Clothes for newborns from 0 to 3 months: list for the first time with photos

What should be in a first aid kit for a baby according to Komarovsky?

When a baby is sick, he needs immediate help. Therefore, the mother’s first aid kit should include medications and devices specifically for the newborn. Dr. Komarovsky recommends purchasing a minimum set of necessary things that are used for a specific purpose:

• Hygiene products. To carry out daily procedures, mother will need:
• sterile cotton wool;

scissors with blunt ends for cutting nails;

• wet wipes;
• Vaseline oil (helps remove crusts);
• baby diaper cream;
• diaper rash cream or ointment;
• baby powder.

It is also very important to always have a thermometer on hand to measure body temperature, as well as a special device for removing snot from the nose

First aid kit

The standard kit includes medications that a newborn will need from the first days.

• Hydrogen peroxide.
• Zelenka.
• Sterile cotton wool. Turundas are made from it for cleaning ears and nose, since cotton swabs will be too large at first.
• Sterile gauze.
• Streptocide. If necessary, it can be used to make an effective belly button powder.
• Medicinal herbs: chamomile, calendula, string
• Medicine dispenser. A useful new product that allows you to administer medicinal solutions and syrups to children without any risk of damaging their mouths. The Japanese product Pigeon (RUB 380) has a capacity of 5 ml, a soft spout and a stopper. Sterilization is carried out with steam or in the microwave.

For low birth weight babies

Sometimes the baby is premature or simply underweight. Every mother who has given birth to such a child should know some of the nuances of choosing clothes for underweight children.

The requirements for clothing for small newborns are especially high, since regular-sized items will be too large for them and will cause discomfort. Things for a baby born prematurely are made exclusively from natural fabrics and do not have seams or knots in the area where the part comes into contact with the baby’s head and body. Products worn over the head are absolutely excluded.

In online stores you can find a wide range of products specially designed for this occasion. When the child reaches the sizes typical for ordinary children, you can switch to products of classic sizes.

List of things for a baby in the first months of life

The child will need many things - from a crib and stroller to clothes. You also need a lot of wardrobe items, since the baby constantly spits up and needs to be changed often. The choice of clothing largely depends on the time of year, gender and body size of the child.

Cold season (autumn-winter)

A peculiarity of infants, especially in the first weeks of life, is the inability of their body to maintain normal body temperature (keep warm and cool). Therefore, the baby may freeze if he is not dressed warmly enough. In winter, he will need additional warm clothes:

• warm sweaters and overalls;
• outerwear for walking (overalls or sheepskin envelope, warm hats, mittens, booties);
• insulation in the stroller (envelope or blanket).

Warm season (spring-summer)

Babies born in the warm season do not need to be wrapped in several layers of clothing, their movements are not constrained by anything. In warm weather, mothers should stock up on the following set of clothes:

• slip-on bodysuits (comfortable clothing that resembles a jumpsuit that fastens between the legs);
• T-shirts and T-shirts;
• panties;
• light leggings and tights;
• socks (even in hot weather a newborn’s feet get cold);
• caps and caps;
• diapers.

Advice! But do not forget about the disadvantages of the summer season - heat and insects. To protect your baby from flies and mosquitoes, you will need to install mosquito nets on the windows of the apartment, and hang a transparent canopy over the crib.

How to choose a clothing size?

Choosing clothes for a baby can be difficult. This is due to the fact that different sizes are indicated on different things - Russian or European. Therefore, it is quite difficult to understand what is suitable for a child. The table shows the average parameters of children depending on height and weight and shows the corresponding size:

How to choose diapers?

The choice of diapers should be approached very responsibly. After all, these hygiene products will constantly be in contact with the baby’s skin. Important criteria to consider before purchasing:

Environmental friendliness of the product

It is important to make sure that the composition does not contain substances that cause a negative reaction or allergic manifestations.

Comfort. Disposable diapers should have a protective and absorbent layer, as well as reusable Velcro fasteners (preferably if they stretch). Corresponding Size

For each age, the guideline for choice is the child’s weight. The packaging often contains numbers that correspond to a certain weight.

