What Clothes Your Newborn Baby Really Needs - The Essential Newborn Clothes Kit

105 9
For every mother-to-be, it is very important to feel prepared for baby's arrival. Choosing the essential clothes that you will need for your newborn baby can be a lot of fun, and help you to bond with your baby. Shopping online or from a catalogue makes for a stress-free experience, and many women start early, looking at newborn clothes at the same time as their maternity jeans and maternity wear.

Sleepsuits and bodysuits are the perfect starting point when buying essential clothes for your newborn baby. The bodysuit is worn underneath the sleepsuit except in very warm weather. Always check with your midwife if you are unsure. There are many designs to choose from, and many come in colours that are gender-neutral, making them ideal for parents-to-be who have chosen not to find out the sex of their baby before birth. A sleepsuit is comfortable, and features press-stud fastenings on the inside leg for easy nappy changes. It always looks so adorable that it can be worn as an outfit in itself, but also works as underwear when baby is wearing cute baby wear. The general rule is that a new baby needs one extra layer of clothing to help to maintain their correct body temperature. A pretty dress or long-sleeved t-shirt could be worn over a sleepsuit, ensuring that baby is warm enough and keeping nappy changes as simple as possible, whilst still showing off your baby's new clothes. Sleepsuits and bodysuits are available in multipacks offering great value for money. Choose several cardigans that can easily be worn over a sleepsuit or outfit, ideally one with a hood that will keep baby's head warm when you are out and about.

During colder months, an all-in-one will keep your baby warm outdoors, and will look great also. Choose a neutral colour such as beige or cream that will complement any outfit as well as the tones of your pushchair. An all-in-one with design features such as cuffs that you can convert into mittens is ideal. Hats are essential for keeping newborns at the correct temperature, and help prevent body heat being lost through the top of the head. A newborn hat and slippers are ideal, as baby's feet and head should be kept warm. Babies need a lot of socks, but always look for multipacks as they offer better value for money.

Muslin squares are another essential for any new baby. Use them after feeding to protect your own clothing, or to instantly clean up any mess or spillages. They are 100% cotton and can be washed at 60%. You will need a supply of up to 20, and they come in multipacks.

A bath cape is another useful item, to stop baby from being too cold after getting out of the bath. You can place your baby onto the cape and then wrap it around as you lift baby up, helping you to dry baby quickly and conveniently.

Always have a few sets of small hangers in baby's wardrobe. Baby clothes are often received as gifts with the hangers removed, so it is very useful to have your own supply.

Shopping for baby is all part of the experience of becoming a mother. It is a good idea to start early and look for essentials here and there, as you furnish the nursery and choose your Vertbaudet maternity jeans and Vertbaudet maternity wear. You will feel prepared when the time comes, knowing that your baby's clothes are washed and ready for when he or she comes into the world.
