The first warm rays of sunshine beckon you outside - finally fresh air, nature in bloom and time to explore with your baby. But the weather is often changeable, especially in spring: cool in the morning, mild at midday and fresh in the evening.
So how do you dress your baby so that they neither freeze nor sweat, but feel completely comfortable?
The answer lies in the right combination of layers, high-quality materials and a little preparation. Cashmere in particular is ideal: it is cuddly soft, temperature-regulating, breathable and wonderfully gentle on baby's sensitive skin.
In this article, we show you how to dress your baby practically and stylishly in spring, with outfit ideas, tips for on the go and everything you really need for relaxed spring moments.
Dressing your baby - spring means layers, warmth & comfort
To know what your baby should wear outside in spring, it helps to remember the tried-and-tested onion look - a method that has also proven itself in winter. Several thin layers of clothing are often the best choice, as this allows parents to react flexibly if the weather changes or their little one feels unwell.
It is particularly important to keep an eye on the body temperature of babies, who still react strongly to external stimuli, in order to avoid overheating or overcooling. Thanks to different sizes and soft colors that can be harmoniously combined, each outfit can be individually tailored to your baby - for a stylish yet functional look in spring.
First layer - Gentle on the skin, comfortable to wear
A soft bodysuit, ideally made from high-quality cashmere, is the perfect base layer. It nestles gently against baby's sensitive skin, absorbs moisture and ensures an all-round comfortable feeling - all day long.
Second layer - warmth that feels light
A light cashmere sweater or a fine baby cardigan retains your baby's body heat without overheating. This layer keeps them nice and warm and also looks particularly pretty.
Third layer - protection for little explorers
Whether it's a spring jacket, baby jacket or light baby overall: the outer layer protects against wind, weather and sudden temperature changes. Breathable materials that adapt flexibly to your child's needs are ideal - perfect for out and about in spring.
Depending on the weather, choose a spring jacket or a baby jumpsuit (e.g. a lightweight jumpsuit for the transition). Make sure that the jacket is as windproof and breathable as possible. A softshell material or a thinly lined jumpsuit can work wonderfully in combination with cashmere underneath.
Why cashmere is a real blessing in spring 🤍
Cashmere - even the word sounds noble and exclusive. And cashmere is indeed one of the finest natural materials of all. It comes from the cashmere goat and is characterized by extremely thin fibres. The result is garments that not only feel cuddly soft, but also have excellent temperature-regulating properties.
-
Soft & skin-friendly: Ideal for sensitive baby skin, nothing scratches, nothing irritates.
-
Temperature-regulating: Perfect for changeable temperatures in spring - keeps you warm without overheating.
-
Breathable: Supports your baby's health and ensures a pleasant skin climate.
-
Durable & sustainable: high-quality cashmere items keep their shape even after many washes - a worthwhile investment.
-
Grows with your child: thanks to flexible cuts and sizes, many pieces grow with your child.
-
Versatile: Subtle, timeless colors go with almost any outfit - whether after winter or on sunny spring days.
-
Natural & elegant: Free from unnecessary chemicals - a conscious choice for responsible parents.
In spring, when the sun is shining but there is still a fresh breeze, cashmere is a material that manages this balancing act: warm enough in cool weather, but not oppressive when it gets a little warmer. This makes cashmere the perfect solution for the occasionally moody spring weather.
Outfits for all weathers: three ideas for different spring temperatures
The weather is often crazy, especially in the transitional period - fresh in the morning, mild at midday and cool again in the evening. To make sure your baby is always dressed appropriately, here are three lovingly put together outfit ideas.
🌬️ Windy spring day (around 5-10°C)
-
Long-sleeved bodysuit - preferably made from soft cashmere
-
Cashmere sweater or cardigan as a warming mid-layer
-
Lightly lined baby overall for on the go
-
Hat, baby socks & light gloves if necessary to keep everything nice and warm
☁️ Mild day with sunshine (approx. 10-15°C)
-
Cashmere one-piece + thin trousers or leggings
-
Light cashmere jacket that you can take off if necessary
-
Transition jacket or light cashmere baby overall, wind and water repellent
-
Thin cashmere baby hat to keep the head warm without overheating
☀️ Sunny spring day (15-20°C)
-
Thin bodysuit or shirt, plus romper or leggings
-
Cashmere sweater or thin cardigan to put on in case it cools down
-
Ultralight spring jacket for all occasions
-
Don't forget sun protection: A hat with a UV filter & a shady spot are worth their weight in gold
Cashmere is a blessing, especially on days when it quickly changes from warm to cool, because it keeps your baby warm without making them sweat. This keeps walks relaxed for parents and children alike.
Practical tips for on the go ☀️🧣
Imagine this: You're out and about with the baby carriage, the sun is shining, then suddenly a cool breeze picks up - and your baby gets restless. With a few little tricks, you'll be prepared for anything.
-
Neck check: If your baby's neck feels cool, a layer is missing. If it's warm or damp, it's better to take something off.
-
Zippers & press studs: When buying baby clothes, make sure that they are easy to put on and take off. Press studs in the crotch or on the sleeves make it easier to change quickly and help with changing diapers.
-
Cashmere baby blanket to throw on: A thin baby blanket, preferably made of breathable fabric such as organic cotton or cashmere-cotton blend, can be thrown over quickly when the weather changes.
-
Accessories to hand: A small bag with a spare hat, thin gloves, scarf, socks or baby scarf should always be with you. Especially in spring, a light breeze can quickly become unpleasant if you are not prepared.
With a little practice, the layering principle will quickly become a relaxed routine and your baby will be completely safe, no matter how moody the spring weather is.
