The Best Winter Baby Clothes to Keep Your Little One Warm + Cozy

Baby outwear can be a little confusing, especially for first-time parents, so keep these basics in mind. It’s always easier to add layers than to remove them. Add a footmuff or heavy blanket to your stroller and you won’t need a super warm coat. (You can move to a warmer coat once your little one starts walking and wants to be out of the stroller more.) And a warm bunting is perfect if you’re babywearing during the winter or if your little one is in a bassinet.

Tiny hats and mittens are more than just cute—they’ll help keep your little one warm and comfortable all winter long. Baby pulling off their hat? Try one with a tie bottom or a snap closure.

A stroller footmuff (sometimes called a stroller bunting) is like a warm, cozy sleeping bag for your baby when you’re on the go. Footmuffs feature cutouts in the back and bottom for your stroller’s harness straps. Many also feature adjustable bottoms so you can use them as your baby grows. Some footmuffs are universal, so they’ll fit almost any brand and model of stroller; others are made to fit specific stroller brands.

Sometimes called a wearable blanket, a sleep sack helps to keep your baby warm in their crib without using loose blankets. These sleep sacks are specifically designed for chillier temps. How can you tell? Check their TOG, which stands for Thermal Overall Grade, a term that indicates how much heat the fabric retains.
