With the crunch of colourful leaves and pumpkin spice on the horizon, it’s time to start thinking about transitioning your baby’s wardrobe for fall.
Dressing your baby for fall is all about balancing comfort and warmth, ensuring they’re snug as a bug while embracing the season’s beauty (and fluctuating weather). In this post, we will talk about some helpful tips for making the most of your little one’s wardrobe with pieces and accessories that are as practical and they are cozy.
Learn how to read your little’s body language
Fall brings with it a roller coaster of temperatures — cool mornings, warm afternoons, and chilly evenings. Babies can’t tell you what they need, so getting to know your little one’s body language will help you adapt to the weather and your little one’s needs. Are their feet or hands cold to touch? Is their face flush from the heat? Keeping an eye out for these signals can help you keep your little comfortable throughout the day.
When it comes your little one’s bedtime routine, a good rule of thumb is to keep your baby’s bedroom somewhere between 20 and 22 degrees celsius to keep them happy (and asleep) throughout the night.
Reach for breathable fabrics
When it comes to fall baby clothes, breathable fabrics are your best friend — bamboo viscose fabric is at the top of that list. Not only is it soft and breathable, but it helps regulate body temperature, making it ideal for fall layering. Bamboo is also hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin, ensuring your baby stays comfortable and rash-free. We recommend staying away from synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and irritate your baby’s delicate skin.
At Sunday Littles, our fabric is made from 95% viscose from bamboo and 5% spandex which allows for great breathability and stretch for long-term wear. Our bamboo fabrics features tiny micro-gaps that work like magic, keeping your little one cool as a cucumber in the summer and snug as a bug in the winter, all while making sure their body temperature stays just right.
Switch to pieces with a higher TOG rating
Remember to check the TOG (Thermal Overall Guide) Rating of your little one’s clothing to ensure it's suitable for the season and your baby's room temperature. Our Sunday Sleep Bags come in TOG ratings of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5, offering cozy options for every season. For example, you might reach for a 0.5 TOG in the summer, but switch to a 1.0 as the cooler fall months roll in.
Go for versatile pieces over chunky layers
Instead of piling on thick layers, opt for versatile pieces that allow for easy adjustments and conformation layering. Bamboo sleep bags and long-sleeved pajamas are great staples for your baby’s fall wardrobe. These pieces can be easily layered over summer clothes, extending their use into the cooler months. Plus, versatile clothing helps regulate temperature, ensuring your baby stays cozy without overheating.
Optimize your closet for the season ahead
As you transition your baby’s wardrobe from summer to fall, consider organizing the closet to make dressing easier. Store away summer clothes that won’t be needed and keep versatile, breathable pieces accessible. Invest in storage solutions like bins or vacuum-sealed bags to keep off-season clothing fresh and ready for next year. This not only saves space but also makes it easier to find what you need on those busy fall mornings.
