Was ziehe ich meinem Neugeborenen im Winter an?

What should I dress my newborn in winter?

The first winter with a baby raises many questions: Is my child freezing outside or is it too warm inside? Learn how to find the right balance with layering, breathable materials, and a safe sleeping bag, and how smart helpers make temperature control easier.

The first winter with a baby brings many questions: Is my child dressed enough? Will they be cold outside in the stroller? Or is they perhaps even wrapped up too warmly inside? Especially in the first few months, when babies aren't yet able to reliably regulate their body temperature, winter baby clothing is crucial.


Layered look for babies: the best clothes for winter

The rule of thumb is: Babies wear one more layer than adults in winter. Instead of wearing bulky separates, the layered look is most practical:
Body as a base
Romper or wrap bodysuit over it
• Sweater or sweatshirt for outdoors
• A jumpsuit or footmuff in the stroller
👉 Advantage: You can react flexibly – take off layers when it gets warm, or add layers when it is colder outside.


Which fabrics are suitable for babies in winter

The choice of material is at least as important as the number of layers.
Organic cotton and Bamboo is breathable, skin-friendly and prevents heat build-up.
• Synthetic fibers such as polyester may look cozy, but they can irritate the skin, cause allergies, and even lead to overheating.
💡 Tip: It is better to combine several thin cotton layers than one thick, non-breathable fabric.

Warmth & comfort from cold and stomach ache

Especially in winter, babies can easily get cold, whether during a stroller ride or when little hands and feet get cold. Tummy aches and colic are also not uncommon in the first few months and are stressful for both babies and parents. Gentle warmth can often work wonders: It relaxes, relieves cramps, and provides a sense of security. A small companion like KUDDLY , a soft heat cushion, can be used flexibly, in the stroller, in the cot or simply for cuddling and thus ensures more well-being in everyday life.


Baby sleep safely in winter: sleeping bag instead of blanket

Organic cotton sleeping bags are the safest choice for newborns:
• no slipping like with blankets
• breathable & temperature regulating
• enough freedom of movement
Did you know? Overheating is one of the biggest risk factors in a baby's crib. Therefore, it's better to use natural materials and regularly check your baby's neck to make sure it's comfortably warm.


Growing baby clothes: sustainable & practical

Babies grow rapidly – ​​clothes with practical extras make the difference :
Turn-up cuffs extend the service life
Scratch protection replaces mittens and protects the skin
elastic inserts offer freedom of movement
This way, you can enjoy your clothes for longer, avoid constantly buying new ones, and focus on sustainability.


Temperature control: Avoid overheating in your baby

Especially at night or in the stroller, it can be difficult to judge whether your baby is cold or sweating. Modern aids like MARY by sticklett measure body temperature and sound an alarm when it gets too warm or too cold. This way, you always stay in control.

Conclusion: Choose baby clothes wisely in winter. With the layered look, breathable materials, and a safe sleeping bag, you'll be perfectly prepared for winter. Grow-with-your-child clothes make everyday life easier and ensure the pieces fit longer. And if you also want to keep an eye on the temperature, smart companions like MARY will help you get through the cold season more calmly and relaxed.
