Winters can be harsh for newborn babies as they tend to lose heat quickly. Here are a few winter essentials that parents should carry while travelling with their newborns to keep them warm and comfortable.
Cosy Babywear
Babies lose heat quickly, so it is essential to layer them properly to keep warm. Be careful not to overdress them as it could cause overheating or suffocation.
Car Seat Cover
When travelling by car, use a kid’s car seat for comfort and safety. Ensure the seat is stretchable and cosy, as layers of clothing may make them fussy.
Warm Baby Wipes
Warming baby wipes makes diaper changes easier and more comfortable for babies, preventing them from feeling cold.
Moisturiser or Lotion
In winter, babies' delicate skin can become dry. Carrying a baby lotion or moisturiser with you and applying it at intervals can help keep the baby’s skin hydrated.
Thermometer
Babies are more prone to illness when exposed to certain environments. Carrying a thermometer helps you monitor your little one’s health if they become fussy.
Comfy Wearable Blankets
These blankets are different from regular ones and are designed to keep them comfortable and warm, eliminating the risk of suffocation and wind.
Humidifier
Using a humidifier helps keep babies' skin moisturised and creates a comfortable and warm environment. The optimal room humidity should be between 30-50%.
