For new parents, they all hope to give their babies the best clothes and make them the happiest children in the world. After ten months of pregnancy, it was finally time to give birth, and I spent all my heart and soul to choose the first piece of clothing for my baby.

When most people buy clothes, they have more or less the following thoughts: the more expensive the clothes, the better; the size recommended by the salesperson must be suitable for my baby; wow, a onesie with feet attached It must be very practical, and it saves you the trouble of buying shoes; this plush dress is so beautiful, my baby will look great in it; the drill sweatshirt is very practical, and there is no need to button the baby; children grow up too fast, Buy clothes a few sizes up… We often spend a lot of energy choosing clothes, only to find in the end that they are not suitable at all, and sometimes the baby is even hurt because of the clothes. So what should we pay attention to when choosing clothes?

1. Material of clothes

Clothing materials are roughly divided into three categories

1) Natural fiber fabrics, including cotton, linen, wool, silk, As well as bamboo fiber, soy fiber, etc.

2) Chemical fiber fabrics include spandex, acrylic, polyester, etc.

3) Blended fabrics (natural fiber + chemical fiber)

Common materials and advantages and disadvantages of baby clothes

Most of baby clothes are pure Cotton (the state stipulates that clothing fabrics containing more than 95% cotton are pure cotton).

Advantages: good hygroscopicity and breathability, comfortable to wear, strong warmth retention, soft hand feel, and is a good product for personal clothing.

Disadvantages: poor moisture drainage, easy to shrink, easy to wrinkle, easy to pill, easy to stick to hair.

Sometimes some clothes will be marked: polyester + pure cotton, which is a blended fabric called polyester-cotton. Polyester-cotton fabric is currently a very common fabric and is cheaper than pure cotton.

Advantages: low shrinkage, tall and straight, not easy to wrinkle, easy to wash, and quick-drying.

Disadvantages: It is easy to get lint and ball in the friction place. Polyester cotton has a strong affinity for oil stains and easily absorbs oil stains and generates static electricity.

Polyester: Commonly known as Qianliang, it belongs to polyester fiber.

Advantages: excellent elasticity and recovery, no wrinkles, good shape retention, high strength, good elasticity, durable Durable and lightfast.

Disadvantages: prone to static electricity, poor dust and moisture absorption.

So when buying baby clothes, you should pay attention to the material of the clothes to avoid damaging the baby’s tender skin.

2. Clothes style

There are many styles of baby clothes, such as long-sleeved, short-sleeved, split, one-piece, and one-piece with feet included.

For infants and young children, it is recommended to buy onesies, which can prevent the baby from catching a cold. When a baby can raise its head, it is often held upright to facilitate the baby to see things around it. One-piece clothes can effectively prevent the clothes from moving to the baby’s upper body and causing the baby’s back and belly to get cold, which may cause illness. When the baby can crawl, the onesie will not easily cause the baby to fall. The most important point – the onesie is easy to put on and take off when adults change the baby’s diaper.

The buttons of jumpsuits often have the following types: center buttons, side buttons, back buttons, and tie buttons. Belts, concealed buckles, buttons, etc.

It is generally best to choose the side-opening concealed button type. There are thin and thick concealed buckles. In order not to knock the baby and hurt the baby’s skin, it is best to choose a thin concealed buckle. If you choose clothes with ties for your baby, it will take some time to tie them, and sometimes the caregiver will tie the straps wrongly, leaving a big gap in the clothes, which can easily make the baby catch a cold. If the clothes are buttoned, the button openings will become larger after being worn for a period of time, often causing the baby’s clothes to fall open, especially on the legs.

3. Newborn clothes are not always accurate in the size mentioned by the shopping guide. Generally, they need to be Prepare clothes in 3 different sizes.

Since the doctor can only estimate the baby’s weight based on the B-ultrasound results, the actual weight of the baby will vary greatly. deviation.

I remember that because the baby was born in a hot weather, the doctor told me before delivery that the baby weighed about 6 pounds and 6 taels, so I went to buy it for the baby. For clothes, the shopping guide recommends long-sleeved sizes 52 and 59.This is a one-piece garment. The baby weighs less than 6 pounds after birth and cannot fit into size 52 clothes. The clothes and pants are too big and long. The baby has to pull the clothes from time to time after wearing them and picking them up. Although the air conditioner was turned on at home, my baby was very afraid of heat and developed eczema after wearing long sleeves for a few days. The community doctor gave me some advice and decisively purchased a size 50 one-piece short-sleeved suit.

