Young mothers often buy baby clothes in large quantities, without even thinking about whether they really need. Will the baby be comfortable in it, does it pass air well and how comfortable is it to put on and take off? Let's look at the most common mistakes of young parents when buying children's things.
A lot of clothes
The child always wants to dress as warm as possible - especially in winter, when it is cold outside. Meanwhile, overheating for children can be much more dangerous than hypothermia. Children's heat transfer is different from an adult, therefore, in winter, when dressing babies, you should be guided by a simple rule: dress the child as yourself - plus an additional layer of clothing. To make sure that the baby is not cold, touch his forehead, neck and chest - they must be warm.
In no case should overheating be allowed, it can lead to fatal consequences.
Unwashable new clothes
Before putting on new clothes on the baby - it must be washed. Unfortunately, many parents neglect this rule, but in vain. Clothing in warehouses and shelves is dusty and exposed to chemicals used to clean the room. An irritation or an allergic reaction can appear on the skin of a child, so you need to wash every new thing. And clothes after washing become softer and more pleasant to the touch.
Synthetic clothing
Synthetic things can be very beautiful, but they do not let air and moisture in, and it is not recommended to wear them for adults or children. If a child sweats in such clothes, then even the slightest breeze can lead him to a cold.
Small details on clothes
Badly sewn buttons, peeling off beads and sequins - all this can easily end up in the child's mouth. Before you put on new baby clothes, you must carefully check their strength, and at the slightest doubt to open or peel off small parts yourself. Or choose another model in the store.
Tall or narrow collar
Clothes with a high collar are difficult to put on and take off with one hand, and we usually support the child with the second. A too narrow and tight collar can lead to suffocation in a dream. Do not wear scarves, ties and clothes with a high and tight collar!
Lack of headgear
Newborns lose more than half of their body heat precisely through their bare heads.Even if the room is warm, you should wear a hat or cap on the child. And even more so it should be done with a draft or if the room is cool. Headgear is necessary at least until the child is two or three months old, especially for premature babies.
Uncut Labels
Tags and labels on clothes can rub the baby’s delicate skin. It will be better if you cut them immediately after purchase, before washing.
Out-of-size clothing
If the child’s clothes are small or large - it is better not to wear them. Even if you really like this thing. Oversized clothes can cover the baby’s face in a dream, and too small clothes can rub the skin and squeeze the blood vessels.
Shoes for babies
Children's shoes look very beautiful, but it’s worth buying only after baby started to walk. Up to this point, it is better to do with booties or just socks, so as not to fix the child's leg in a stationary state.
Inconvenient clothes
The main rule when buying clothes for babies is that the simpler the better. A lot of unnecessary details and seams can cause inconvenience to the baby. Fashionable clothes are good, but everything has its time.
If you really liked a thing in the store, try not to buy it right away, but put it off for several hours or until the next day. If during the break you change your mind about buying it, then it’s not worth it. If you have the slightest doubt when buying that a new thing will be convenient - do not buy. From time to time, many mothers conduct polls to find out which brands of clothes are more comfortable for babies, and then they are bought. This method is very good and convenient when choosing clothes for young children.
