How to dress a child in the fall and in the off-season

With the onset of the off-season, we are divided into two parts: some continue to walk in sandals on a woolen sock and pretend that the summer is not over yet, and the latter, without philosophizing slyly, immediately wear boots and down jackets, despite the fact that the street is still +10 degrees. Fortunately, we are talking about adult people, but as for children, then the manufacturers of clothes all foreseen!Photo:Getty ImagesIf your baby mostly sleeps in the stroller during a walk, then the rule of one extra layer of clothing applies to him. When not moving, the child may feel uncomfortable, even if he is dressed for the weather. or take a blanket with you, and there will be nothing to worry about. Fleece versus woolA real hit of the temperature regime from 0 to +10 degrees for active babies is a membrane jumpsuit. Depending on what the thermometer shows, you can wear either just a long-sleeved blouse or a whole set of thermal underwear and a fleece undergarment. Please note that it is better not to wear cotton items under fleece, such a combination does not help to retain heat, especially if the child is constantly on the move. Choose materials that do not absorb liquid, but let it pass by, that is, synthetics. As for the woolen products so tenderly loved by grandmothers, they are suitable only for very calm and measuredly strolling in the park individuals (that is, the grandmothers themselves). In addition to the fact that wool warms perfectly, it also perfectly absorbs moisture and is very reluctant to give it up. In practice, it turns out that, having put on a wool sweater and run on a walk for 10-15 minutes, the child will definitely sweat. And left in wet clothes in a draft, he will freeze. Therefore, it is better to leave beautiful knitted blouses for a trip to visit. Do you need a hat? A separate topic for discussion is the presence of a hat for the child. If your own ideas about hardening and walking regime do not allow you to put a warm hat on the baby, buy an intermediate option, for example, made of wool with acrylic. Thin enough, but at the same time noticeably warm for the off-season, headwear will protect the ears and your favorite tops of the head from the cold and wind. If you have already gone outside, but you still have doubts about the correctness of the outfit, then after 15-20 minutes of walking, touch the back of the child's neck where the hat ends and the collar begins. Cold - run home, you really did not dress for the weather. Warm - everything is fine, stop worrying and continue walking. Read also:
