Babywearing in spring

• Babies in their first year should always be carried under a jacket or babywearing sweater.
  Newborns in particular cannot yet maintain their own body temperature well - therefore they depend on the body heat of the person carrying them!
• If your toddler wants to walk on his own and wants to go in and out again and again, you can also comfortably wear it over a jacket!
• If you're carrying your baby under a jacket or babywearing sweater, don't dress them too warmly! The baby carrier or sling replaces a layer of clothing; you'll also keep your baby warm, and the jacket will provide additional warmth.
• The legs are especially important – they're outside the carrier or wrap and need extra warmth. It's best to use leg warmers to protect them. Warm socks or sheepskin booties are also a great option!
• A hat - preferably with ribbons to tie - is of course also a must :)
• Wool or wool-silk clothing is particularly suitable for your baby. It's breathable, temperature-regulating, and always ensures the optimal temperature – whatever the season!
  A long-sleeved bodysuit and long wool-silk leggings in summer protect your baby from UV rays.

What should I put on my baby under a babywearing jacket?

Of course, it depends on which babywearing jacket you're using. Is it a wool coat, a softshell, or a hardshell jacket?

Under a wool coat, your baby usually doesn't need any "extra" clothing - except for the aforementioned leg warmers and socks to keep the legs warm.

Hooded wool babywearing coat from mamalila

You can wear this great wool babywearing coat from mamalila even with a baby bump! It also offers the option of carrying your child in front of your belly or on your back. And you'll get even longer out of it – because you can easily use it as a coat even without a baby bump or baby!

A lightweight wool coat is a trusty companion, especially on chilly spring days. However, when it gets warmer, a softshell jacket is probably a better alternative.

Softshell is a great material - it keeps you warm, is windproof, water-resistant, and air-repellent, yet you won't sweat in it because the jacket is breathable.

Softshell babywearing jacket from Greyse

Fancy a babywearing jacket that you can use during pregnancy? You can use the Greyse softshell babywearing jacket with a bump and while babywearing! You can use it in front of your belly and on your back. The practical features include two hoods for you and your baby, as well as the relaxed cut that allows plenty of freedom of movement for your child. The Greyse softshell babywearing jacket even fits over your toddler!

Once the wear period is over, you can easily use the jacket as an everyday jacket. And admittedly, the beautiful colors and patterns of Greyse are simply to fall in love with!

Rainwearing jacket from mamalila

The rain jacket from mamalila is also a great companion! The material is wind- and water-resistant and super lightweight. However, on cooler days, I recommend wearing something thicker underneath – the same goes for your baby! An additional vest or a thin (!!) overall is a great option. Wool fleece or cotton fleece, for example, is best.

The mamalila principle applies here too: can be used with a baby bump, when carrying the baby in front of the stomach and on the back, and then as a jacket for everyday use!

My absolute favorite for spring, when it's not raining: the Lennylamb babywearing sweater!

Babywearing sweater from Lennylamb

With this babywearing sweater, you can carry your baby in front of your stomach or on your back! It will keep you and your baby warm all year round—even in winter, if you dress properly underneath.

In spring, I recommend that you dress your baby normally underneath; an additional vest, leg protection, and a hat are completely sufficient!

The babywearing sweater is a more affordable alternative to babywearing jackets and is an ideal companion for you! Side zippers make it super easy to put on and take off. A large integrated pocket offers storage for keys, wallet, and cell phone.

The integrated loop scarf keeps mommy nice and warm at all times. A hood with a scarf is also included for your baby, which you can easily add to your outfit if needed!

So many options - which babywearing jacket is the best?

Consider what you want to use the product for. During pregnancy, just for babywearing, or even afterward?

Babywearing jackets may be more expensive, but they have a truly long lifespan! They can be resold at a great price and will continue to bring joy to other babywearing parents for a long time to come.

mamalila often uses recycled materials for its babywearing jackets – this, of course, has another advantage: it reuses existing materials, protecting the environment and conserving valuable resources.

The babywearing sweater is a great, cost-effective alternative that will last from fall to spring. It only becomes difficult when it rains or snows – in these cases, I always wear a hardshell or rain jacket over it.

I hope I was able to give you a little insight into the world of babywearing in spring!