When is it better to buy things for a newborn for the first months, first year of life: tips

• Let's start with the fact that in the first month of life, things for a newborn are divided into two categories: clothes and everything else. The “rest” includes a crib, stroller, first aid kit, bathtub and other household items that will serve the child for at least a year, or even two or three. Therefore, it is better to buy such things in advance, even before giving birth, carefully choosing according to many parameters, the main of which is environmental friendliness and safety.
• As for clothes, before giving birth you shouldn’t buy your entire wardrobe, which will be useful during the first months and first year of life. how a child will develop, in which season he will reach certain height and weight .
• Based on this, it would be wisest to purchase several things necessary for the first month of a baby’s life - literally one or two pieces at a time. In the first month, the baby will begin to gain weight and you will be able to determine how this process is going and when it will reach certain sizes. The same applies to the growth of the baby.
• Buy clothes for your child only from natural fabrics - even if they are more expensive, the most valuable thing is the absence of irritation, redness, rashes and other allergic reactions on sensitive children's skin. Synthetics cannot guarantee safety in this regard. According to the same criterion, you should pay attention to the fact that the seams on clothes are external and that things are spacious enough.

Things should be made from natural fabrics

• Do not buy children's clothing in markets from unfamiliar sellers; as a rule, they do not have quality certificates and other documents that could confirm their compliance with standards.
• Do not take bright, colorful things - they can irritate the baby’s already not yet fully formed eyesight - it is better to stick to plain things or those combined in the same color scheme, preferably soft, pastel beige, pink or blue. The same recommendations apply when choosing bedding for a crib.
• And the last piece of advice, don’t buy everything. Refrain from buying clothes that your baby will have to put on over his head - this is definitely inconvenient for such a baby. The same applies to the fasteners on the back - this is where the baby lies almost all the time, and his sensitive skin will be exposed to additional irritants. Do not buy clothes of the same size in large quantities - the baby simply will not have time to show off in them.
• But nipples , so you can understand what shape the product is and what material, silicone or latex, will suit your baby best.

What to buy home for discharge

We will also divide the things that will be needed in the first time - after discharge - into groups. In addition, set priorities: what needs to be bought for a newborn for the first time immediately after arriving home, and what can be delayed for now.

To the nursery

To organize your baby's sleeping place you will need:

1. A crib with high sides or a cradle without one side, which is installed close to the parents’ bed. The crib should have a hard mattress and soft sides.
2. The blanket is thin or warm, depending on the season.
3. Waterproof mattress pad or medical oilcloth.
4. A couple of sheets.
5. Special pillow for babies.

You will also need a changing table. It should not be considered an excess - without it, the mother will have to swaddle the baby, massage him and treat his skin, leaning over the parent's bed, and this will result in back pain.

You need a chest of drawers or a small cabinet for a newborn's things - the baby's clothes and diapers should not be stored in a common closet. And a night light with soft illumination, which does not prevent the baby from falling asleep, but allows parents to monitor the baby at night.

For bathing and hygiene

For hygiene and bathing of the child you should purchase:

• a bath, it is advisable to take a larger one so that it lasts you longer;
• a special slide for the bath is a useful thing, especially useful for mothers who have to bathe their baby alone;
• water thermometer;
• sponge made from natural materials;
• a special visor that protects the baby’s eyes from soap and water;
• large terry towels, models with a hood are more comfortable.

For food

You will need:

1. Bottles. If the baby is breastfed, one is enough - for water, expressed milk. Buy 2-3 pacifiers per shift. For artificial feeding you will need at least 2 bottles and more replacement nipples.
2. Brush for cleaning bottles.
3. Breast pump.
4. Bags for freezing breast milk if the mother plans to be away while breastfeeding.
5. A thermal bag and a sterilizer are useful things, but in principle you can do without them.

Cloth

There is no need to buy a lot of clothes for your baby at once; children grow quickly, and often do not even have time to wear everything that has been prepared by caring parents and relatives. Therefore, the necessary list of first things for a newborn in the summer should be compiled taking into account the season and weather - by autumn you will change your baby’s clothes, and by next May he will have already grown out of the purchased summer clothes both physically and mentally.

