The right clothes for babies in autumn

Autumn is a beautiful time of year when nature beckons with colorful leaves and fresh air. But while we enjoy the cooler temperatures, babies need special protection to feel comfortable on a walk. Their body temperature does not regulate itself as well as adults, so it is important to dress them warmly and comfortably at the same time. In this blog you will learn how to dress your baby correctly in autumn so that it is well protected even in cool weather.

1. The onion principle – layers are the be-all and end-all

The onion principle is particularly suitable for babies, as it allows you to wear several layers of clothing on top of each other and react flexibly to temperature fluctuations. Start with a soft, breathable layer directly on the skin, such as a bodysuit made of cotton or wool-silk blends. A long-sleeved shirt or sweater can be worn over this, followed by a warm jacket or overalls.

2. The right headgear – avoid heat loss through the head

Babies lose a lot of heat through their heads, so a suitable hat is essential. A thin cotton hat is sufficient on warmer autumn days, while on cooler days a knitted or lined hat that also covers the ears is necessary.

3. Warm feet – don’t forget socks and shoes

Since babies don't move around much yet, their feet get cold quickly. Double-layered socks or wool socks keep little feet warm. When out in a stroller or baby carrier, lined boots or soft shoes are a good choice to protect the feet.

4. The overall – the perfect all-rounder

A lined overall made of fleece or down is ideal for autumn walks. It keeps the baby warm all over and protects against the wind. Models with foldable hands and feet offer additional protection and save you from constantly searching for lost gloves or socks.

5. Baby sling or stroller – the right equipment

If you take your baby with you in a sling or baby carrier, it is important to make sure that your baby does not overheat despite being so close to your body. Light layers and a special baby carrier jacket that covers both of you are ideal. In the stroller, a warm footmuff is a good choice to protect your baby from the wind and cold.

6. Be careful with temperature changes – stay flexible

In autumn, the weather can change quickly, so always bring an extra layer like a blanket or warm scarf in case it gets colder. It's also important to take off layers when the temperature rises so your baby doesn't start to sweat.

Conclusion

The right clothing is the key to enjoying autumn with your baby in a relaxed and safe way. With the layering principle, warm overalls, hats and matching shoes, you are well equipped for walks in changeable autumn weather. This way you can experience the colorful season together without your little darling getting too cold.
