Clothes for newborns and babies up to 3 months: how much is needed and how to choose

They say that buying a dowry for a baby before his birth is a bad omen. But although many pregnant women become extremely superstitious, almost none of them can resist going to the children's store. And this is absolutely true - signs of omens, and there will be absolutely no time to make purchases after the birth of a child. You do not trust your husband as a choice of diapers and vest.

What does the future mother need to know when going to the children's store for the first time?

Varieties

There are not so many kinds of children's clothes, although the eyes always diverge from a variety of styles and colors.

  • Body This is an extremely convenient thing. The buttons between the legs firmly hold the body in place, do not allow him to bully, get out of the sliders and expose the child’s body, which is especially important during walks and sleep. Thanks to this clasp, you can easily change the diaper, without undressing the baby entirely.

Bodie are as T-shirts, and with short and long sleeves. Should pay attention to the fastener. Bodysuit for the smallest should be completely unbuttoned in the middle, and not just on the shoulders, in order not to have to pass the loose neck and head of the child into the narrow neck.

  • Jumpsuits (slips) - they are sometimes called "little men." In such clothes, the child is always comfortable and comfortable. They do not crawl, do not rub, do not interfere with knowing the world. In the “little man” chosen in size, the child sleeps well, free cut and natural material allow the skin to breathe and protect from overheating. In overalls with footprints, the legs will always stay warm.
  • Undershirts. This is the first, and one of the most important clothes for a baby, because she is worn from the very first days during swaddling. As a rule, the sleeves have long sleeves, ending with lapels - scratches. This is convenient, since the baby does not accidentally remove such scratches. Sew them seams out, so as not to damage the delicate skin.

Baby's undershirts come in as simple as a smell, “under the diaper”, and with buttons, for children a little older. Well, when the button is on the shoulder, not on the side - there it can interfere with the child during sleep. When choosing, do not forget that a too thin vest can roll under a diaper and rub, in too tight a baby can sweat and earn a rash.

  • Blouses. Blouse, in contrast to the vest, can be both with fasteners in the middle, and solid, with fasteners on the shoulders. Scratches on blouses are no longer there - this is clothes for slightly grown up children. They are needed, mainly on the way out, since at home the child can be hot in them.
  • Sliders. There is no more room for the imagination of designers of children's clothing, as when creating sliders. For newborn babies, the most comfortable are the high sliders - with buckles on the shoulders. They do not slip, the vest will not crawl out of them, the legs are protected by traces.

On slightly grown-up children, you can wear sliders with a rubber band, which should be given special attention - it should in no case be tight and rough, leave marks on the skin. Good sliders with a wide outer elastic band that fits tightly around the body, and does not cause discomfort. For the baby lying on the back all the time, the traces of his pants are not so important, the main thing is that they are in size and do not squeeze the leg.

  • Sandboxes. This is the joy of summer kids, because they are so nice to walk. They usually have fasteners on the shoulders, in the middle and between the legs, which is very convenient for changing the diaper on the street. The difference between the sandbox and the jumpsuit are short sleeves and short pants, allowing the kid to enjoy the summer sun and breeze.
  • Caps. The body of the newborn is still extremely weak and vulnerable, and the crumbs can easily be blown even by a minor draft, an imperceptible adult. Therefore, the cap is always necessary. The smallest caps are made seams out and with ties under the throat, so as not to crawl into the eyes and did not open the ears. But such strings can often rub and interfere with the child. A cap without strings, with an elastic band in this respect is more convenient, but mothers do not like them because they always slip off their heads.
  • Socks. The most appealing detail of a newborn's wardrobe is tiny socks. The socks are important, since the small body still has a poorly controlled system of thermoregulation and the legs of the crumbs are always cold. The socks should have a tight, but not tight gum, they should be easy to put on and take off.
  • Booties. They are warmer and more comfortable than socks, since it is not so easy for a baby to get rid of them thanks to ties. Usually booties knit mothers or grandmothers, putting their love in them and showing unlimited imagination. Factory booties also differ in a variety of styles and materials. The main thing is that the baby’s legs do not sweat in them, and the yarn does not cause irritation.
  • Scrabble. Small mittens with elastic bands are necessary for the baby to protect him from his own sharp marigolds. The hands of a child in the first weeks of life are almost in motion all the time, and he can very easily injure himself. Scratches should not be warm, and such in size that the baby can freely unclench and compress the cam.

