How to buy clothes for your baby, this topic should start from the baby's unique physical characteristics.
The baby's skin is delicate, the immunity of the body is poor, the body temperature regulation function is not perfect, and the metabolism is strong. In addition, the baby's self-cooperation when putting on and taking off clothes within one year old is not strong, and he can't speak. If the clothes are uncomfortable, do not It will be expressed to parents that the cooperation degree of the baby after one year old has improved, but they can walk, are often more lively, and sweat more easily.
Therefore, when parents choose clothes for their babies, it varies from person to person, and makes scientific choices according to the situation.
How to choose clothes for your baby scientifically, you should grasp the following principles:
1. The choice of texture: Due to the delicate skin of the baby, when parents buy clothes for the baby, the texture must follow the principle of "natural materials, avoid chemical fiber materials", especially the underwear that directly contacts the baby's skin. Natural materials include pure cotton, wool, silk, etc.
Because these natural materials are superior in terms of warmth retention, breathability, water absorption and softness, and are not easy to cause skin allergies in babies, while clothing made of chemical fiber materials is more irritating and easy to cause baby allergies, especially those with allergic systems. For babies, parents should choose clothes made of natural materials for them.
However, for the baby's coat, you can choose clothes containing chemical fiber components. After all, the clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics have the advantages of easy cleaning and wear resistance. The identification method of whether the baby's clothes are cotton fabrics: burning method. Operation method: Draw a strand of yarn (should include warp and weft) at the seam of baby clothes, ignite it with fire, observe the state of the burning flame, cotton burns faster, the flame is high, it can spread automatically, stay Lay down a small amount of soft white or grey ashes, not charred.
2. Color selection: Parents always like to dress up their babies beautifully, and like to buy brightly colored clothes for their babies. In fact, the color of baby clothes is best to choose light colors, avoid bright colors.
As we all know, brightly colored fabrics often contain a lot of chemical dyes, dyeing auxiliaries, lead and formaldehyde and other harmful chemical residues. The baby's tender skin cannot stand the stimulation of these chemicals. Therefore, in the choice of color, parents should choose light colors, especially underwear and T-shirts and other clothing that directly contact the skin. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to the fact that the fabrics of some clothes are too whitish. In fact, fluorescent agents are added to the clothes. The fluorescent agents contain toxic substances, which are very harmful to the baby.
In short, it is generally best not to buy clothes that are too white and too bright.
3. The choice of size: In daily life, some parents think that the baby grows fast, and the clothes cannot be worn after one season, which is too wasteful, so there is often a lot of "development space" for the baby's clothes. In fact, the warmth retention effect of such clothes is not ideal, therefore, the baby's clothes should be moderate in size and tightness. The baby's clothes are too tight, it is easy to bind the baby, hinder their breathing, and make them feel comfortable, but too loose, not close to the flesh, is not conducive to keeping warm, especially in winter clothes, you should pay more attention to keeping warm.
In addition, the size of the collar (circumference) of the baby's pullover should be greater than 52 cm; there should be no rope at the neckline and hat edge, and the exposed length of the rope on the finished product should not exceed 14 cm, so as not to wrap around the baby's neck, etc. , a danger occurs. In addition, if there are other people's baby's old clothes, 0-3 months baby, underwear can wear old clothes. Parents, don't have psychological barriers, this is not to save money, the key is that the baby's skin is tender, and it is more comfortable to wear old clothes.
If you really mind, you can add disinfectant to wash it repeatedly and expose it to sterilization before putting it on the baby.
4. Selection of styles: The styles of baby clothes should be correctly selected according to the characteristics of their different physical stages. The clothes for babies aged 0-1 are best to choose "monk clothes" without collars and slanted fronts, and preferably longer in the front and shorter in the back. One is to avoid urination and defecation pollution, and the other is to keep the abdomen warm. In addition, it is also very convenient for babies within one year to choose one-piece suits.
When choosing clothes for babies aged 1 to 3 years, they should choose clothes with buckles at the collar, so that it is easier to put on and take off the baby. Also, don't choose zippered trousers for babies. Before, it was exposed on the Internet that the mother accidentally injured her son's little JJ. Therefore, parents should be cautious when buying trousers for baby boys.
5, the choice of workmanship: baby clothes, workmanship is also very particular. When choosing clothes, we should resist those shoddy clothes. We should choose clothes with few burrs, few threads, careful stitching and exquisite workmanship.

Clothes, the baby is comfortable to wear, and the parents look at ease.
Also, pay attention to the labels of the clothes, and when purchasing, choose those clothes that have the labels sewn on the outside of the clothes. Don't choose these two kinds of T-shirts for your baby in summer: one is clothes with large prints or coatings on the front or back of the T-shirt, such T-shirts are not breathable, and the other is thick inside the T-shirt. There are many hard sewing threads or knots, and such T-shirts can easily scratch the baby.
6. Fashion choices: Many parents always want to dress up their babies beautifully, and bring them out to look good on their faces, so they choose fashionable and beautiful clothes for their babies, such as small appliques, sequins, and beads. , metal accessories, decorative buckles and other accessories, or jeans, trousers and other trousers, in fact, some accessories have many hidden dangers, parents check the firmness of these accessories when purchasing to prevent them from falling off and being accidentally swallowed by the baby; Tight jeans and tunics can also affect the development of your baby's reproductive system. Therefore, the baby's clothing should not pursue fashion, but should be simple and generous.
7. The "secret" on the label: According to the national standard, a piece of children's clothing should have the following identification content: ① The product has a trademark, and has a Chinese factory name and factory address.
② There are sizes and specifications on the product. The size is mainly marked with the child's height and tight bust. For example, if the child's height is 145cm, and the tight bust is 68cm, the size should be marked as 145/68.
③ The fiber content of fabrics (including linings and fillers) is marked on the product, and the percentages of various fiber content are clear and accurate.
④ There are washing instructions or washing signs and instructions indicated by graphic symbols on the product.
⑤ There is a certificate of conformity on the product, and indicates the product quality level, the standard code of the product implementation, etc. When parents buy children's clothing, they can check whether the above-mentioned content that should be marked is complete, and if the markings are complete, resolutely resist those children's clothing without labels and incomplete labels.
At the same time, parents should also pay attention to whether the label states "Do not dry clean". Since dry cleaners may contain substances that can irritate the skin of infants and young children, clothing for infants and young children must be marked "Do not dry clean". Also, when parents buy clothing for infants and young children under 36 months, they should also check whether there are words such as "Class A" and "Infant and young children's clothing" on the label. to harm. Because according to the "National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products" (GB18401-2010), the formaldehyde content, PH value, color fastness and other indicators of infant clothing at this stage are stricter than other textiles of the same level.
8. Brand selection: Generally speaking, big brand clothes are better than non-brand clothes, because they are more strict in the selection of fabrics, the fineness of workmanship, and the severity of inspection. Therefore, expensive is only expensive. However, this must be in line with the economic conditions of each family, otherwise blindly pursuing brands will easily make the baby form a bad mentality of luxury and comparison.
