Eugene and Eu Anne who live in tropical climate like Malaysia really enjoy the cold weather in Hanoi. Basically, we need a cold hat, which will help keeping the whole body warm. We didn't bring any with us, but it's ok, as there were plenty of shops selling it with a wide variety of designs with cheap price. We bought Eugene and Eu Anne's cold hat for Vietnamese Dong 30,000 each, which is around RM7. The stretchy cold hat which Eugene and Eu Anne were wearing could be pulled down low enough to protect the ears and best of all, it's impossible to blow off in the wind. :-)
It's advisable to bring shawls or scarfs to go around our neck and keeping it warm too. Look at the happy Eugene with my shawl around his neck. :-)
Also, don't forget the sunscreen cream/lotion, as the sun's radiation is more intense in cold weather. Lip balm is very important to prevent chapped lips. For nursing moms, you may want to bring the nursing cream to keep the nipples moisturised or you will find it painful when the weather gets really cold. :-) You don't need the lip balm if you have the nursing cream with you, as most nursing cream is widely used to prevent or cure chapped lips too, and most of all, it's edible and safe for babies.
