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 :

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!).
