baby is, you cannot completely rule out the possibility of falling ill during this

smart to keep them warm, happy, and risk-free.
Here are the best tips which you can follow in

stepping outside with them.
Optimum Layers For Your Baby
Keeping a baby comfortable in winter requires
extra layers and you should know how many to make them wear. Good quality
woolen clothes and winter accessories such as caps, mittens, and socks are essential to keep them comfortable
and warm. The right kind of layers is good and you can start with a warm
bodysuit or onesie, use soft woolen clothes – a turtle neck sweatshirt,
half sweater, and top layer of fleece one-piece with feet, will be the best. If
you're opting for pants and a top, socks are a must under booties.
An extra layer is always good and you can analyze
this with your dressing sense. Dress your baby as you do, then add an extra
layer. A monkey cap is always the best idea to cover their head and entire
face.
Good Massage Oil
In winter and baby care, give them a massage before bathing with the right baby massage oil and the best part is, you don’t have to buy it. Prepare so powerful massage oil at home by heating up mustard oil with some garlic pieces, fenugreek, and carom seeds.
Massage your
baby with this oil from head to toe, which will keep him warm by stimulating
blood circulation. Also, this massage session will be enjoyable for him, which
will promote good sleep and a calm mind.
Using this oil at the night will keep your baby
untouched from the cold. Just massage your baby’s feet and cover them with
socks as well as you can apply this oil on your baby’s chest to keep them warm.
Sun Basking Is Important
Spending some time in the sun is important as it
will keep your baby warm and provide the optimum amount of vitamin D. This is
an essential nutrient for stronger bones and boosting immunity. Sunbathing is
also important to kill germs.
