Babies' Clothing

Of course, the best clothes for very little infants should be made of natural materials. But there are modern synthetic materials that are suitable for young toddlers. It is, for example, fleece. Newborn dress should not hamper the movements. The baby moves, if he did not sleep all the time, and it has great importance for the development of muscles, bones and nervous system. Therefore, any clothing restricts his movements and brings him harm. A child should be wrapped up so that his body had been closed, but breathing and limb movements were free. Clothing should be free to allow air and evaporations.

You must remember that the skin of a newborn is very soft, so the underwear should be made of soft, thin fabric. If you can sew a little bit, try to make cheap baby clothing. Old, dilapidated, thinned bedding: duvet cover or bed sheet is perfect for this. Wash and iron well this linen. You may sew bodysuits and diapers for toddlers from such a delicate material (the seams should be made out that they would not rub the skin). Material from old duvet cover and a sheet is not strong, but the newborn is growing very rapidly, so that the remaining resources are just enough.

You need 8 blouses, 6 jackets, 20 and 10 of thin flannel diapers, 2 cap or 2 scarves, 2-3 sheets, warm soft blanket, a large oil-cloth to cover the mattress, the two oil-cloth 30x30 cm to have always clean dress for the infant (if you wash them every day). You need also jersey or flannelette sweaters, the child in the first months of life grows quickly, so you have to sew bodysuits of different sizes.

Specialists do not recommend sewing buttons by blouses. Soft ribbon is better. Sleeves must be longer, you can even sew tightly them, so the kid could not scratch his face. Make a big diaper, they are more convenient. When an infant starts to crawl and stand on his feet, his suit also should not hamper the movements. Pants in the winter should be up to the ankles. When toddlers begin to walk, you must choose closely the tights, socks and shoes. Cramped, poorly stitched shoes cripple the toddler's feet and make him to walk improperly. You need to have in stock 2-3 pairs of shoes, since they often must be dried. Sleeping bags (envelopes), quilted padded and covered with bikes, flannel or other warm cloth for cold weather are very comfortable for children during the first years of life.
