    Hi all,
    Just wondering what extra measures you all are taking to keep your little one warm in this extremely cold winter?
    I've started putting tights on under trousers instead of socks. Also the heater in her room, (thermostatic, keft on all night) was turned up a notch.
    Interested to hear any tips you all have??

    Fleece, fleece and more fleece.

    Top- thermal tee shirt, regular tee shirt, jumper [coat]

    Hat that covers ears, mittens [which I have sewed to ribbons]

    Bottoms- underpants obviously

    If outside for walk fleece lined jeans that I had sent over from the US.

    If in playschool or at home, pair of cords or sweatpants.

    If outside to play in snow, fleece lined waterproof overalls I bought in Lidl over regular sweat pants.

    Snowboots to keep feet dry in this weather.

    Also when the weather is bitter like this, vaseline or olive oil on the face and cheeks.

    Bedtime- Regular pajamas and a fleece blanket tucket between sheet and bed and a duvet.

    Hot food in the tummy - porridge, stews, shepherds pie, that sort of thing.

    Multi vitamin -keep B vitamins coming to regulate thermostat, especially folic acid.

    *My son is not a newborn or infant though - late toddler.
