Winter clothes for newborns

Expecting the appearance of a baby in the winter, the expectant mother should think about purchasing special winter clothes for newborns.

If your baby was born in winter, then he should have warm clothes for winter. Despite the fact that the baby is very small, it must be taken out for a walk. Warm clothes for winter will come in handy if the room where the baby is located is cool enough. In newborn babies, the ability to thermoregulate is still very poorly developed, so babies freeze easily and also sweat easily.

The main types of clothing for newborns:

1. Overalls or overalls-transformer. The difference between a transforming overall and a regular overall is that it can be used as an envelope thanks to special fasteners (buttons or zippers). When the baby grows up, it can be buttoned up like a jumpsuit.
2. A little man or slip is an indispensable thing in a newborn's wardrobe. Such overalls are made from various natural fabrics: cotton, linen, knitwear or flannelette.
3. Body - also popular with young mothers. Due to the fact that the bodysuit is fastened between the legs, you can not worry that your baby's back will be exposed if he actively moves.
4. Blouses and sliders act as an alternative to men. It is more convenient if instead of buttons, they will be fastened with buttons. So you can change your baby's clothes faster.
5. Socks, booties, mittens-scratches - additional accessories designed to keep the baby's legs and arms warm.
6. Hats - a wide variety of models with and without ties, warm and thin.

When purchasing winter clothes for newborns, you should pay attention to:

1. Outer fabric - it is necessary that it perfectly passes air and removes moisture. The lining should "breathe", that is, remove excess heat so that your baby does not overheat.
2. The fittings of the product - zippers, buttons, buttons and other fasteners should be comfortable and well fastened, since you will have to change the baby's clothes more than once.
3. Type of insulation - it must be made either from natural material, for example, from sheepskin, or from hypoallergenic synthetic material, for example, synthetic winterizer or isosoft.

When choosing winter clothes for newborns, be guided by some rules:

1. Buy clothes for newborns that are made from natural fabrics such as cotton or wool. Synthetic material, in contact with the skin of the baby, can cause irritation or cause allergic reactions.
2. It is acceptable to buy outerwear, for example, overalls for walking on the street, which are made of synthetic fabric.
3. A variety of fasteners, such as zippers, buttons or buttons, should not prevent the baby from moving.
4. The seams should be sewn outward so as not to come into contact with the delicate skin of the newborn, do not rub or injure it.
5. Elastic bands on clothes should also not be tight so as not to squeeze the skin. This also applies to the rubber bands on the socks. If the elastic bands on the socks are tight, they will interfere with blood circulation in the baby's legs.
6. You should not buy clothes with a lot of frills, ruffles. Although such elements add an attractive look to the clothes, they can cause discomfort to your baby.
7. Also pay attention to the colors of clothes for newborns. It is better if it is in soft, delicate shades, such as cream, light pink, light blue, white and other pastel shades. Babies are very sensitive to bright poisonous colors.
8. The pattern on the clothes should be small and unobtrusive.

Some future mothers are afraid to buy some things before the baby arrives. Leaving the right to choose clothes and things for the newborn to her husband or relatives. In doing so, you run the risk that you may simply not like things or forget something in a hurry.

Therefore, it is worth discarding prejudices and buying the necessary things for a newborn baby, at least for the first time. In any case, going to the hospital, in addition to your things, a package for the baby should be collected. It is better to let your husband be with you during childbirth, supporting you and rejoicing with you in the first minutes when your baby is born, than running around the shops and frantically looking for all the necessary things.

So, the list of necessary things for the first time is not so big:

• Several flannel and cotton diapers. It is better if the diaper size is somewhere around 90 by 110 cm: it will be convenient to wrap the baby in such a diaper if you decide to swaddle it; you can lay diapers in the crib or on the changing table when you change your baby; with a diaper, you can gently wipe the child after you bought it or washed your ass.
• Several pieces of little men or slips. In such clothes, the baby can both sleep and stay awake. It is necessary to purchase several pieces of warm men and several thin slips. If your room is warm, then men made of cotton will do. In thin men, your baby will not be hot. If, on the contrary, it is cool in your place, then it is better to put flannelette slips on the baby so that he does not freeze.
• Body with long sleeves or blouses-undershirts. It is better if the blouses-undershirts will be fastened with buttons. This will make it easier for you to dress your baby.
• Rompers that fasten with buttons on the shoulders. Your baby will be comfortable in these pants. You can create different sets by combining sliders with bodysuits and undershirts. You should not buy sliders with elastic bands. If your baby is very active and constantly moving, then such sliders will fall off all the time.
• Socks or booties. At first, the baby's legs will constantly freeze, so it is important to put socks or booties on top of sliders or little men. They can be both warm and thin, depending on the temperature in the room.
• Scratches. If bodysuits, blouses or little men do not have closable sleeves. Then you should buy a few pairs of scratches. Babies are born with nails, plus nails grow very quickly. So that the baby does not scratch himself or hurt himself, special scratch mittens are put on his hands.In addition, they perform another function, keep small hands warm.
• Thin hat or cap. It is worth putting it on after you bought the baby, and the hair is not yet dry, and also under a warm hat if you are going for a walk.
• Warm hat. It can be made from various materials, such as wool or sheepskin. The main thing is that your baby should not be cold during walks.
• Overalls or overalls-transformers. If you choose a regular jumpsuit, make sure that the arms and legs are closed so that your baby does not freeze outside. Overalls or overalls-transformers can have a heater made of various materials, for example, synthetic winterizer, sheepskin, holofiber or isosoft.

The expectant mother, when packing things for the hospital, needs to put in a separate bag the things that the baby will need for discharge.

If your baby is due to be born in winter, then you need to take with you:

• Transforming overalls, an envelope or a warm blanket. Here the choice is yours. The envelope is a very nice option, but you will only need it once when you pick up your baby from the hospital. It is unlikely that you will walk on the street with a baby wrapped in a smart envelope. A warm blanket and transforming overalls are more practical things. In a transforming overalls, your baby will be able to feel great on winter walks. And with a warm blanket you can cover the baby for a long time, even when he grows out of the stroller. You can cover the baby with a blanket when he is sledding.

• Warm hat. It is imperative that the hat was on the ties. If it is without ties, the baby runs the risk of exposing the head, accidentally turning it.

• Thin cotton hat.First you should put on a regular hat, and then a warm one. Just like a warm hat, a thin hat should also be tied.

• Nice slip or bodysuit and sliders for discharge. There are a lot of beautiful models for discharge. For example, for a young gentleman, you can pick up clothes with a painted bow tie or tie, which will give the baby a certain charm, and you will have beautiful photos as a keepsake.

• Warm jumpsuit or blouse and pants, for example, made of fleece. This is a soft material that retains heat well.

• Socks. So that the legs of a newborn baby do not freeze, be sure to put on socks for him.

• A thin and flannel diaper is useful if you decide to swaddle your baby and wrap him in a warm blanket. If you purchase a transformer overalls for discharge as outerwear, then you simply do not need diapers.

Approach the choice of things for the newborn thoughtfully, and then your baby will not only be charming, but will also feel comfortable and comfortable in them.
