HERBST BABY

This depends mainly on the outside temperature and whether your baby is in a stroller, in a carrier, or already active and on the move. The layering principle has proven effective: a breathable base layer, a warming mid-layer if needed, and a protective outer layer, for example made of boiled wool.

At around 15°C, a long-sleeved bodysuit, grow-with-me trousers, and a boiled-wool overall or boiled-wool jacket are often a good choice. Depending on whether your baby is sleeping or moving around, you can add or remove a layer.

With the layering principle, several thin layers of clothing are worn on top of one another. This allows you to adjust your baby’s clothing to changing temperatures at any time without overheating or getting cold. Usually, three layers are more than enough.

At 10°C, a breathable base layer, a warm mid layer, and a boiled-wool all-in-one are recommended. A pull-on balaclava also protects the head and ears from the wind.

The layering principle has proven effective: a breathable base layer, a warming mid-layer if needed, and a protective outer layer, such as boiled wool. This allows clothing to be quickly adjusted when the weather changes. An additional hat and scarf, as well as warm boiled-wool booties, can also be added or removed during sudden temperature fluctuations.

Babies in strollers move very little and therefore get cold more quickly. An additional layer or a blanket may be useful. Check the back of their neck regularly—it should be comfortably warm but not sweaty.

In the baby carrier, you keep each other warm. That’s why your baby usually needs one fewer layer of clothing than in the stroller. Warm feet, hands, and a well-protected head are important.

Yes! Boiled wool balances temperature, is breathable, and protects against wind. This makes it ideal for changeable autumn weather and allows it to be combined with different layers depending on the temperature.

On mild autumn days, a long-sleeved bodysuit with grow-with-me trousers is often sufficient. When it gets colder, you can also dress your child in an insulating layer underneath, such as wool or fleece.

It’s best to feel the back of your baby’s neck. If it feels pleasantly warm and dry, your baby is usually comfortable. Cold hands or feet, on the other hand, are not a reliable indication of body temperature.

In windy or cooler weather, a lightweight hat is a good idea because babies lose heat through their heads. A breathable pull-on hat or baby bonnet provides particularly good protection for the head and ears.

For most families, a few favorite pieces that can be easily mixed and matched are enough: grow-with-your-child bodysuits, comfortable trousers, a boiled-wool coverall or jacket, a hat, and warm booties. What matters is not the quantity, but the right combination for the weather.
