Keep Babies Bundled Safely This Winter

Here are a few tips from the Union County Health Department:
  • Consider how you dress for weather and add one extra layer for babies six months or less.
  • Add a hat, mittens and warm shoes.  
  • Check in with your child.  They can not tell you if they're hot or cold.  Feel their skin, coloring of cheeks and temperament.
