💡 Hirah’s Winter Clothing Tips (From My Experience)

  1. Feel it first — If it feels rough in my hand, it won’t work for her.
  2. No surprise changes — We practice wearing new jackets indoors before we actually need them.
  3. Layer smart — Thin, soft layers instead of one bulky piece.
  4. Double up — If we find the one, I buy two so we’re not hunting next year.

When you’ve got the right sensory-friendly winter wear, it’s not just about warmth — it’s about confidence and comfort for your child. And when Hirah feels good, we all feel good.
