How to dress newborns in winter?

Pregnant mothers are both excited and overwhelmed when welcoming the arrival of a new life. Many new parents worry that if the baby is born in winter, they don’t know how to dress the baby. In fact, the skin of a newborn is generally very delicate. Therefore, when parents prepare clothes for the baby, it is best to buy pure cotton or cotton-padded clothes. This type of clothes is softer, sweat-absorbent, and breathable, and it is also more comfortable for the baby to wear.

1. Cloth sheet + blanket

Generally, when a baby is born, the hospital will provide two sets of small blankets for a fee. The baby basically does not need to wear clothes during the confinement period and is wrapped in a small sheet and a small blanket. If there is heating at home, mothers only need to prepare two more small sheets. Any more will be of no use. Babies under one year old grow very fast, and it would be a waste to buy too many. If the heating is not turned on, you can add a thicker jumpsuit.

2. Monk's Clothes

The tops for babies aged 0-3 months are generally in the style of monk clothes. Because the necks of newborns are relatively soft, pullover clothes are difficult to put on and take off. The design of monk clothes is especially suitable for newborn babies. Generally, 4 pieces are enough, because children grow very fast in the first three months and they look different every day, so it would be a waste to buy too many.

However, because it is winter, after wearing the monk's clothes, you have to wrap the baby with a blanket of moderate thickness on the outside. But don't cover the baby too much or dress too thickly to avoid heat stroke syndrome.

3. Jumpsuit

Because babies have no waist and are very soft, wearing two-piece clothes will squeeze their stomachs; I also think clothes with small ropes are unsafe, as the knots will pinch the baby. Overall, onesies are more convenient and safer. Be sure to note that the buttons on the onesies should be made of plastic, not iron, to avoid iron allergies in your baby.

Moreover, the jumpsuit can effectively protect the baby's belly, and the clothes will not ride up when holding the baby. If it is a jumpsuit with feet, it will protect the little feet very well. Mothers can buy several pieces of both thin and thick ones. Generally, they can wear thin onesies if there is heating at home, and wear thick onesies and wrap themselves in a blanket when going out.

4. Close-fitting underwear

Many mothers only pay attention to keeping the baby warm and ignore the baby's underwear. In fact, underwear is particularly important to the baby's skin. Babies need to wear soft cotton underwear, which not only absorbs sweat but also keeps air around the skin, blocking the loss of body heat. Babies are not prone to getting sick, so the underwear must be soft and close-fitting.

1. Keep your head cool

When dressing their babies, parents should be careful not to cover the baby's head and neck too high, as this can cause discomfort to the baby, leading to dizziness and sweating, causing discomfort to the baby. It is best to wear cotton products for babies, which are gentle, do not irritate the skin, and absorb sweat.

2. Touch the back of the neck

When adding clothes to a newborn, you can touch the back of the baby's neck first. If it is warm, you don't need to add clothes, which means the baby is not cold. If you touch your baby's back and find sweat on it, it means he is wearing too many clothes and you need to take off his clothes. If your child sweats, you need to change his underwear in time.

3. Follow the "three warmths"

How to dress newborns in winter? If new mothers have no experience, they can follow the "three warm" rule. The "three warmths" refers to keeping three parts of the baby's body warm: "keep the back warm, keep the belly warm, and keep the feet warm."

1. Choose pure cotton clothes for your baby. Pure cotton has superior breathability, water absorption and softness, and is not likely to cause skin allergies in babies. Clothes made of chemical fiber materials are more irritating and can easily cause allergies in babies.

2. When choosing clothes for your baby, try to choose one size larger so that the baby can wear loose and comfortable clothes and the clothes will not be too tight for the baby due to rapid growth.

3. In addition, the lighter the color and the simpler the pattern, the better. Good quality baby clothes are very simple but well-cut styles and very light colors, which will reduce the irritation of textile dyes on the newborn's skin.
