When it comes to the cold, you’re the mom who cried “wolf.” (See: your kids’ fleece hats and snowsuits. In September.)
But January temps call for Babies in Sheep’s Clothing. So much sweeter than Uggs, the handmade boots and slippers are crafted in New Zealand from ethically sourced sheepskin and lambskin.
The boots come in low-rise styles, classic baby booties and a sturdier shape for older kids. But look out for jackets, gilets, hats and mittens, too, as well as super-soft lambskins for push-chairs, cots or just lounging.
So your flock will stay toasty inside and out.
Leaving you nothing to bleat about.
