FAQ - Comfort, practicality, safety, seasons and sizes
Choosing your baby's first outfits can be an exciting time, but it's important to consider several criteria to ensure that your newborn is comfortable, safe and warm.
1. Comfort and softness
Soft fabrics:
Opt for cotton or natural fabrics, which are gentle on babies' sensitive skin. Avoid synthetic materials that can irritate the skin.
No irritating labels:
Check garments for labels or seams that could irritate the skin.
2. Ease of dressing and changing
Convenient openings:
Choose garments with snaps or zippers, especially at the front or crotch, for easy dressing and diaper changes.
Two-piece sets:
Sets with separate tops and bottoms can be more practical for diaper changes.
3. Safety
No small parts:
Make sure garments don't contain small buttons, beads or other decorative elements that could come off and pose a choking hazard.
No cords:
Avoid clothes with cords or ribbons, which could wrap around the baby's neck.
4. Appropriate size
Birth or 1 month:
“Birth” or “1 month” size garments are often the most suitable for the first few days. However, it's wise not to buy too many clothes in this size, as babies grow fast.
Size up:
Buy a few outfits in larger sizes (3 months, 6 months) to be ready as the baby grows.
5. Practicality and ease of washing
Easy to wash:
Choose clothes that can be easily machine washed and dried.
Resistance:
Clothes should be able to withstand frequent washing without warping or losing their softness.
6. Adaptation to the season
Warm clothes for winter:
If your baby is born in winter, make sure you have warm clothes, such as overalls, hats and booties.
Light clothing for summer:
For summer babies, opt for lightweight bodysuits and breathable clothing.
7. Newborn Wardrobe Essentials
Bodysuits:
Provide several short- and long-sleeved bodysuits.
Pyjamas:
Pyjamas with built-in feet are practical and comfortable for sleeping.
Sleepsuits:
These are easy to put on and provide complete coverage.
Socks and booties:
Keep baby's feet warm.
Bonnets:
Essential for keeping your baby's head warm, especially when leaving the maternity ward.
