5 Essential Tips to Ensure Good Care of Your Newborn Baby During Winter

1. Winter-Appropriate clothes

The baby won’t stay warm or safe with more layers of clothing, but they will with the appropriate winter wardrobe. The ideal baby clothing is made of natural, baby-safe fibres that breathe well and are soft. You can purchase wool clothes to cover your baby’s hands, feet, and head. The most effective ways to keep the body warm are mittens, socks, and caps because bare skin causes the body to lose heat and become cold.

2. Change the diapers quickly
