How to choose clothes for newborn babies

Newborns spend most of their time eating and sleeping, so their cells divide very quickly and their bodies grow very fast. Therefore, the clothes you buy for your baby will feel much smaller if you don’t wear them for a month. In addition, the skin of newborns is relatively delicate, so when buying clothes for your baby, you must choose soft and non-irritating fabrics to prevent your baby from being allergic to the fabric. Let’s take a look at how to choose clothes for newborns.

Because babies under three years old grow very fast, don't prepare too many clothes for babies aged 0 to 3 years old. It would be a waste to buy too much. Also inform relatives and friends in advance and ask them to wait until the baby is 3 years old before sending clothes.

Buy seasonal clothes

Calculate the month your baby will be born and the season when he is 6 months old. Then prepare clothes for your baby according to the season. Otherwise, when your baby is 6 months old and it is summer, you will prepare a bunch of small cotton-padded jackets but you won’t be able to wear them, which would be a waste.

texture

Babies have delicate skin, so their clothes must be made of pure cotton, especially close-fitting clothes.

color

The vision of newborns is still in the development stage, so their clothes should not be too bright or too colorful, but soft and elegant colors.

shape

Newborns: Onesie with a slanted collar or no collar

For babies aged three to four months: choose clothes with loose necklines

Baby clothes after four months: You can choose separate clothes to facilitate baby's activities. The pants should not be too tight to avoid restricting the baby's breathing.

decorate

Try to avoid metal, zippers, buttons and other decorations that may hurt the baby on the baby's clothes; also try to avoid straps to avoid entanglement of the baby.

1. Choose the right style of clothes.

When buying clothes for babies, it is best to buy clothes with buttons on the chest. When dressing your child, just gently lift the arms on both sides, put them into the sleeves, and pull the little hands out. In addition, if it is a style such as a pullover, it is recommended to wait until the child is older before purchasing it.

2. The pants should be soft.

It is best for babies to wear soft and comfortable pants. When putting pants on babies, parents can roll up the trouser legs first, put the baby's feet in, and then slowly pull the trouser legs to lay the pants flat. During this period, remember not to be nervous or anxious, otherwise you may easily make mistakes in a hurry, strain or hurt your baby, and end up not being able to dress your baby properly.

3. One-piece clothing is best.

This style of clothes is flexible and convenient to put on and take off, and is loved by many mothers. However, when wearing them, you should pay attention to whether the temperature of these clothes is appropriate. Untie the straps of the onesie, put your baby into the clothes as mentioned above, and then tie the straps after putting the clothes on.

4. The jacket should be loose.

It is much easier to put a coat on your baby than to put on inner clothes. When buying a coat for your baby, you can buy a relatively loose coat, and it is best if it has buttons or zippers on the front. When putting on, roll up the sleeves, put your child's hands into the sleeves, then gently pull down the sleeves, button up the clothes or pull up the chain of the clothes.