Because doctors can only make preliminary assessments based on B-ultrasound results when assessing a child’s weight, the actual deviation is large. Although most babies are 50 centimeters when they are born, the effect of the baby’s absorption of nutrients in the mother’s body is different. Some babies will be heavier and fatter if they absorb them better, and they will need to wear a larger size; some babies will have better absorption effects. If you are not very good, you will be lighter and thinner, so you need to wear a small size for clothes. Unlike an adult’s clothes, baby’s clothes are divided into large and small sizes. Baby’s clothes are arranged according to height. Pay attention to the distinction when purchasing. .

4. Beautiful furry clothes are not the best choice

Every parent who has a baby girl hopes that the baby will be beautiful. When they see good-looking and beautiful clothes, they want to wear them on their baby. On the body, the first thing that bears the brunt is furry clothes. They feel cute when worn, but they are not the least bit harmful to the baby.

I remember that the baby lived his first winter in his life when he was less than 5 months old. Those things looked so cute at that time I couldn’t resist the cute furry clothes and couldn’t put them down. I bought several pieces for my baby and couldn’t wait to put them on my baby. But happiness comes at a price. Suddenly one day I found that my baby was full of tears. When I was feeding, I accidentally saw a long thread on the baby’s eyeball. I was so scared that I rushed to the pediatric emergency room. The doctor was not able to judge at that time. What is it? It just asked me to go home and wash the baby’s eyes with cold water to see if it can be washed out. But babies are just like adults. When they see something approaching their eyes, they will involuntarily close their eyes. After several attempts without success, they called a friend who is studying medicine for help. The friend said: “Then there is nothing we can do. Go.” Checking her vision has no effect for the time being. There should be no big problem. Just wait and see if the gum in her eyes can be stuck out.” I spent the next few days in fear, praying over and over in my heart that the baby was safe. I was very happy. What’s more, a few days later, when I was cleaning the baby’s eye mucus again, the long thing finally stuck out. If you look closely, it is the fibers on the clothes. From now on, I will never choose furry clothes for my baby, whether they have fur inside or outside.

After checking the relevant information, I also noticed that these fibrous materials not only easily enter the eyes, but also easily enter the nose and affect the baby’s nasal mucosa. Put it in the baby’s mouth and let the baby eat it by mistake. Therefore, it is best not to choose fluffy clothes when choosing clothes. There is still a lot of time to dress up the baby beautifully and cutely. There is enough time for us to toss during the entire childhood.

5. The belts and threads on the clothes should be cleaned for the baby to avoid Wrapping around babies can cause danger

Reports of accidents involving babies caused by ropes and threads on clothes can be seen everywhere. Regarding ropes on clothes, It can add some beauty to clothes, especially sweaters, but sometimes this rope can become the baby’s lifeline.

I remember that when my baby was about 10 months old, he especially liked to wrap anything that could be wrapped around his neck, including Mobile phone cables, headphone cables, belts, etc., when they are wrapped around too many times, I don’t know how to untie them, so I will use my little hands to pull the two ends hard, causing them to get tighter and tighter. During that time, as long as the baby can see In this place, I have to hide all the threaded items for fear that the baby will get hurt if I don’t pay attention.

Needless to say more about the thread. There was a news report that a baby did not get it in time because a hair was wrapped around his foot. When I noticed something was wrong with my toes, the doctor said that the blood vessels around the toes were necrotic and the only option was to amputate them. Just because of one oversight, the baby had to become disabled.

In addition, don’t choose one-piece clothes that wrap your feet, even though they appear to wrap your feet. The clothes can keep the baby’s feet and calves warmer, but the foot-covering clothes are designed to be very wide and cannot fix the baby’s feet well. When the baby is held, the baby’s feet often go to the trouser legs and bend up. , unable to move freely and easily injured. I once thought about using a rope to fix the baby’s feet, but if it was loose, the baby’s feet would still run away. If it was tight, it would easily affect the baby’s blood circulation.

It is best not to choose brightly colored clothes for your baby. Those clothes are printed and dyed more frequently and contain harmful ingredients. Accordingly, in order to reduce baby’s skin diseases, it is best to choose solid-colored clothes. Every baby is born cute. Even if the clothes are not beautiful, it will reduce the baby’s cuteness too much. “A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.” Clothes are important, but the baby’s health is more important. Choose the right clothes and don’t pursue the beauty of the appearance and ignore the inner needs.

If the number is too high, the harmful ingredients will also increase accordingly. In order to reduce the baby’s skin diseases, it is best to choose solid-colored clothes. Every baby is born cute. Even if the clothes are not beautiful, it will reduce the baby’s cuteness too much. “A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.” Clothes are important, but the baby’s health is more important.
