If the thought of taking your little baby outside during chilly weather makes you shiver, there is no need to worry. Dressing your baby for the colder days is easier than you might think! The key to success is to remember this one word: "layers." When you are working with two or more layers, then what goes on can always come off as temperatures change outdoors or indoors.

So let's talk in more detail about a smart layering strategy to dress your baby when you are traveling this holiday season.

What layers should your baby be wearing?

Babies lose heat in the same places you do - through the head and the feet. So you definitely want to keep your stash of newborn hats and socks at the ready all during your travels.

And just like you, your baby may experience discomfort when moving from a very cold outdoor environment to a very warm indoor environment. So you will want to choose layers you can add or remove relatively quickly to keep your baby comfy. If you need to buy newborn hats and other baby products, visit this website.

How should you layer your baby's travel clothing?

Always layer your baby's clothing from the inside out. Start with insulating layers next to your baby's skin and then build extra warmth by adding additional layers of clothing as needed.

Here is a general guide:

• Start with warm socks
• Make the innermost layer a soft warm moisture-wicking onesie
• Layer on top of the onesie with a long sleeve shirt
• Pants can be footed or non-footed (just make sure the socks go on first!)
• On top of the long sleeve shirt you can add a sweater or sweater vest
• Save the jacket for last and pick a thinner material for car seat safety
• Be sure your baby has a selection of newborn hats to keep the heat in at all times

With this strategy, you can travel with your baby and feel confident about keeping your little love warm.
