Hi there! Our oldest was born in September and having a winter baby really worried me at first. After speaking with our doctor we decided to co sleep since we heat entirely with wood. I know it’s against recommended practices, but it gave me peace of mind that she would always be warm. We also had a sleep sack if co sleeping isn’t for you.

As for riding the snow machine and ATV, we use a Boba wrap. The baby fits nice and snug against you, and its easy to wear a large jacket over top. For long rides I always stopped and checked positioning and let some fresh air in during. Both girls fell asleep as soon as they were placed in the wrap, which makes for safer and more comfortable riding!

Good luck and congrats!

We’re living off grid in Trapper Creek AK. I’m expecting a little one in January. Any winter tips with a baby? And I’m curious what type of infant carrier you used on a snow machine/atv.
