New mom here! And idk how im gonna keep baby warm during the Chicago winters (we will need to go out cause of daycare). I know that snow suits aren't recommended because of the car seat... does that mean that winter coats are out of the picture too? I'm just wondering what I should buy, or if just a sweater and blanket on top will do..? I saw this mom use a poncho type thing.. im thinking of maybe that? Idk how have you previously done it or how will you do it? Help me out lol she is gonna be 8 months
