice snowsuit. Not only will it provide your child the warmth they need from head to toe, but it is comfortable to wear when they ride their strollers or car seats because it is not as bulky as having them wear jackets.
Romper
If you are looking for a nice layering piece for your newborn, you can slip them in a fleece romper and pair it with a simple bootie to keep them warm. You can go for styles with foldover hand and foot cuffs, so you don’t have to worry about losing them while you are out and about. You can choose from thousands of designs, including those that come with zippers like those available from Baby Riddle.
Booties
While you can go for one-piece suits, it will also help provide your child with baby booties to keep their little toes toasty. Choose a design that comes with a two-snap closure and elastics so this cute little footwear won’t slip out from their tiny feet. Find one made with cotton for additional warmth.
Mittens
Like the booties, mittens are also a must. Go for knit mittens with double layers and lined with fleece so they won’t be too itchy for your little one. Find one that has a matching hat and booties for a seamless look.
Puff Jacket
Puff jackets are extremely reliable to keep the chilly weather at bay. The great thing about puff jackets like the ones from North Face is that they are super lightweight. They are also perfect for layering, allowing your baby to have the warmth they need without getting too suffocated with all the clothing’s weight.
Fleece Jacket
Aside from puff jackets, you can also get your little one a hooded fleece jacket. It will provide warmth for their head and upper body. Like puff jackets, they are also lightweight and easy to put on. For a more accessible piece, look for one that comes with a flap-over-flap design.
Sleep Bags/Sleep Sacks
Your baby also needs to stay warm as they sleep, and you need to provide them with cozy sleep bags. Some of these items are lined with Merino wool, a fabric that has excellent thermoregulating properties. It will keep the baby’s warm when it is cold, but it can also help provide coolness during warmer months. Plus, these sleep sacks would often come in sizes that your child can use until they reach two years old.
Long-Sleeved Onesies
It will also help to have long-sleeved onesies because they can be a staple for your baby all year long. They can wear it for daytime and nighttime. They are also cost-efficient because they would often come in packs of twos or threes with varying designs.
These are some of the newborn clothing you can invest in for your little ones. If you are on a tight budget, you can go for pieces that come in complete sets. In terms of size, you can always go for items that are one size bigger.
