The complete baby clothes guide

In the first days after birth , babies cannot yet regulate their own body temperature well . That is why it is important to choose the right baby clothes that help keep your child comfortable and warm. The right choice of clothing not only contributes to a stable body temperature, but also makes changing and changing a lot easier and more efficient. This not only saves time, but also ensures that your baby feels comfortable.

How many baby clothes do you need?

It is useful to have enough baby clothes at home, so that you do not have to wash immediately after every accident. Babies make a lot of stains! Start with a few sets in size 50-56 , as babies grow quickly and this smallest size is only worn for a short time. Make sure you have a good mix of rompers, rompers, pants and sweaters.

A good rule of thumb is to have at least 6 of each type of clothing. This way you can easily change and you won't immediately be in trouble if something gets dirty.

Choose the right materials for baby clothes

Your baby's skin is very sensitive, so it's important to choose soft, breathable fabrics like cotton, bamboo or wool . These materials are comfortable and help regulate your baby's body temperature well. Stretchy fabrics, like the Hema bamboo wrap-around rompers , are ideal because they are easy to put on and take off. This is a big advantage, especially when changing diapers.

Take the season into account

The choice of baby clothes also depends on the season in which your baby is born:

• Winter baby: Opt for warm layers, such as long-sleeved wool rompers, soft wool cardigans and comfy onesies. Stretchy materials keep your baby nice and warm without being too tight. Having 2 wool rompers makes a world of difference in those first few days.

• Summer baby: Go for airy and breathable fabrics, such as cotton rompers and thin onesies. Avoid synthetic materials that can irritate or sweat.

Convenience is important

You will need to change them regularly, so choose clothes with handy closures such as snaps or zippers . This makes dressing and changing a lot easier, especially when your baby is kicking around.

Safety first with baby clothes

When it comes to baby clothes, safety is key. Avoid clothes with small buttons, bows or decorations that can come loose. Make sure the clothes are not too tight, so your baby can move freely and breathe properly.