For the first time, the baby needs:

• several cotton or flannel vests;
• several cotton or flannel rompers;
• a pair of bodysuits with long or short sleeves;
• scratch mittens;
• slip;
• overalls;
• 2 blouses with sleeves with buttons;
• several socks;
• a pair of bonnets with ties.

Toys

There is also no need to buy toys in large quantities right away. In the first 1–2 months, a child’s vision is poorly developed, so it is still difficult for him to focus his gaze on objects.

For children 1–2 months old you need:

• rattles;
• bracket with hangers for the crib;
• mobiles on the crib.

Hang musical carousels and garlands of rattles at a distance of 30 cm from the crib.

What else

Your baby will also need:

• stroller for walking;
• sling;
• carrying bag (optional);
• baby seat (if necessary);
• diapers;
• absorbent diapers.

For skin care:

• peroxide, brilliant green;
• cotton wool;
• cotton pads;
• Vaseline oil;
• powder;
• potassium permanganate;
• dry chamomile or string herb;
• moisturizing baby cream;
• baby soap;
• aspirator to remove nasal mucus;
• thermometer: nipple thermometer or electronic version;
• pacifier;
• dill seeds in filter bags;
• small enema with a soft end;
• pipette;
• scissors with rounded ends;
• comb;
• hypoallergenic powder for washing baby's clothes.

What should you not buy?

There are some wardrobe items that you shouldn't spend money on. They are simply inconvenient in functional terms. Among them:

• booties. They can only be used for a beautiful photo shoot. There is no need for them in life, since the baby does not yet know how to walk;
• long sleeve bodysuit. Instead, buy a slip straight away. There are no panties in the bodysuit, which means you have to wear a romper over it, which increases the amount of fabric on top of the diaper;
• sliders on straps. The situation is the same as above: the arms will remain bare and the legs will be closed, so you will have to put on another blouse on top.

Discharge envelopes for newborns

When purchasing outerwear for a baby, namely an envelope, parents are faced with a huge selection of products. It is difficult to correctly select the right model from the variety of types that the market offers. Even if the future mother and father liked the envelope, this purchase may not always be justified. Only that model is suitable for the baby in which he will feel convenience and comfort.

If parents want to surprise family and guests or impress them, then the best option would be an elegant satin envelope decorated with lace. For practical parents, the best buy is a transformable envelope that easily turns into a baby blanket. The most decisive factor is the time of year when the day of discharge falls.

Winter envelopes for newborns

Warm “winter” models of discharge envelopes for newborns will protect the baby from frost and wind. You should choose such down jackets carefully, taking into account the age characteristics of its future owner. It means that:

• the top should be wool or plush;
• down, synthetic Alpolux filling or fur insulation - inside;
• the lining is made of wool or flannel;
• the materials used are natural, hypoallergenic;
• The envelope for the child is chosen to be spacious, with warm clothes for winter walks in mind.

On the modern market, customers are presented with a large assortment of beautiful envelopes, transformers and overalls, taking into account individual tastes and capabilities.

Interesting. Alpolux insulation is made from natural wool. It was developed in Austria and is designed for Russian thirty-degree frosts.

Summer envelopes for newborn discharge

Summer is a warm, sunny season. If the baby is discharged from the maternity hospital during the summer month, you need to choose clothes taking into account the newborn’s weak thermoregulation. The baby can overheat and cool down very quickly. Summer sets include not only the envelopes themselves, but also caps, bodysuits, and vests made from natural fabrics. In hot weather, you need to choose envelopes with lightweight insulation (holofiber or bamboo) and a cotton lining.

If on the day of discharge the thermometer rises above 28-30 degrees, the baby’s summer envelope can be replaced with a light fleece blanket or even an elegant diaper.

Summer outfits for newborns

List of clothes for a newborn in winter

Due to the lack of fat, the baby has practically no thermoregulation of its own. Its body temperature depends on the ambient temperature, but this does not mean that it is necessary to create greenhouse conditions for it. The optimal mode in the room is +22°C, while everyday clothes for the child are: a flannelette slip and a diaper. It wouldn’t hurt to wear socks or booties with not very tight elastic bands over the slip.

