Summer clothes for newborn babies

When children are born during extreme seasons such as summer and winter , it can be difficult for parents to know how to best dress them. One might think that summer clothes for newborns are the same as for everyone else, ie. that in summer heat it is better with less clothes. But is it really true? What clothes should newborn wear during the warmer months?

The answer may seem contradictory. In fact, newborns experience the temperature differently than older children and adults. While the climate may seem oppressive and hot to you, your baby may be comfortable with it. Or he or she may even freeze a bit.


Summer clothes for newborn babies

As I said, newborn babies do not perceive temperatures the same way adults do. This means that we have to take into account several things when we dress them.

The first thing we need to keep in mind is that newborn babies regulate body temperature primarily with their feet and head. Therefore, even though it is a particularly hot day, you should still keep your baby's head and feet covered. Choose lightweight fabrics and materials, e.g. cotton.

Another thing to consider has to do with your child's skin type. Because the skin is so thin and fragile, newborns are more sensitive to skin irritation due to the heat . The same applies if there is friction between the skin and the fabric or if the clothes are too tight and tight.

Therefore, dress your baby in loose, lightweight clothing that is free from synthetic fibers. Choose natural, organic fabrics and white, unbleached garments if possible.

The best fabrics for newborns

When dressing your little one in the summer, you should prioritize materials over design. The best fabrics are cotton, hemp, linen or silk.

The best is always cotton. Check labels before buying and make sure the garments are made of 100% cotton . In addition, choose fabrics that do not contain dyes, especially dark colors. Fabric colors can be irritating to your child's delicate skin.

Types of clothing for day and night

During the summer, newborn children should wear base garments that offer both comfort and protection. Your child's summer wardrobe should include t-shirts, undershirts, onesies, socks, hats and blankets.

vests

White cotton underwear is a must in the wardrobe of a newborn baby. They are very useful. If the temperature rises, you can remove a layer of clothing and your child's torso will still be covered in soft, comfortable clothing.

Onesies or bodys

Choose a body that is made of cotton and has buttons between the legs. Not only do the buttons make it easier to change diapers, but they also let you unbutton and loosen your clothes if it gets too hot.

During the summer you can choose short sleeved onesies. These allow the legs and arms to move freely and prevent the child from overheating.

Cotton socks or socks

Use simple cotton socks or socks to cover your children's feet. Choose thin, lightweight garments to make sure your baby doesn't overheat . Also avoid wearing shoes.

Hat or hat

As I said, your child's feet and head are the body parts that help him or her regulate his or her body temperature. You can choose fabric shawls or knitted hats that you attach under your chin. Again, always choose cotton.

blankets

A thin cotton blanket is good to have during the summer months. For example, a blanket allows you to dress your child in lighter clothing, with the option of wrapping him or her if needed in the blanket. Blankets also allow the baby's skin to breathe and adapt to different temperatures throughout the day.

As a final recommendation, do not use perfumes or scented detergents on your child's clothing for the first 6 months of life. They can give a rash . Also, stay away from accessories that can cause your baby to sweat and consequently irritate the skin.

Remember at the same time that during your child's first months of life, you should not expose your skin to direct sunlight , especially during the hours when the sun is strongest (between 11 am and 3 pm). This means that if you are going to the beach, be sure to bring an umbrella and keep your baby in the shade. This applies until the child reaches the age of one year.
