Whether it's a newborn or a five- or six-month-old child, choose clothes for them that must be safe and quality-assured, instead of buying uncomfortable clothes for cheap. In this regard, parents are advised to keep these principles in mind:
1. Safety: try to buy products with the A-label, the color should not be too dark, and do not use messy decorations. If it is a button or a hidden button, be sure to check it clearly, and don't be too loose to be pulled down by the baby/scratch the baby's delicate skin.
When my son was 2 months old, I bought him two bodysuits, they are so comfortable and cute, I love them very much. But when I bathed him at night, I suddenly found that his belly was red and red, like being scratched. After searching for a long time, I found that it was the metal buckle of the jumpsuit near the belly that was scratched.
Since then, I have checked every piece of my son's clothes so that similar problems don't happen again.
When parents dress their babies, they must check several times. For those with buttons, check the tightness of the buttons, so as not to let the baby pull them down and swallow them; for those with hidden buttons, check the hidden buttons to prevent the metal from scratching the baby; You can't relax. Every time you put on your clothes, tie them tighter, don't let them loose and let your baby catch a cold.
2. Material: Newborns have a strong metabolism and often sweat. If the clothes are of poor texture, the sweat absorption and air permeability are too poor, which can easily irritate the skin and affect health.
Therefore, parents should choose pure cotton clothes for their babies, which are not only soft and skin-friendly, but also absorb sweat quickly and reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin.
The style of the clothes should be as simple as possible, and there should be no messy decorations, such as lace, ribbons, beads, etc., which will also harm the baby's health!
According to the developmental characteristics of the baby, choose different styles of clothes
After meeting the two principles mentioned above, parents can choose different styles of clothes according to the developmental characteristics of the baby, such as:
0-1 month baby
Newborn babies are soft and develop rapidly. They either eat, drink, or sleep every day, and they basically don't go out. Moreover, their metabolism is very strong, they sweat a lot, urinate frequently, and need to change their diapers and scrub their butts frequently. So their clothes must be convenient!
Recommendation: monk clothes made of pure cotton. Dress your baby in monk clothes of different thicknesses according to the season, then put on diapers and wrap them in a blanket (no pants if you don't go out).
2-3 months baby
After the full moon, the baby gradually begins to "active", grasping with small hands, pedaling with small feet, and will practice lying down and turning over with the help of mother. If the indoor temperature is suitable, even the bare bottom will not freeze the baby, you can continue to wear him in monk clothes; if it is cold in the room, or if you need to go out, the bare bottom is not suitable, you can put the baby in a loose and comfortable jumpsuit .
Recommended: monk clothes/one-piece suits made of pure cotton.
4-6 months baby
The baby can turn his head up and turn over, and his activity level has increased significantly. Moreover, the baby has also entered the period of oral desire, and especially likes to put objects that can be touched into his mouth. The choice of clothes is very wide, including one-piece suits, fart suits, and split suits. But be careful not to buy clothes with extra decorations.
Recommendation: cotton one-pieces, wraps, and splits.
7-12 months baby
Babies of 7-9 months have mastered the movements of turning over and sitting, and many have begun to crawl. Crawling requires a lot of clothing. If the clothing is too thick and bulky, it will often limit the baby's physical activities, resulting in immobility and inability to crawl. Babies of 10-12 months have entered the toddler period, and the amount of exercise has increased a lot.
For babies of 7-12 months, the style of clothes is very important. Be sure to choose clothes that are comfortable and do not interfere with their physical activities. If it is summer, you can wear a wrap/light one-piece; if it is other seasons and the weather is a bit cold, you can choose a one-piece/split suit of different thicknesses.
PS: According to the different changes of the weather, different coats/vests can be matched. For example, in winter, you can wear a vest even indoors.
Don't have too many baby clothes. Buying three or five pieces of this kind of clothes is enough.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, newborn babies develop very fast, and they may not be able to wear clothes in a month or two, because parents are advised not to buy too many clothes for their babies. Especially one-pieces, don't hoard them. If the baby is a little longer, the original suitable one-piece will not be able to be worn.
When my son is 100 days old, a mother and baby shop in front of the house is holding activities. Buy one get one free one-piece suit, which is very suitable. So I stocked up a few more pieces. Who would have guessed that the jumpsuit would become too small in less than two months, so I could only pack it up and give it away.
Therefore, when a mother buys a one-piece for her baby, she buys too much for one gender, and three or five pieces are enough.
In addition to clothes, newborn babies have many needs, such as quilts, sleeping bags and bibs.
1. The quilt (1-2): The quilt can not only wrap the baby, but also can be used as a quilt cover. For low-month-old babies, they can also be wrapped to simulate the uterine environment, allowing them to eat well and sleep well.
2. Sleeping bags (1-2): The baby always likes to push on the quilt, making the mother hard to guard against. At this time, you can prepare a few sleeping bags for them, put the baby in the sleeping bag, it is loose, comfortable and warm, and there is no need to worry about the baby getting cold on the quilt.
3. Socks (2-3 pairs): Socks should be bought. After all, when the baby goes out, he can't be barefoot all the time. It is recommended to buy loose-fitting terry socks so that they don't strangle their calves.
4. Hats (1-2): Like children's socks, hats are also in demand, which can be used in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
5. Bibs (5-6): three months ago, the baby likes to spit up milk, and the spit milk can easily flow to the neck. If there is a bib to cover, it can easily avoid the neck from being submerged; after four or five months, the baby Start drooling, also need bib cover and protection.
