The temperatures are dropping, the wind is whistling around the houses and the first snow is approaching: Many new parents are asking themselves the legitimate question of how they can protect their little sunshine from the cold. Even in the cold season, a walk is good for babies and small children. So that you can run all your errands together with your little one and they feel cozy and warm while walking, we have collected valuable tips for the right winter clothing for babies and small children. From head to toe: In this article we present our Cosy Roots essentials for winter equipment.
Dressed properly from head to toe: winter clothing for babies and children
Babies and small children are particularly sensitive to cold temperatures. Their bodies' ability to regulate heat does not work as well as adults'. Their skin has not yet developed a sufficiently thick layer of fat to protect it from the cold in winter. The younger the baby, the more sensitive it is. Newborns in particular need to be protected outside in autumn and winter with the right clothing. Clothes made from natural materials such as cotton, wool and silk are particularly suitable. These are breathable, trap heat and regulate the little ones' body temperature. We will explain to you how to dress your child correctly in cold weather.
Winter accessories for snow and cold
Babies and small children are more likely to get cold on their heads and benefit from a thin hat even in moderate temperatures. To ensure you are fully equipped, we recommend two hats, a thinner one for warmer days and a thick knitted one for wind and cold. Hats made of very stretchy material, such as our organic beanies , are particularly useful as they grow with the little ones so you don't have to keep buying new ones. If your child can already walk and isn't just cuddling in the stroller, a scarf and two pairs of gloves are a good idea. This way, the sensitive neck and hands are well protected and your little sunshine can discover the world without freezing.
For underneath: undershirts and leggings
Thin shirts, leggings and tights under warm clothing are an absolute must in winter. This layered look not only offers several reliable layers to keep your child warm, but also allows you to react quickly to the environment. If you take a break in a warm café after a visit to the playground, your little ones will quickly start to sweat in thick sweaters and can catch a cold. Here you can easily take off the upper layers and regulate the temperature. At Cosy Roots we offer you cuddly soft long-sleeved shirts and leggings that are particularly comfortable on delicate children's skin. One-pieces such as rompers are ideal for young babies because they protect the whole body and do not slip.
For the top: cardigans and sweaters for babies and children
Over the thin layer come the warming items of clothing that ensure that body heat does not escape and the cold does not reach your little one. Cozy knitwear that is warm and comfortable is perfect for the winter. At Cosy Roots we rely on sweaters and cardigans made of GOTS certified organic cotton. They can be perfectly combined with our hats, trousers and shoes and, thanks to their oversized cut, will grow with your child for quite some time. Since tops get dirty quickly, we recommend that you have at least five or six thick sweaters and cardigans.
When it's below freezing or snowing outside, a second layer is essential for the legs too. Our beautiful knitted dungarees are cosy and warm and practical for this . They are hypoallergenic, flexible and, thanks to the adjustable straps, grow with your baby for quite a while. The soft colours can be perfectly combined with the rest of the clothing in our range, so you can put together a harmonious outfit with ease.
For warm feet: Knitted baby shoes and teddy shoes
When it is very cold, our body tries to protect the vital organs in the torso and at the same time neglects the outer extremities. The blood vessels contract and the blood supply is reduced. This is why we humans always freeze on our feet, hands and nose first. Babies can also suffer from cold feet outside. A pair of socks under a blanket are not enough to warm little feet in sub-zero temperatures. In addition to socks, babies need a second layer that locks in warmth and protects their feet in the cold seasons. This is where our magical baby shoes are ideal. Our knitted models are soft and breathable at the same time and enclose little feet perfectly. It gets even cozier with our brand new Teddy Shoes . The cuddly soft fabric is very comfortable to wear and is 100% vegan. The inner lining is made of breathable cotton so that feet don't sweat.

Organic cotton: the first choice for winter clothing
From head to toe: Organic cotton is our first choice for fall and winter clothing at Cosy Roots. We love this wonderful material and its many properties. Plant-based, natural and sustainable, organic cotton offers your little one very special comfort. The fabric is not only robust and durable, but also soft and environmentally friendly. At the same time, the material is hypoallergenic and healthy for children's delicate skin. Since no chemical substances or harmful pesticides are used during cultivation, organic cotton is a safe and healthier alternative.
At Cosy Roots we offer a wide range of winter clothes for your baby and child, made from this wonderful material and also GOTS certified . This means that the clothes and fabrics are subject to very specific guidelines and are strictly controlled. So you can be sure that you only get the best winter clothes for your baby from us.
