For babies that are due in the winter...

Besides the actual outfit you're bringing the baby home in... what else are you wrapping the baby up in to keep them warm? Do you get a coat?

I got one of those sleeper-type coat... it's fleece. You can also use one of these (bundle-me)

Those are THE BEST INVENTION EVER! All the babies needed were a sweater (the Gap has great zip up ones) and a hat with the seat covers.

We had fleece snowsuits for them as well, but even though they were a newborn size they were swimming on them and seemed very uncomfortable.

Remember - you'll only have to walk from the front door to the car (and most hospitals have a special place for new families to go home from).

I got mine at BRU (I think it was $20).

I HIGHLY recommend to all winter mommys that you get a Bundle Me. This thing is wondereful. My baby is never overheated, and never cold. I love this thing.

I got a beautiful white snowsuit and I can't wait to see my baby in it!! But if it's too big, I'll have to bring something else too...

DKA- I am not sure if the baby will fit in the carseat in a snowsuit. I know Annalise did not. After bundling her up in it and getting to the car, we saw she did not fit in it with the suit on. I had to stand under the hospital awning in the cold (and it was puring) while DH adjusting the straps back down to fit her with clothes only. Then I put blankets on her. I know they are not even supposed to wear a jacket when in the carseat. The straps have to fit snug against their body. I think the Bundle Me is the way to go.
