Cold weather bunting, etc. for January baby - BTDT mums, what is needed?

Just a quick PS - I took a closer look at the 7 a.m. Enfant and apparently you can zip the cover all the way off to use it as a duvet in the car seat. Done! I really don't want to buy more stuff. That plus the LL bean snuggy suit one PP posted above or a Zutano elf fleece suit I think will sort out fine. Thanks again all - this has been extremely educational.

HOODIES!!!

My DS absolutely hated hats. Even as a newborn it took him approximately 2 minutes to get any of them off his head (maybe three minutes if it had an "under the chin" tie).

Hoodie sweatshirts/sweaters/anything totally saved the day. I could put him in the sweatshirt, put up the "hood" up while we were outside, then pull it off (and to the side if he was still in a car seat, whatever) when we were somewhere warm. DS could move his head, pull at it, etc all he wanted. He couldn't get it off. They were a total lifesaver.

Just fyi, Old Navy used to make a hoodie sweatshirt that was fairly heavy weight and had this awesome satin lining for the hood. It was so soft, DS actually snuggled with it on purpose! I have no idea if they still make it, or even if they made a version for boys (DS was the proud owner of a pink hand me down) but it was fantastic. You may want to check it out!

Yay - glad that it will work out, OP!
