Posted by Unknown on 1:08 AM with No comments
Today, baby clothes are available in more adorable designs than ever before, so it can be overwhelming for first-time parents to know where to start when shopping for their new arrival. An infant's tender skin needs to protect, and clothing must also be comfortable and fit properly. This guide provides the basics of everything you wanted to know about baby clothes to help make a selection easier.
It can expected that a baby will need his or her clothes changed several times a day, so a large quantity of readily washable, comfortable outfits will be needed. As a rule of thumb, it's most practical to buy clothes in the child's current size. It's only a matter of time before parents will need to stock up on the next size because infants grow rapidly.
The term "layette" refers to the collection of necessities needed to care for an infant. It includes essential clothing items for play, sleeping, outdoors etc., and also other pieces such as bathing and feeding accessories, and bedding, but the focus here will be on clothing, in particular. All items should provide comfort, and be easy to use and care.
Perhaps the one item a baby will need the most of are the one-piece underwear suits with the snaps in the crotch, also known as "onesies". These are great to wear under other clothes and can be worn by themselves in the summer. Having several pull-over t-shirts is also a good idea, since these can easily pair with any bottoms. Long-sleeved and legged sleepers with feet are an excellent choice for the child to sleep in and prevent heat loss.
The baby's head and feet need to be covered in colder weather too, so having a few seamless, knit caps and some loosely elastic Velcro booties is necessary. Two types of bibs needed as well, smaller teething bibs to protect the infant's clothes from drool. And larger feeding bibs to keep the child's clothes clean when he or she starts eating solid food.
Other common outfits a child is likely to need in his or her first year include rompers, which are one-piece garments that consist of attached shorts and shirt and snaps at the crotch. An "overall" is a version of this only with long sleeves and covered legs that can wear when it is colder. "Shortalls" have long legs but short sleeves and are suitable for any weather.
During winter, an infant will need to be dressed in three layers of clothing. The first should be a loose, non-absorbent material. The second needs to both trap air and also absorb any perspiration wool or fleece are ideal. And lastly the third layer must be water and wind-resistant to protect the child from the elements, such as nylon or polyester. If the baby seems too warm, a layer can be removed, or zipper undone.
Baby clothes are sized according to age or weight and height groups. The size range considered "infants" ranges from newborn to 24 months or 5-29 pounds and 10-36 inches in height. Most often it's advisable to buy a size larger than what the child is since they usually run small and may not fit for long.
