Winter overalls for newborns

When preparing for the winter, you probably have a question about how to sew or where to buy a winter overall for a newborn. What to look for, and how to choose the suitable overalls, we will discuss in this publication.

What jumpsuit is needed for a newborn?

Listening to the experience of moms, you can definitely say that a winter overall for a newborn should be piece-work. This is necessary so that at the moment when you take the baby in his arms from the stroller, his back does not become bare, or cold air does not get under the jacket.

Next, let's talk about the material from which the overalls are sewn. Here it is necessary to take into account several factors:

• The top layer of overalls should be waterproof, in case you have to get under the snow or rain. Of course, this condition is not mandatory, after all the child will lie in the stroller, and in case of rainfall, raincoats are provided. However, choosing between the blotted and waterproof fabric, with other things being equal, the second should be given preference;
• the filler of the overalls can be from fluff, sintepon, tinsulite, etc. The latter becomes more and more popular. Tinsulate is much warmer than down. However, do not forget that in newborns, heat transfer is disturbed and it is very easy to overheat. Therefore, choose the filler that is optimal for your climatic conditions;
• The lining of the overalls is most often made of sheepskin or fleece. Lambskin lining is more suitable for harsh winters, and for fleece - for warm winters. It should be noted that in thermo overalls only fleece liners are used. But such overalls are not designed for cold winters. The lower limit of their temperature is minus 10 degrees.

Winter overalls-transformer for newborns

Let's talk about this kind of winter clothes for a newborn, like a cover-jumpsuit. It should be said that such a jumpsuit has practically no flaws. It can be used as an envelope when the child is very small, and as a jumpsuit, when it grows a little. To make an envelope out of a jumpsuit and vice versa, it is enough to restrain zippers on the legs. Another feature of the winter overalls of the transformer for the newborn is the possibility of changing the size. That is, while the child is small, he has enough space in the overalls-envelope. The legs are then zipped. And if it is to be turned into a jumpsuit, then about 6 additional centimeters appear due to the fact that now the child's legs can look out of the pants.

How to choose the size of a winter overall for a newborn?

If your child is already born, then you can choose the size based on his growth at the beginning of winter. But in any case it's not advisable to buy a size 56 overall. Since for 3 winter months (and maybe November and March will be seized) your baby will grow strong. If you are planning to buy a coveralls in November, it is better to take a size equal to the height of the child plus 10-12 centimeters. Children are known to grow rapidly, and the fact that in the beginning of winter could be large, by the end may be already small. Therefore, the more, the better. If you choose a jumpsuit for an unborn baby, then everything is a little more complicated. The growth of children at birth ranges from 48 to 56 centimeters. And to predict it is almost impossible. In this case, a winter envelope is suitable for newborns. The size of it can be 62 or 68. It depends not only on the expected growth (based, for example, on hereditary factors), but also on the month in which replenishment is expected. If in December, it's better to take 68, and if in February, then it's enough and overalls 62 sizes.
