Initial equipment for winter babies in Karlsruhe

Shopping for newborns is the biggest thing for parents-to-be. Rompers, socks, hats and much more - it's easy to lose track of what's really important and what a newborn needs. Especially in the cold months, this is not so easy. But in Karlsruhe's city center, the city's retailers know how to help expectant parents, friends and families with the initial outfitting of their winter babies.

Onion principle for Karlsruhe babies - several layers of clothing for indoors and outdoors

It's cold outside, but the rooms are heated, so it's important to take a closer look when choosing clothes for newborns and make the right choice for their first outfit. Similar to spring and fall, the onion look makes sense here so that newborns don't overheat in warm rooms but are well protected in the cold outside. "Materials such as wool/silk are perfect for this as they regulate the temperature," explains Nicki Gohl from "Hergard". "We have wool overalls for outdoors, which are available in various colors and sizes from the brands Engel, Pure Pure or hust & clair. These are also great for babies in carriers," she adds.

If you want to dress your little ones comfortably yet stylishly for Christmas, you will also find what you are looking for at "Hergard".
