What are some special preparations to make for a baby born in the winter?

Cupid’s Advice:

Congratulations!  Whether you’ll be a first-time mom or not, it’s important to know that there are some special preparations to make for a baby’s arrival in winter compared to those who are born during warmer months.  Here’s some advice:

1. Clothing: Since it’ll be cold, your baby will need a snowsuit and a thick warm sleep suit.  Don’t forget fleece blankets and hats that will cover their ears.

2. Bathing: To avoid exposure to the cold, be certain the room is warm and comfortable.  This means that you’re not in a position to skimp on your heating bill this winter.

3. Car seats: Since it’s winter, don’t worry about buying a stroller.  Instead, purchase a car seat.