If it is frosty outside (up to -15°C), the baby is equipped as follows: a fleece suit is put on over a diaper and a thin sleepsuit, and the legs are insulated with woolen socks. A flannel cap and a warm cap are put on the head. The ensemble is completed with a jumpsuit or a warm fur-lined envelope with mittens (this is more comfortable than a blanket). At above-zero temperatures, the warm overalls are replaced with demi-season ones or the insulated suit is not worn under the winter overalls.

How much clothing do you need?

It is worth saying that these days, both pediatric doctors and modern mothers are of the opinion that swaddling interferes with the freedom of movement of the newborn, so you will need very few diapers: 10 thin and 6 flannel. They are needed to cover the changing table, provide air baths, and place them under the baby in the stroller.

The composition of your wardrobe depends on whether you will constantly wear diapers for your baby, or whether they will only be needed during walks. In the first case, preference is given to bodysuits and slips, and in the second - to vests and rompers (rompers have to be changed 2-3 times an hour, and vests - once a day).

When building your wardrobe, you should listen to the advice of experienced mothers: take 1 set of clothes in sizes 56-58, and let the rest of your clothes be size 62: this is a guarantee that the child will not outgrow them within a month.

• Knitted bodysuit with sleeves and anti-scratch pads (overalls and panties) – 2 pieces. The buttons on this garment should be on the front from the center of the neck to the groin.
• Flannelette slips – 2 pieces. They compare favorably with regular onesies with sleeves in that they can be easily unbuttoned and save time when changing your baby. Their buttons are located in the middle and diverge towards the legs. Slips are an excellent replacement for vests and rompers; they are much more practical.
• Fleece slips (preferably with a hood) – 2 pieces.
• Thin vests – 3 pieces. They are bought for dressing complete with panties. Swing blouses must have external seams and anti-scratch handles (sewn or fastened)
• Flannelette vests (or blouses) – 3 pieces.
• Romper with a heel - 10 pieces (if the child is constantly in diapers, then three pieces will be enough). If they do not have time to dry after washing, the quantity will have to be increased. Romper goes well with bodysuits.

It is better that the rompers are in the form of overalls and are fastened on hangers. The elastic band is harmful for the baby: it rubs the navel and puts pressure on the tummy. In addition, the child actively moves his arms and legs, which is why the undershirts are knocked out of the pants, exposing the back.

• Thin cotton cap – 2 pcs. In the first weeks, it is placed on the baby’s head after bathing.
• Flannelette cap – 1 pc. It is tucked under a cap to prevent irritation.
• Thin socks - 3 pairs.
• Woolen socks – 2 pairs.
• Warm envelope or overalls. You can find various options on sale. Russian-made Chepe envelopes are made of cotton filled with goose down or holofiber. For cold winters there are Chepe fur models. Many mothers are delighted with the Kerry winter envelope - it has a slot for a car seat. For particularly cold climates, it is worth purchasing a Womar envelope with natural sheepskin filling. The design of the model allows it to be extended and used for 2 - 3 winter seasons.

There are transforming envelopes in which the lower part is transformed into panties. Good universal models for autumn-winter, with a fastened insulated lining.

Winter clothes for a newborn should be comfortable and easy to put on, so that the child does not sweat before he gets outside. There should be no T-shirts or sweaters worn over the head. Of all the fastenings, buttons are the best: buttons are inconvenient to fasten, zippers can accidentally pinch delicate skin, and ties can get into the mouth.

Which fabrics and materials are safe?

When purchasing any children's clothing, you need to pay attention to the composition of the product indicated on the tag or label. Materials with a scary name are not always dangerous to health; perhaps they are an absolutely safe synthetic material or a variety of natural ones. You also need to remember that high-quality clothing for newborns should not have external seams.

Here is a list of materials from which clothes for little ones can be made.

I need to say a few words about imported clothing for newborns. Of course, today there is a choice of domestic manufacturers who responsibly approach the production of high-quality items. But still, sometimes parents prefer products brought from abroad.

Things from the USA and from Europe can be different in price and quality. You should not buy branded clothing, remaining confident that the foreign country of origin is the guarantor of quality. It is always worth checking the composition and external condition of the product.

