The question of how to properly dress newborn babies, very often worries young parents. Still, because kids are so easily supercooled and, conversely, overheated! Even more difficult is for newly-made parents in the cold season, when it is very difficult to adapt to a large number of clothes. Let's consider the questions about what a winter newborn needs and how to properly dress it in the winter.
Necessary things for a newborn in the winter
A standard set of clothes for babies first days and months of life is very dependent on the time of year. If in the hot summer a newborn will have enough body with a short sleeve, a light raspashonok and diapers, then winter time dictates its conditions. So, that is useful to winter babies from clothes:
- outer clothing - winter overalls or a blanket-envelope (to choose from);
- two caps - thin and warm;
- warm bodi- "little men";
- thin body with long sleeves;
- sliders and raisins;
- socks, mittens-scratches;
- pants on a wide elastic band;
- thin (calico) and warm (flannel) diapers - they will come in handy, even if you are not going to swaddle a baby.
Of course, you will need not one copy of each item, but several. The number will depend on your preferences: someone, for example, is easier to swaddle an infant, while others, on the contrary, prefer diapers to a variety of children's clothes. But some things you definitely need. This applies to a smart suit or other clothes for discharging newborns, and in winter - also a warm blanket or envelope. Also undispensable are the loincloths - a very convenient thing for both diapers and under the usual sliders.
How to dress a newborn in winter at home?
Winter outfit for a newborn can vary depending on the air temperature in your home. If the apartment is warm (20-25 ° C), then the baby can be dressed in a diaper, a rasp and a slider. If the room is cooler, you can put warm sliders on the straps on top or just cover the baby. To put it in too warm clothes is not worth it. But it's too easy to put on pediatricians, pediatricians also do not recommend: the thermoregulation system for newborns is just starting to work, and the baby can freeze. Parents themselves should find in this matter a golden mean, visually controlling the temperature of the child's body. For example, if the baby sweats - it is obvious that he is hot. In this case, replace the clothing with an easier one. If the child is frozen, it can be seen by the following signs: pale extremities, cold nose and ears, hiccups, frequent urination. Also, the baby can shrink from the cold, pressing the handles and legs.
Clothes for winter walks
And now let's discuss the question of how to walk with a newborn in the winter on the street . Winter cold, imperfect thermoregulation processes of the child, mentioned above, and his passive behavior on the walk make us dress the baby warmer. At the same time, tight outerwear and winter covers on the stroller imply a potential overheating of the baby, which is also not very good. Do not forget that overheating for a child (especially a newborn baby) is much more dangerous than hypothermia. The latter is fraught with a cold, and a prolonged rise in body temperature can lead to dehydration and other dangerous consequences for children's health.
Therefore, dress the child in the same way as at home, plus one or two layers of clothing, taking into account the weather conditions. For example, if the street windy weather and -5 ° C, then you can dress the baby like this:
- diapers;
- shirt or raspashonka;
- sliders on buttons or panties with eurorezinkoy;
- fleece suit;
- bonnet + warm hat;
- overalls;
- Mittens (if the overalls do not have closed handles).
If the street is a plus temperature, you can wear a lighter, demi-season overalls or not to wear underneath a warm suit and an extra cap.
With changeable weather, be prepared to go home to dress up a toddler who is too hot. Only by acquiring such experience, you will eventually learn to dress your crumbs on the weather - just as you need!
