Make sure that it does not press, rub or irritate, and the fabric and threads used for sewing consist of environmentally friendly and natural materials, ideally 100% cotton.

How to determine the size of clothes

Clothing size is determined by the growth of the baby. If you buy new clothes during pregnancy, you can calculate the height and weight of the newborn based on the results of ultrasound.

According to standard labeling, sizes for newborns can be 50, 56, and 62 cm. On average, the size of the crumbs is 50–56 cm, which means that it fits 56 sizes. Sometimes a baby is born large (about 58 cm), and he needs to buy clothes of 62 size. If the calf was born prematurely, and its growth is about 48 cm, new size 50 clothes will be needed.

When buying, keep in mind that the baby will soon grow and in a month he will need more clothes. Therefore, you should not buy a lot of small things, you may not even have time to use them.

Hats and caps should be chosen taking into account the circumference of the baby's head. It can be 32–40 cm. In most cases, the size will be the 36th or 38th.

The size of the socks is determined by the length of the foot, i.e. if the length is 9 cm, then socks are needed 9th size. But it will not be superfluous to buy more products for growth.

What clothes do baby need

The body of the newborn can not maintain a certain body temperature, so the baby can easily be supercooled or overheat. To prevent this, you need to use special clothing that protects from the sun, wind and other environmental factors. Therefore, in the first months of life, the baby will need overalls, body, socks, sliders and undershirts, caps and scratches.

Body

Children need these products at any time of the year. Short models are suitable for summer and if the house is hot, and long-sleeved bodysuits will be a great help during the cold season. They can be worn with sliders and pants, to hook under the jumpsuit.

Choose bodysuits that can be easily removed or put on (for example, on buttons). So it will be easier for you to change your baby’s clothes or change a diaper.

For summer kids, you need two or three bodysuits with short sleeves; for winter babies, two models with long sleeves; for spring or autumn ones, two long sleeves and two short sleeves.

Cap

The head of the newborn during the walk and after taking a bath should be closed. Therefore caps and hats will be useful to you. They protect the head of the baby from wind, sun and other adverse environmental conditions, as well as prevent hypothermia fontanel.

For the first time, a baby will need two or three cotton bonnets. If you are using a woolen or knitted hat, stick a thin cotton cap under it so that your baby does not have an allergy.

Jumpsuits

Overalls are sewn from different density fabrics and can be designed for different seasons. There are warm models with long sleeves and trousers, and there are products with short sleeves and pants. Such overalls are also called slipy or little men.

For newborns, you should choose the products on the buttons - thanks to this, clothes can be easily removed, change the diaper and re-dress the baby.

Also sold overalls, which play the role of outerwear. In their production, waterproof and windproof materials and insulation are commonly used: down, wool or synthetic winterizer.

If the baby was born in winter, you will need two warm little men (for example, from a footer or velor), two or three models easier and a jumpsuit with insulation. For the autumn and spring kids, three light little men and a warm overalls will suffice, and for summer kids - two slips.

Sliders

There are romper pants and romper with breast and back, which are fixed on the shoulders with buttons, ties or small buttons.

Pants are not recommended to use for children who have not yet healed the navel, as the gum can rub a sore spot. They are not suitable for kids who are beginning to move and crawl. Pants slip and hinder the cub. Models with breast and back are more suitable for crawling babies. It is better to choose products that are fixed on the shoulders with buttons.

It is unacceptable to use models in which a baby bends fingers or knees, i.e. the length of the foot and leg of the product does not match the feet of the baby. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account that in the sliders the pop of the calf is freely placed in the diapers.

For babies born in winter, summer, autumn or spring, for the first time two sliders will suffice.

Undershirts

They look like blouses, but they have no zippers. They are comfortable to wear, but they often get off, twist and create discomfort for the baby. In principle, it is not necessary to buy undershirts. They can be replaced by bodysuits and overalls. Most mothers use baby clothes only when swaddling.

A newborn born in the summer, autumn or spring may need somewhere two undershirts.

Socks

Baby socks will be needed in winter and summer. Cotton products, as a rule, do not hold well on a small foot, but if you choose a product made of cotton mixed with synthetics, the kid will not lose his socks.

Mittens or scratches

Babies grow marigolds very quickly, so they can accidentally scratch themselves. To protect the calf from its "raging" pens, you need to wear scratches. For the first time, one or two pairs of mittens will be enough for a small boot.
