Warmth, comfort, and your little one’s safety are key considerations when looking for winter nursery products. We carefully considered design, material, age recommendations, safety, value, and ease of use and cleaning when reviewing products. Here are the best cold-weather products to have in your nursery.
Comfort
You’ll also want products that keep your baby comfortable in the winter season, when the air is drier and cooler and respiratory bugs are common. That often means stocking your baby’s nursery with a humidifier, wipes warmer, and cold and flu care supplies, such as a thermometer, saline spray, and nasal aspirator. Having these items on hand before your baby is sick will help you care for them more easily when and if the need arises.
Safety
Some products are not safe for babies. These include loose bedding or sleepwear and items that will overheat your baby. Blankets (unless used for swaddling) should not be used at all with babies. So, be sure that anything you buy for your child’s crib or to sleep in complies with safe sleep guidelines.
