In this article we guide you about baby clothing guide. When buying clothes for a newborn baby, practicality is the main consideration. For babies aged 0-1, safety and comfort are of course the most important. In addition to these two points, you should also pay attention to choosing clothes that are easy to put on and take off and change diapers. After all, parents are very busy in the first few months, and choosing the right baby clothes can greatly reduce the difficulty of taking care of the baby.
First, choose the size of clothes according to the baby’s age, weight, and height.
| size | Suitable age | Recommended height | Recommended weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 52 | 0-1 month | 45-52cm | 2.0-3.5kg |
| 59 | 1-3 months | 52-60cm | 3.5-6.9kg |
| 66 | 3-6 months | 60-68cm | 6.9-8.5kg |
| 73 | 6-9 months | 66-73cm | 7.2-9kg |
| 80 | 9-12 months | 72-80cm | 8.5-10kg |
Second, eliminate some styles that are not suitable for newborns.
- We bought a lot of clothes before the baby was born. It was so special and cute to see the little clothes placed in the baby’s closet one by one, waiting for the baby to be born. But after the baby was born, we found that many clothes were just good-looking but not comfortable to wear.
- Here is a list of newborn clothing styles that we feel are not very useful.
It is only not suitable in the first few months. As the baby grows older, these types of clothes will gradually become optional.
1. Split Clothing baby clothing guide
In the first few months, babies often move their hands and feet and their bellies often bulge.
Wearing two-piece clothes can easily expose the belly, which may cause the baby to catch a cold.
1. Foot wraps baby clothing guide
My baby was born in May. I thought he would definitely be cold in an air-conditioned room during the summer, so I bought him a few sets of this.
In fact, the baby only needs to wear a short-sleeved shirt in an air-conditioned room throughout the summer.
Unless you take your baby out in winter, you don’t need to prepare this kind of foot-covering clothes and its matching gloves, foot covers, and fetal caps.
Wearing them in hot weather can easily cause prickly heat, and in cold weather, you can turn on the air conditioner at home. If you really need to go out occasionally, a blanket and a bath towel are good for health.
3. Button type baby clothing guide
I suggest you try this when your baby is older. If the baby unbuttons the buttons, it is easy for the baby to swallow them and choke.
This kind of dressing and undressing is also not very convenient. Even if it is a buckle, I don’t want to use the clothes with one more button.
4. Zipper type baby clothing guide
I don’t need to post a picture for this.I suffered from not having given birth to a baby before, so I bought three zippered ones on the recommendation of a lady from a maternity and baby store.In fact, the zipper is small and hard, not only is it difficult to pull, but it is also easy to pinch the baby’s flesh when the baby moves.
Third, the requirements that newborn clothes need to meet.
- Light colored fabric, no hard block pattern, no fluorescent agent.
- Pure cotton\bamboo cotton, no allergens.
- Boneless stitching, loose and breathable, does not affect baby’s activities.
- There are no buttons on the load-bearing area and the label is on the outside of the garment.
Generally speaking, there shouldn’t be any problem with larger brands.
Fourth, suitable style recommendations.
Wrapped clothes
This is the most popular style for my baby.
It covers the baby’s belly and prevents the baby from getting cold.
It has long sleeves and short sleeves, and can be worn in spring and autumn. It is more breathable and the baby is not prone to sweating.
When changing the diaper, you only need to open the buttocks, and it can be done easily.
Half back shirt
This style should be used in combination with a swaddle gauze scarf, and is most suitable for newborn babies.
Newborn babies poop a lot, especially when they are breastfeeding. It is normal to poop while eating, and it is normal to poop seven or eight times a day.
At this time, in order to make it easier to change diapers, this half-back dress can play its advantages, and it is even more convenient than monk clothes, butterfly clothes and the like. There is no need to lift the clothes up, just take off the swaddle gauze scarf and the like to expose the butt directly.
It should be noted that you should remember to cover your baby with a quilt or gauze scarf. Although babies in the confinement period don’t kick the quilt much, you still have to cover it more securely.
This kind of clothes is basically only worn during the confinement period, and it dries very quickly after washing. Buying 3 pieces is enough for replacement.
Bodysuit
Babies wear this kind of clothes more often in autumn and winter, and it is warmer.
Generally, there are two types: laces and buckles. The buckle type can be worn with one hand, while ordinary people can only wear it with both hands. Both are very convenient.
However, the buckle will be uncomfortable when the baby lies on his stomach. Later, I found that there is a combination style, with laces on the upper body and buckles on the lower body. Perfect!
Fifth, stockpiling suggestions.
- Generally, you don’t need to buy too many clothes before your baby is born.
Sixth, are there any clothes that you would particularly recommend after wearing them?
Phantom Dawn
- After using this “Small Easy Tear”, changing diapers is really a piece of cake!
- There are no buttons on the crotch, so you no longer have to button those annoying buttons after returning the diaper.
- Every time you put on or take off the diaper or change it, just gently pull it open and stick the small tear-off sticker on.
- The bonding part is even more black technology, it is soft and still sticks well even after washing many times.
- The key is that there is no sound at all, and the baby will not be scared when he falls asleep.
- The fabric of the clothes is also very soft, made of organic cotton from Xinjiang.
- When the baby is young, the side can be opened easily.
- When the baby is older, he can wear this kind of pullover.
- When changing diapers, the baby is not obedient and always wants to turn over and move his hands and feet around. The buckles are very annoying to fasten. This one is very easy to use. You can even tear it open and stick it on with one hand. Even when lying down, the chest will not be pressed by the buckles.
- There is a promotion now where the second item is half price, which is still quite cost-effective.
Manxi
- Their jumpsuits are the ones I mentioned before, with laces on the upper body and buckles on the lower body, and there aren’t many buttons!
- I hate the kind with seven or eight buttons from belly to feet.
- This style is generally worn in autumn and winter.
- In the first few months of the baby’s life, you can wear it as a sleeping bag at night. The effect is quite good. It just protects the belly and is relatively loose for the hands and feet.
- It can be worn on both sides. Just take it off the hanger and put it on. You don’t have to check which side is which. It’s perfect for lazy people like me.
