As the days and nights get cooler, here are Baby Bunting's curated top picks to keep your child warm and comfortable this winter.

TOG rated sleepwear

On cooler nights, a warmer swaddle, sleeping bag or suit are your go-to options. These products come with a Thermal Overall Grade (TOG) to help choose the recommended rating based on the room temperature your child is sleeping in. To reduce the risk of overheating, opt for a lower TOG rating for warmer rooms, and a higher TOG for cooler rooms. Always check the correct size, TOG and underclothing guides per brand.

• 1.0 TOG: for room temperatures between 20-24°C
• 2.5 TOG: for room temperatures between 16-20°C
• 3.5 TOG: for room temperatures below 16°C

Your health best friends

You and your baby will be no stranger to snotty noses over the first few years of their life, especially over the colder months. Help keep them comfortable with simple tools like nasal aspirators, room humidifiers and chest rubs.

Thermometers

Keeping track of your baby's body temperature is a helpful way to check if they're running hot or cold due to illness or their sleeping environment. You'll thank yourself for having a thermometer within easy reach!

Layer up outside

A young child's body is still learning to regulate temperature so when dressing for outdoor activities, they generally need an additional undergarment to what you would normally wear, such as a singlet or long sleeve romper. Heat can be lost through our head and feet so wearing a beanie and booties when outside can keep warmth close to the body. Remember, if you're inside or popping in & out of stores, remove the beanie to prevent overheating.

Winter pram accessories

To keep your baby warm and cosy for your walk around the block or to the park, use a pram footmuff, liner or blanket.

Carriers

Carriers are a great way to get out and about on colder days with your little one. Protect bub from the wind and chill, share body warmth and be hands free!
