Babywearing in winter/fall

Babywearing doesn't have to end when cold weather comes. There are plenty of ways that wearing your baby in winter might make your life easier. Sometimes it's hard to get thrugh the snow with a stroller, or you might be worried that baby will to get cold on the walk.
There are few tips below how to make it work.

How to dress your baby?

In general avid overdressing because body provides some heat and The carrier will give an extra layer too.

Very good solution is to put your baby under your coat. You can get a babywearing coat, which allows to wear a baby on your front and back or just use oversize jacket. There are also coat extenders available.
If you have your baby under the jacket you just dress him/her the same cluse as in door, a hat on the head and warm socks on the feet - that's it! The beauty of that solution is that if you now exactly if baby is to cold or to warm. If you feel comfortable with temperature, so is baby.
For wearing toddlers it's not always that easy to keep them under the coat. They like hop in and out more often, so it might make more sence to wear them on the jacket. When they are in the carrier it's still good to put leg warmerers on, because pants tend to fold up.
If it's freezing cold it is a good idea to put some winter cream on baby's face. We should never cover baby's face with the cloth or blanket, because thet can restrict air flow and we don't see what is going on with the baby.

Review of GUSTINE baby SSC
Love how soft and cozy it is. The fabric is very thin, but supportive for 8 kg baby. It is so soft to the touch. The carrier was also small when folded. It could fit into a diaper bag along with other stuff. The sit contoured perfectly, so it fit baby's bum as well as possible. Straps are soft and comfy, and not too bulky. They can be crossed at the back in front carry. The waist belt supports the weight very well and is comftable for the wearer.
The carrier has some adjustments (on the straps), and thay are easy to handle.
There is a hood sewn permanently to the carrier. It is very thin, so I liked it that way.

There is a pocket on baby's back. I don't see much use of it it that place. Whatever you put inside it will dig into baby's back. I would place it on the weist belt instead.
