This post is in partnership with buybuy BABY. All opinions here are my own.
All these items can easily be found at buybuy BABY. You can shop online or visit one of their two stores in Ontario: Vaughn or Whitby. If you get to visit one of their stores just know four major things:
- They offer a price-match promise.
- You can get hassle-free returns.
- There is a comfortable feeding/changing room available. (Which I’ve used on multiple occasions for Ava Rose- very convenient)
- Lastly free gift-wrap service in-store.

I learned in my prenatal class that the number one rule for dressing a baby for bed is to add a layer on top of what you would wear. I’m not saying you do this... but if you sleep in underwear- your baby shouldn’t sleep in underwear..haha. They should always have on a sleeper or something comfortable for them to move in. This season we are actually going to make sure that Ava Rose wears a sleep sack or sleep bag. This one is super affordable at $13.99 CAN each. I love the fact that she can move around and stay warm. Also, diaper changes are a breeze with the head to toe zipper.
Have a few fleece outfits ready

Jacket or no jacket.
This one is really tricky. I’ve seen a lot of reports that say NO jacket. If you are conflicted, I would tell you to consult your child's doctor on this one ( just to be 100% sure). We decided to go with a ''jacket" over the car seat. The brand that we chose was JJ Cole®. Their Infant Original BundleMe® has a thermaplush™ outer layer to keep your baby warm in the cold weather. They have several colours to choose from in-store starting at $69.99 CAN. Even without a jacket, I find that my baby is comfortable. Just to be safe- I always put a light blanket at her feet. I'd suggest the Gerber flannel receiving blankets and you can find them in-store for $13.99 CAN.
From all the reports I’ve been reading, it is going to be a very cold fall and winter. Although hibernation would be ideal- it's not realistic. As your going through the door with your new items don’t forget to stop at their accessory section and pick up some socks, a warm hat plus some no scratch gloves. They double as light gloves for your little one.

ReplyDeleteI don't shop at BUY BUY BABY often but you've picked up some really nice items. I will be stopping by. You are right it's better to layer them and go from there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! I wish I had this when my daughter was super little. She's 2 now. I would bundle her up to the highest degree the see her sweating then stop wherever I am and take all her clothes off again lol. Now she's at an age where she can communicate more. I never been to Buy Buy Baby. I should check it out.
