I’m a big believer that if you are looking for something, the best place to go to find it is with people who have the same problems you do, or worse problems than you do. In years past, I looked for wool tights on Canadian internet sites and had good luck there. Winter boots? Ditto. But when it came to clothing to keep little guys warm, I came up with a big ‘meh’. I think manufacturers on this side of the pond believe that all babies are brought up in tropical environments because the warmest thing you can find is fleece blanket sleepers, which kids do not wear all the time. And if you have a little kid who is now ‘going mobile’, then they are sitting or crawling on the floor, which is going to be at the least cooler than the ambient temperatures and if you keep a cool house (the way WE do here at Chez Siberia), we’re talking temperatures at ground level in the 50 degree range.
