do you have any useful tips or tricks regarding dressing the baby while babywearing in the fall/winter? last year we relied on blankets in the stroller, but that's not going to work with carriers. obviously she will need to be dressed warmly, but with the carrier providing an extra layer i am a bit concerned about overheating, especially in ( Read more... )