How to choose

Every mother worries that suddenly all the things she bought will be small. To prevent this from happening, you should first ask your parents and husband’s parents what you yourself were born of. As a rule, if the family has at least a large dad, then the child will be born large, moreover, on the last ultrasound, the mother is told the approximate size of the fetus, which can be oriented. However, lest it happen, buying clothes comes with a stock - from size 56. If a child is born 50 cm, you can always call your relatives to buy things of this size.

When choosing, you should pay attention to the country of origin and the material from which the thing is made - it must be hypoallergenic and 100% natural. As a rule, most things are sewn from cotton of various densities of dressing. The thinnest ones are made of interlock and kulirna surface, warmer of footer, maher and flannel. To determine the quality of the material, just remember it in your hand - it should be smooth, without seals, soft and pleasant to the touch. Pay attention to the quality of the seams, so that the overlock threads do not stick out and there are no knots.

Check whether all the buttons on things work - to replace such a problem is very difficult, and it becomes impossible to wear clothes.

Do not buy items with a large number of decorative parts - ruffles, ruffles, patch pockets. They will only interfere with the baby, falling on the face, creating unnecessary seals.

What clothes are needed and how much

I want to buy children's clothes all in a row, because she is so cute and causes a pleasant excitement from thoughts that soon there will be a little man in it. But you need to pull yourself together and approach the issue with the mind, so that later never used things are not clogged the entire cabinet.

The number of necessary things depends on whether the mother plans to swaddle the child, or, following a fashionable trend, will dress him up from the first days on. You may notice that pediatricians are still arguing about whether to swaddle a child and how long to do it. But often a child is born so tiny that things of even size 50 are too large for him and you have to wait 2-3 weeks before putting on his first outfit. Therefore, for the first time, while the baby does not leave the apartment, mom will need only shirts, socks, caps and scratches.

Make up a wardrobe based on what time of year is expected joyful event.

For winter

Winter kids in the wardrobe will need:

  • Caps - A pair of thin for home and a pair of more dense for walking.
  • 3-4 overalls. A pair of thin to sleep and a pair of warm on the way out.
  • Socks of different density (at least 4-5 pairs), if it is cold in the house, you cannot do without a pair of booties.
  • Two pairs of scratches.
  • Undershirts - two or three cotton and two or three flannel.
  • Blouses - a couple for walking.
  • Sliders and body. Their number depends on how much you plan to use diapers and diapers. If you expect to do at home without them, then for a day you will need at least 20 pieces of sliders and 10 body pieces.

Plus do not forget about the warm envelope for discharge and further walks, as well as a warm hat.

In the fall

The wardrobe of the children born in the fall is almost the same as the wardrobe of the winter children. They also need thin and warm overalls, vests and caps. The walking envelope may not be as warm as it is for winter, but do not count too much on the autumn sun. On rainy days, take care of the raincoat on the stroller, so that your baby does not get wet, but as soon as the first snow falls, it is better to warm the child according to the winter variant.

In the spring

In the spring, you want to quickly get rid of warm things. But if you have already rebuilt yourself, do not rush to unravel a newborn baby - it will freeze for a long time. Even if your joy comes to light in May, get for him not only light, but also warm clothes, although, of course, you will need fewer thin underclothes and overalls less than flannel ones.

For summer

Summer children most expanse. For them, designers are trying to sew the most beautiful models, because every young mother wants her baby in the stroller to be the most beautiful. If your baby was born in the summer, then you will need:

  • 2-3 thin caps or hats + a pair of thick for cool weather
  • 3-4 thin jumpsuits, and keep at least one warm at home in the closet
  • 4-5 walking bodysuits with short sleeves and the same amount of sandboxes
  • A pair of blouses, suddenly throw a child on top
  • 5-6 pairs of thin and tight socks
  • For the house you will need 3-4 thin shirts and 20 pieces of sliders.

For a girl, you can choose a pair of dresses “on the way out”, but remember that just a little in a dress can still be very uncomfortable.

The main thing is not to buy a lot of things at once, because children grow very quickly.
