- Care for your baby's delicate skin with rich moisturizers to avoid dryness and irritation in autumn.
- Recommendation: Use moisturizing lotions or creams that are specifically formulated for babies.

- Recommendation: Choose waterproof shoes or boots made from breathable materials.
- Make sure they fit well and don't forget to check your shoes regularly for moisture.
6. Indoor activities in bad weather