Premium-class clothing from Italy is famous for its excellent high-quality materials, exclusive fabric finishing, and high level of production. But such products often come at a high price. Italy is one of the centers of fashion, because of this, designer clothes from there sometimes have a large markup. But you can also find affordable options that will delight you for a long time.

French and Polish clothing are more affordable than Italian clothing and usually also have high standards of clothing production. Clothes for newborns from Poland are not subject to high markups due to inexpensive delivery. Branded items made abroad are at high risk of counterfeiting; you must carefully check the places where you purchase the goods.

Hats and socks.

If the air temperature is above 18 degrees, then a hat is not needed at all.

That is, we don’t dress newborns in bonnets indoors! If in doubt, put such a cap on yourself and try to walk around the clock in it. I doubt you won't want to take it off.

If it is less than 18 Celsius outside, then choose a hat, just like yourself, in accordance with the weather conditions. Cotton in spring and knitted in winter.

Socks will also be required to accompany the overalls, and not as an independent permanent item of clothing.

That is, we also don’t need socks indoors.

How many hats and socks do you need? 2-3 pieces of different heat.

So little because they practically do not get dirty and do not need regular washing.

What does a baby need in a maternity hospital?

A local obstetrician or a doctor in a paid clinic usually helps each pregnant woman with packing for the maternity hospital. This help is contained in a special list. Each maternity hospital has its own requirements, but still many points remain unchanged.

Namely, what to take with you to the maternity hospital for your baby

:

• diapers (according to the season) calico or warm - 5 pcs.
• hat - 2-3 pcs.
• socks - 2-3 pairs.
• mittens - 2 pairs.
• children's clothing at the discretion of the mother: bodysuits, little men, blouses, rompers.
• envelope for discharge.
• plaid.
• disposable diapers - 10-20 pcs.
• ointment for baby and mother (diaper rash and nipples), other skin care cosmetics at the discretion of the mother.
• liquid soap.
• diapers.
• means for treating the navel (check with your doctor).
• Digital Thermometer.

Do not forget that transparent bags are required in the maternity hospital; fabric and other bags are not welcome. Now it is possible to purchase both empty bags and ready-made ones (filled with everything you need). A woman’s choice is based on budget and other factors.

List of necessary things in the maternity hospital

The list of things needed in a maternity hospital is divided into 3 groups:

• prenatal,
• postpartum,
• for discharge.

For convenience, each group of things is placed in separate bags.

Important! Sanitary and epidemiological standards prohibit the use of fabric bags or leather bags in municipal maternity hospitals. Everything you need is put in bags

They take with them a volume of things that fits in the bedside table and does not clutter the surrounding space. Preference is given to disposable products: these are diapers, diapers, toothpaste and shampoo samples. They select clothes in advance for the accompanying person if a partner birth is planned: a disposable set of clothes, a mask, shoe covers.

First of all, prepare the necessary documents:

• passport or other identification document;
• exchange card, which is issued by the doctor at the antenatal clinic at 30 weeks;
• current certificate of incapacity for work (sick leave);
• compulsory medical insurance policy (if any);
• if concluded, then a contract for paid childbirth or an agreement for individual childbirth;
• all certificates and examination results collected during pregnancy;
• results of recent tests for hepatitis, HIV, RW, general urine test, clinical blood test, coagulogram;
• results of additional tests prescribed individually.

Documents are placed in a separate folder (preferably a plastic one with a button). Starting from the 34-35th week of pregnancy, the folder is carried with you constantly, even if there is no hint of labor beginning.

For Mom

They put things very compactly in a new strong bag, then quickly take out the necessary item.

For herself, the expectant mother prepares:

1. a comfortable robe made of natural materials in accordance with the season and conditions in the medical facility (but not terry);
2. a nightgown for the postpartum period (sick leave is always issued for childbirth);
3. cotton socks, which will be useful in the delivery room and in the ward;
4. rubber shoes;
5. underwear (nursing bras, at least 5 disposable panties, 2 pairs of regular cotton panties);
6. several towels;
7. a couple of rolls of regular toilet paper;
8. urological or postpartum pads;
9. wet toilet paper or napkins;
10. bra pads;
11. toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo (take samples or travel hygiene products with you);
12. mobile phone and charger for it;
13. medications that are taken regularly and are not contraindicated for pregnant women.

