We’ve had a few questions from new parents asking for advice about how to dress baby whilst they’re in a baby carrier during the cold weather, so here are our top 3 Winter wearing tips :
1. Less is More
Dressing baby in too many layers of clothing could cause them to overheat, so start with less and add more if you feel baby is too chilly.
When dressing baby, remember that your carrier is going to be adding a further layer of warmth around them. Being worn so close to you, baby is also going to be warmed by your body (which is likely to increase in warmth as you’re carrying baby, along with any number of parenting essentials!).

Attachment parenting focuses on continuous connections, closeness and touch with baby. Using a carrier or sling can help aid this. Whether it’s responding to your little one’s cry or human contact carrying your children helps respond quicker. Whether it’s a baby, toddler or older child, they love to be held which means you can learn to adapt to their needs.

Going to a wedding with a baby?! Read how Clare and baby Euan mastered it here!
I had a wedding to attend with my 10 week old baby, Euan. Going anywhere with a new-born can often be somewhat of a military operation, therefore I needed a plan of attack to try to minimize any risk of meltdown mode (him not me!) occurring. Euan loves his cuddles, so a plan was formed, I would use a baby carrier. Finding a dress to wear that was suitable to breastfeed in was a much trickier operation, but that's another story!
I had only used a stretchy wrap with him before and while comfy, I sometimes found it a bit of a faff to get on and off, so for the wedding I wanted a buckle carrier. I was given the opportunity to road test Ergobaby's newest addition, the Omni 360. The beauty of the Omni is that Ergobaby seem to have taken all the best features from its other carriers to make this one. One great feature is that it fits a new-born without needing any extra insert as it is altered by adjusting
