Step 1
Dress your baby in appropriate clothing. This means put a jacket or coat, hat, mittens, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt on your infant. You might want her to wear a sweater, winter boots or a snowsuit depending on the particular winter climate in your area.

Step 2
Put your baby in one more layer of clothing than what you are wearing. For example, if you are comfortable in a long-sleeved t-shirt, you may want to put your baby in a long-sleeved shirt plus one extra layer underneath. Plain onesies or thin t-shirts are good for underlayers for babies.

Step 3
Use a Bundle Me--is a zippered, often fleece lined, blanket-like cover from JJ Collections that you can put over your baby while they are in a carseat or stroller. The Bundle Me is available at various baby stores or online, and it comes in a variety of colors and styles to fit your needs.

Step 4
Wrap up your baby in a blanket when he's in the carseat in your car or in a stroller when you're outside. You can use fleece blankets, cotton blankets or flannel blankets for this purpose. Just make sure he's getting enough air.

Step 5
Let your baby sleep in a SleepSack by Halo Innovations, which you'll use instead of a blanket when your baby is asleep in her crib. SleepSacks, which come in cotton or fleece, are zippered blankets that a baby can wear. They eliminate any suffocation hazard from using blankets in the crib and keep the baby warm all night long.