On women's forums, they recommend taking with you boilers, breast pumps (but they are prohibited from using in the maternity hospital), teas to improve lactation, books and other “useful” little things. All this will simply create additional volume, but will never be useful. They only take a cup, spoon, plate, disposable toilet seat covers and garbage bags.

For a newborn

Things for newborns are placed in the bag:

• diapers weighing 3-5 kg ​​at a rate of at least 8 pieces per day;
• at least 2 packs of wet wipes for newborns;
• a package of disposable diapers 60x60 cm;
• baby powder or diaper cream (take one product);
• small scissors (newborn children usually have long nails, they are cut to avoid auto injuries);
• sterile cotton wool or cotton pads for cleaning ears and nose;
• several thin and warm caps;
• 3-4 warm or thin vests (depending on the time of year) size 56 or 62;
• several pairs of sliders;
• a pair of bodysuits or overalls (depending on the time of year and the temperature in the room);
• 3-4 thin and warm cloth diapers if you plan to swaddle your baby.

Mothers also pack the package for discharge from the maternity hospital themselves, but they don’t necessarily take it with them right away; relatives bring it later.

The package for discharge is simply completed:

1. they put clothes and shoes for the mother;
2. if desired, add a minimal amount of decorative cosmetics;
3. clothes and an envelope (or blanket) for the baby;
4. You can put pink or blue ribbon.

Recently, a large selection of ready-made kits (bags) for the maternity hospital has appeared on sale. None of them fully meet the needs of expectant mothers; the bags are completed independently. Since suppliers usually put cheap and not always high-quality items into sets, their prices are not the most affordable, future parents assemble the bag themselves, in accordance with their own tastes and financial capabilities.

Ready bag for the maternity hospital

What does a newborn need in winter - List of things:

Slip

Slip

The first most popular clothing for babies in the winter season. Translated from English, sleep means to sleep. That is, sleepwear. But in practice, it is needed around the clock. Especially during the cold season. It can be worn under a warm jumpsuit outside. And if it’s cool at home, the slip will be the most popular clothing. Therefore, you will need 6-7 pcs. 3 - thin knitted and 4 - warm, flannelette.

Slip is the popular name for a suit. In stores they are referred to as "pajamas", "onesies", "men" or "rompers".

Bodysuit

Bodysuit

These are clothes for children that completely cover the torso and fasten between the legs. Available in both short and long sleeves.

In winter, it is usually worn under a slip or overalls. You can buy 2-3 pieces of knitted ones. A couple of them have short sleeves and one has long sleeves.

Romper with blouses

Romper with blouses

To replace slips, you can buy rompers and blouses. When purchasing, give preference to blouse models with studs in the center, or studs with a wrap around the side.

You will need 3-4 pcs. sliders (3 - from footer and 1 - from jersey). 2-3 blouses (1 from footer and 1 from jersey).

Thin hat - cap

Thin hat - cap

It will be useful even at home, after bath procedures. A hat with ties is preferable so that it does not slip off your ears and head. 1 piece is enough. Material: knitwear.

Socks

Socks

The socks are warm, put on over the slip so that your feet are always warm. 2 pairs are enough. Material: wool or fleece.

Diapers

Diapers

In winter, diapers are usually needed around the clock: at night, for walks and at home. But during the day you need to take several breaks for air baths to avoid diaper rash. Also for these purposes, you will need to purchase diaper rash cream for the diaper. Or baby powder.

To decide on the manufacturer of diapers, buy one from different companies. After use it will be clear what is best for you.

In winter, in an apartment, the baby should have:

• Flannelette slip-suit with closed legs + diaper.
• Or romper+blouse+diaper
• Socks or booties would be appropriate over the overalls.

These are clothes for the room

It is important to know that you should not overheat the room in which the baby lives - this can have a bad effect on his health. Normal temperature for a newborn is + 22° C

The above clothing is designed for exactly this temperature.

