Get Your Baby Ready for Fall with This Checklist

A change of seasons brings with it a change in needs for your baby. As the temperature changes and the leaves fall, out come more baby blankets, more socks, and dry air. This checklist will help you ensure you have what you need as the air and leaves become crisp.

Baby Blankets

Warm Baby Blankets Galore

Keep a receiving blanket in any major room you might be in, especially if you have hardwood floors. The baby blankets can help keep your little one warm, or they can act as an insulator between the cold floor and your baby as they play. Plus, they have a ton of utility, from acting as emergency burp cloths to a car seat cover if you decide to brave the windy fall air.

So Many Socks

With autumn in full swing, you will need more socks than you might think for your baby. Socks will get dirty and inevitably some will get lost as your baby throws one sock off. Socks will help your baby stay a bit warmer during the fall. You want to keep little toes snug and warm whenever possible. They are also perfect for lounging around the house or playing. If you have an early walker, remember to get socks that have anti-skid bottoms.

Humidifiers and Lotion for Dry Skin

Speaking of the fall air, autumn means dry air and dry skin. Keep lotion ready for dry skin, and make it a habit to slather your baby in lotion when they get dressed and when it’s time for bed. You can also use a humidifier in their nursery to introduce humidity back in the air to keep your baby comfortable.

Burp Cloths for Messes

Your baby is likely going to be inside more than in summer, and that means you should stock up on burp cloths. They are highly versatile and can be used to clean up all manner of messes. Keep a stack in a central location of the house. Whether it’s random spit-up, spills, or dropped snacks, burp cloths can help you clean up. For added utility, get a burp cloth that can snap together to form a baby bib, and you can use the bib during feeding time. After feeding, unsnap it to serve as a burp cloth for burping.

Hoodies and Sweaters

It’s time to break out the hoodies and light sweaters. This is especially important when you want to venture outside with your little one, as your baby will need extra layers to stay warm. Babies are not nearly as good at regulating their temperature as adults, so if you are out for longer than a jaunt around the block, layer up your baby to keep them warm. A zip-up hoodie or cardigan are both perfect choices for keeping your baby warm in the crisp air.

Here is what you need to know about swaddling, including when you should stop swaddling. Baby Blankets What Is Swaddling? Swaddling uses baby blankets to wrap your baby up, holding their arms down and legs fairly close together while allowing the hips free movement.
