These are the most useful items for keeping your baby warm and cozy this winter.
If you stop to think about it, this winter is kind of the perfect time to have a baby. This time of year is usually filled with holiday gatherings and events, lots of invitations, and lots of visitors. All of that is heartwarming fun, but it’s not exactly the ideal way to spend your time when you’ve just had a baby.
