How to have a snowy adventure with a baby

Get Outside With Kids - A podcast by Jennifer Kolbuc and Kate Le Souef

Categories:

Taking a baby to the snow can be intimidating. We talk about what to look for in winter gear, how to get you and your kids dressed, and how to decide where to go, as well as all the times we have forgotten crucial items and lived to tell the tale! Takeaways:  Layer up those kiddos to keep them warm and dry. Avoid cotton! Don’t forget to wear layers yourself. Carrying a baby makes you WARM. Take a lot of spare mittens and hats and neck warmers. Always wear waterproof pants, because you’ll end up sitting down to breastfeed, change a kid or get snacks out. Choose a well trafficked trail so you can possibly wear spikes instead of snowshoes Start small and lower your expectations so that you can learn how you and your kid react to the cold.
