Clothes for newborns: how to choose and how much you need

When the family is expected to replenish, future parents are often ready to buy half the store, so cute little things for newborns adorn their shelves today. And as a rule, then a lot of everything bought like this is never put on your baby. Therefore, before buying, you need to understand some of the nuances of this issue.

When the baby is brought home from the hospital, he should already have personal items there, these include:

• undershirts with outward seams or seamless calico blouses;
• sliders;
• bodysuit;
• slips;
• bonnets;
• scratches;
• sleeping bag;
• overalls for walking;
• socks;
• booties.

But the baby's wardrobe is far from everything that should be in the nursery. On a walk, the baby is in a stroller, and at home he will sleep in his own crib or a special cradle. You also need a table on which the baby will be swaddled, a locker where his things will be stored and an armchair in which the mother will feed him.

Even in the children's room there should be a playpen, beautiful decorations should hang on the walls, a night lamp with a dim, calm light is also needed, and let beautiful multi-colored pillows lie on my mother's sofa. You can't do without toys either. They should be simple and bright at first: red or yellow (these are the colors that newborns can first distinguish).

The list of basic newborn wardrobe looks like this:

• warm diapers (with diapers 3-4 pieces, without them - 20 pieces);
• thin diapers (as much as warm ones);
• 4 vests;
• 2 flannel or knitted blouses;
• 4 sliders;
• 3 pairs of cotton socks;
• 1 pair of warm socks;
• 2 bonnets;
• 1 warm hat (not necessary in summer);
• 1 seasonal jumpsuit;
• 4 bodysuits;
• slips - 6 pieces:
• sleeping bag - 1 piece;
• 2 pairs of scratch mittens;
• 1 pair of warm mittens (not necessary in summer);
• 2 pairs of booties.

In spring and autumn, the bodysuit should have a long sleeve, and the envelope should be woolen or on a padding polyester, and the hat should be knitted. Everything else is the same.

In winter, in addition to all of the above, you will also need a fur hat lined with cotton, warm socks, fleece overalls, a warm sheepskin envelope or down overalls.

It is clear that you want to buy the most beautiful clothes for your child, however, when it comes to newborn children, the criteria should be completely different:

• Clothing should be comfortable and not interfere with the child's movement. No tight strings or elastic bands needed. Things should be freely put on and taken off, nothing is put on over the head of the newborn. Girls who are already starting to crawl should not buy dresses - the baby will be very uncomfortable in them;
• do not buy clothes for the baby in size, it should be slightly larger so that there is three centimeters of free space between the child’s body and the clothes;
• the fabric from which the clothes are sewn must be of high quality and always natural, the buttons must be firmly sewn on, as well as buttons and any other fastener options.

Clothing for premature babies should help them replenish the function of thermoregulation of the body. This can be done by using additional pads on the feet of the sliders. The best padding is made of camel wool, as the friction of soft fur on the foot stimulates reflex points and effectively warms the child.

It is recommended to buy baby clothes from the following fabrics:

• from merino, because this material will not cause itching and irritation on the baby's skin, as can be the case with ordinary wool. In addition, this wool naturally has elasticity, and therefore products made from it keep their shape year after year;

• organic cotton, this fabric is becoming more and more popular both in Russia and in European countries. After all, ordinary cotton loses its quality when it is harvested by machines, because extraneous garbage in the form of parts of boxes and leaves turns out to be in the raw material.And cotton, called organic, is harvested by hand, and only the most mature seeds are selected. Such cotton is softer and will never cause an allergic reaction;

• cooler, interlock, footer - all these are knitted fabrics with a smooth front side and a gentle fleece from the inside. The material is very soft and gentle - just what a child's sensitive skin needs. Clothing made from such knitwear will be comfortable and warm;

• sew clothes for babies and denim, it makes cute trousers, overalls, rompers. In such clothes your child will look very stylish and feel absolutely comfortable. But such clothes should not be overdried, because it will coarsen from this, but iron it in the “steam” mode and be sure to iron it from the inside out.

The baby needs to buy clothes “for growth”, because this very “growth” is expected to be very active, that is, you really need to buy clothes for a newborn one size, or even two more. And rightly so, because the most active period of growth of a newborn child is precisely the first three months.

Today, mothers have a wonderful assistant in caring for children's things - a washing machine with boiling, hand washing, super rinses, soaking modes ... And all this is fast, high-quality, without much effort. You just need to choose a special gel - just for washing children's things. And the "grandmother's" method with digestion in laundry soap, like any other washing options, is a thing of the past.If you need to wash the diaper, do it manually using baby soap.

Grandmothers, of course, can insist that the best way to wash baby clothes is still washing soap - both cheap and effective, but modern mothers prefer to enjoy the benefits of civilization, and therefore buy special gels and powders designed specifically for washing newborns .

Although there are also mothers who do not consider ironing clothes and clothes for a newborn to be a mandatory process. After all, everything is so clean at home, and all the things of the baby are constantly erased.But pediatricians insist on their own: you need to iron, because this is a detrimental effect on microbes, and clothes after ironing are much more pleasant to the baby’s body than without it.

Ironing things that belong to the baby requires the following rules:

• you can iron both with an iron and with a steamer, and although the iron is more familiar to us, steamers are not just ironing and disinfection, but also the care of soft toys;
• iron every detail of the children's wardrobe from the front and from the wrong side, it is advisable to do this before the child reaches 3 months, but before the umbilical wound heals - be sure;
• since all the things of the child are made of cotton, it is recommended to iron them only when wet, or simply adjust the iron correctly;
• ironed items should be shaken at room temperature, after which they must be folded in piles.
