Oh! isn’t it a delight when your little one asks for all the warm cuddles in the world and bundled up in his fluffy woollen baby clothes, all he wants is your sweet love (It’s literally one of the best things about winter with babies!). Well, it is the coldest time of the year and apart from all the cuteness, let us tell you, your babies do need some serious protection from a wintry spell as well! With a body as delicate as his, winter wears are so essential for him and as a parent, you need to make sure that your baby is perennially well-protected (but of course, you know all the already!)

Your baby is so susceptible to the wintery chills as babies generate much lesser heat than adults, so they get cold very quickly. The last thing you want to see in winters is a red runny nose on your baby and sniffles. So, to help you decide and sort through what all baby clothes you need for your little one’s winter dressing, Kidmish is here to help you and guide you through all your winter dress for babies needs.

Before we begin, keep a couple of things in mind for winter clothes shopping for your baby; things like the climate of the place you live in and also your lifestyle. Does your baby have to spend quite a chunk of time with you outside (be it stroller walks or running errands) and how cold it gets where you live, will play a decisive role in buying the most appropriate winter baby dress for your little one.

We’re listing for you below, few of our favourite essentials that are a must in your baby’s closet, to help your little angel brave any winter chills.
