With the advent of subzero temperatures, mothers are increasingly concerned about how to dress the baby warmly and comfortably. Next comes the question of what to wear most.
It is not uncommon for mothers to want to wrap their babies in several blankets, fasten all the buttons and hide under a raincoat. Remember what your baby really needs right now? Mom’s warm hands and milk! And it turns out that this is feasible even in the cold season.
Choose clothes for a baby from 3 months
An active and curious baby will need a jumpsuit with legs. So it will be more comfortable for him to be upright. You can teach your baby to sit on your hip. This will help protect the child from underdevelopment of the hip joints and prepare the muscles for walking. The envelope jumpsuit loses a lot because it prevents the baby from moving freely.
There are several types of overalls, and some have their advantages.
1 piece jumpsuit consists of stitched jackets and panties. Important advantages include non-blowing and easy handling. But keep in mind that in six months such a jumpsuit will not be the size of the baby. It is not recommended to take such a model for growth, otherwise all the advantages will not be relevant. It is possible that the baby will have time to outgrow the suit with a margin.
Models consisting of separate semi-overalls and jackets. Panties straps are adjustable, which means they can last more than one season.
To prevent the baby from blowing under the jacket, it is best to put on panties over it. Then if you carry the baby in a sling or in your arms, the jacket will not lift. Such wearing will allow the child to move freely and provide comfort.
Surely you saw the kits from a jacket and panties without breast. This option is not very good for small children, because it is the most purged. In this case, only extra pants with a breast and straps will be saved.
Clothing Material
When it comes to clothes for babies, you always need to pay due attention to the fabric. Non-soaking materials are best suited for children's outerwear. It is also important that it does not slip, otherwise there is a chance to drop the baby. Agree, it’s hard to keep a child constantly slipping out.
So that the baby does not sweat, think in advance about the lining. It should not be from artificial fur. The most suitable materials are calico, knitwear and flannel and fleece of good quality.
Feel free to buy suits at the synthetic winterizer. A down jacket is suitable at temperatures from -15 ° C and below. If you use a sling for walking, then do not forget that you warm your child with your own heat. And as you know, infants are not recommended to walk already at 12-15 ° C, because the nasal passages still cannot warm the cold air while breathing.In addition, fluff is undesirable because it has a smell that is enhanced by dampness. By choosing a different filler, you can avoid the bad mood of the baby.
The sheepskin coat or fur coat is very bulky and will not allow the baby to move freely. Due to the features of the cut in a fur coat, the baby will be blown up. Please note that the fur is very slippery.
Footwear
Small growing legs need no serious shoes. They will give you and the baby inconvenience both in the sling and in the arms - the sole will cling and the child will appear heavier. Just twist and carefully sew the holes for the legs, if the suit is with a margin. If the jumpsuit is right in size, buy or sew warm booties for your baby. The kid still does not move very much, so in addition to booties, be sure to wear woolen socks. You may prefer felt boots. They should not be too big and comfortable.
Depending on the size of the overalls, you can either sew up the sleeves or acquire mittens. Children from year to year will need gloves in the fall and spring.
Newborn babies
If the baby was born at the end of winter, do not rush to buy overalls. At first, babies walking in the winter months are not advisable. Then you can swaddle the baby in a baby wool blanket and wear it in a sling without any problems. Also for a walk, a downy shawl with a tight knit is suitable. Such a scarf is softer and lighter than a blanket.
A special jumpsuit with two zippers is well suited for a newborn, but you can do without it at first and look at the jumpsuit by 3-4 months.
