Finally, why a babywearing garment like a jacket? Simply because if you wear in a sling or baby carrier, in winter or just when it's cold you're going to face this question: how do I dress to go out with baby?
- If you put your own jacket over baby and you: baby's airways can be compressed
- If you put it underneath, you're going to have to put on a lot of layers on top of each other to dress baby (two Michelin tires, top!)
- If you buy a jacket that's too big for both of your builds to fit, you're going to look like a bag (a nice bag to be sure) and it's going to be uncomfortable
A babywearing jacket is going to allow baby to breathe while protecting you both from the cold and maximizing the heat exchange between you. In fact, it's going to serve to have a comfortable babywearing experience even when it's cold!
