What to wear for our holiday to Paris?

My husband and I are taking our 12 month old son to Disneyland Paris in February this year. I've been told that it is extremely cold at this time of year. For those of you who have been to Paris, please can you tell me how many clothes layers we will need? I especially want to know how many layers my son will need as he'll be in his buggy and won't be keeping himself warm by walking around the park like us. Thanks in advance!

1. i dont know where you live, so cant make a comparison, but it is cold, three or 4 layers, and for baby in a buggy, add a slleping bag
2. Generally Paris round that time of year is round freezing, but keep an eye on the weather predictions when you pack, in case there is a cold spell. If there are cold winds you, and specially your son, will feel the cold much more. On the other hand, if there is a warm spell, sitting out in the sun, sheltered from the wind can be done in a T-shirt and thin sweater. And it also depend on what you are used to, people from northern Norway will always find it mild, people from the Canaries will always find it cold. Basic list for packing for Paris in winter: Jeans or alike, if you are from a warm climate, thin trousers or leggings for underneath. T-shirts or blouses. Sweater, if you are from a warm climate thick fleece as well. Proper winter coat, with a waterproof outer layer. Otherwise a warm jacket and a rain jacket. Underwear and socks. Shoes that are comfy and still warm. If you have them hiking boots are great, warm and comfy. But in any case, waterproof shoes big enough to wear warm thick socks inside. And take a second pair of shoes, if only light shoes to change into when in your room at night. Layering is the way to adjust for the actual weather.
