I remember holding my daughter for the first time and realizing how thin her little jacket was against the December wind. That moment sent me on a hunt for the best suede jackets for newborns, the kind that look adorable in family photos but still pass the warmth test on a stroller walk. Suede jackets … Read more

When my daughter came home from the hospital in October, I packed three different jackets in her diaper bag because I had no idea what she actually needed.
