The baby's leg is very delicate and fragile, so the first footwear for a newborn should be carefully chosen and with special trepidation.
Types of shoes for kids
Shoes are divided into two categories.
- The first relates to kids who do not yet know how to move independently.
- The second is for "walking" children.
If the child does not yet know how to walk, then do not overload the foot with heavy shoes with a dense sole. It is better to choose a shoe for newborn boys and girls with soft soles.
Another option is booties . Such shoes for newborns can be made by themselves. Of course, if you have certain experience and skills. But if there are none, the birth of the baby will be the reason for this!
Another important factor is the material of manufacture. It must be natural. If you put leather booties to your child for a walk, then his leg will breathe with him! You can put your child in textile sandalaki or wool socks-felt boots. Of course, in the first place, it depends on the weather on the street.
How to choose shoes for a newborn baby?
The size of the newborn's shoes should match the leg. Do not buy shoes with a strong margin. But remember that you need to leave a gap of 0.5 to 1.5 cm, so that the little fingers can move freely inside.
If there is no evidence of a specialist, do not buy orthopedic shoes. The foot is formed up to 7 years, so it is better to pay attention to the anatomical insole, which repeats the contours of the leg. It will help properly form the foot and will prevent the rubbing of the foot.
The ideal fastener is Velcro. It will allow you to fix the foot well, but will not allow pressure on the arch, even if your child has a big ascent.
Choose shoes wisely, and let your baby grow healthy!