In order for a newborn to be comfortable at home in winter, you should carefully monitor the microclimate in his room. Therefore, despite the fact that it is winter outside, you need to ventilate your baby’s room at least once a day. If the air is dry (and this may be due to the use of heaters), then it is better to install a humidifier in the room. Or use a container of water and cover the battery with a damp cloth.

Clothes for a child from 3 to 6 months

Comfortable:

• Button-down shirts.
• In cold weather - an envelope jumpsuit (with sleeves and a bag sewn at the bottom). When buying overalls, focus not on the length of the sleeves, but on the length of the legs. For some reason, all overalls (especially warm ones) are made with excessively long sleeves, and they have to be rolled up.

Inconvenient:

• Baby vests. At this age, as a rule, children are no longer swaddled even at night, and therefore it is extremely inconvenient to use vests without buttons.

How to choose clothes for a newborn/sizes!

Girls, I found it, I think I can learn something from it!

Before going to the store to buy a dowry for a newborn, you need to consider:

· approximate height of the baby and head circumference according to the third ultrasound;

· if the mother and father of the child are short, then the baby will presumably be born small;

· probable date of birth: clothes for premature newborns approximately 44 or 50 sizes;

· most children at birth are 49-55 cm tall, clothing sizes for newborns are 56;

· seams on things must be external;

· Lately, many mothers are refusing to wear baby vests because they are quite uncomfortable;

· if the baby’s parents are tall, then most likely their child will need size 62 at birth.

Keep in mind that by the month a baby who had average measurements will have grown to about 60cm and things will need size 62, and if he had a large wardrobe, then many of the undershirts and bodysuits will remain new.

When choosing, also keep in mind that very young children have not yet developed the correct thermoregulation of the body, so even in the warm season, you need to buy your baby, in addition to light clothes, warm clothes.

Head size

If the child was born on time and full term, then we can assume that the size of his head will be on average 35 cm, and in the vertical dimension - about 13 cm

When buying or sewing hats for babies yourself, this needs to be taken into account. It turns out that the size of a hat for a newborn is 38-42

But if the parents of the child are large, most likely the newborn will be larger than usual - in this case, size 46 will do - buy a pair just in case.

Leg size

Naturally, the sizes of babies are very individual, but it is believed that socks and shoes can be taken slightly “for growth”. Therefore, it will be a good idea if you choose this item of clothing with a ruler - counting out approximately 9-10cm.

Envelope dimensions

Due to the fact that the envelope is considered an integral part of a newborn’s wardrobe, it is bought not for one month, but for at least 3. The standard size is 80cm/80cm or 85/85. In most cases, a baby will still fit in it up to 3-4 months. And in the future you will need something more appropriate for the season.

Slider size

You should definitely buy rompers and blouses before the baby is born in order to take them with you to the maternity hospital. It is customary to take size 56 with you, but if you are expecting a premature baby, then you can also buy 44 or 50. It is advisable to take rompers with fasteners (the ties are very uncomfortable to use), and if you take them in the form of panties, then choose a wide elastic band - it will be ideal for the baby and will not put pressure in the abdomen area, like a regular one.

List of clothes for a newborn in spring

1. bodysuit with long sleeves (2-4 pieces), so that it is fastened in the middle;

2. slips - overalls with closed legs (2-3 pieces) - for home use;

3. “scratchies” - mittens for hands so that the baby does not scratch his face (2 pcs);

4. warm hat (2 pieces) size 36;

5. sleeveless rompers (3-4 pcs);

Things for a newborn for the first time in spring

• The first necessary things for a newborn - the list in spring is in many ways similar to the autumn set. The same light and denser overalls and bodysuits, the same rompers with vests. Perhaps the only difference between these seasons is whether you prepare larger winter clothes or summer clothes in advance.
• If the baby was born in the summer and has already managed to “go through” the autumn season, then it is quite possible that some of the things will still be the right size (although, most likely, he will outgrow most of them), because you bought the same overalls “for growth” " If your child is a “winter” or “spring” child, things that correspond to the autumn list are exactly what is needed.
