Winter is here. As the weather becomes colder here are a few tips from NBC interactive MSNBC that we thought would be helpful in keeping your little ones warm and safe - Dress your baby or young child in one extra layer than you typically wear outside. Use Thin layers.
- Good layers for a baby: Cotton one-piece undershirt; thick socks; thermal shirt or turtleneck; fleece top or sweater; bunting or snowsuit (preferably one that covers hands and feet); mittens; hat that covers ears.
- Good layers for kids: Thermal underwear; turtleneck; fleece or sweater; sweatpants or waterproof pants; two pairs of socks (perhaps sock liners and wool socks) water-resistant jacket; waterproof mittens (glove liners can be good too); hat that covers ears (or earmuffs over hat); waterproof boots with gripping surface
- DO use a neck gaiter.
- DON’T use a scarf, which can get caught on objects and be a strangulation hazard.
- Infants should be taken out in cold weather only when necessary.
- If your kids are playing outside, have them come in at least every half-hour to warm up.
- Don’t let kids play outside when it’s too cold or windy — always check windchill, and stay inside when it is 10 degrees F or lower.
