Exposed tummies

Time and time again, I see baby's tummies exposed to the elements. When we carry our babies or when they are crawling around on the floor, their shirts can go up and their little tummies can get a little cold.

In our family, we dressed our babies with a short sleeved, legless bodysuit or onesie (we like Carter's brand) under everything.

With the snaps under their diaper, their tummies stayed covered and warm. Then we usually layered this with cotton elastic-waist pants and a sweatshirt. This also works great for babies who like to take off their own blanket sleepers, pants, or diapers! They usually can't undo the snaps.
