For the first time, of course. Then more and more things will be needed, because the baby is growing by leaps and bounds.
In the summer, life is much easier. If only because you do not need to wrap yourself up like cabbage before every going out. But you need to dress not only yourself, but also the baby … Pediatricians have long been advising mothers to follow a simple rule: a baby needs as many layers of clothing as you wear, plus one. Then you will not overheat the child. One more point – it is important to dress the baby so that in the event of even an unexpected trip, he would be comfortable in the car seat with all his clothes. To prevent the baby from freezing, check if his cheeks are warm. And if the temperature outside the window drops below -15 degrees, then it is better to stay at home.
The shopping list for a newborn for the first time in winter is quite extensive. So, you will need at least 10 things.
1. Envelope on a sheepskin
He will definitely not let the baby freeze. Warm fur cannot be replaced by any artificial filler. By the way, you can pick up a transforming envelope, which, as the child grows, turns into a jumpsuit.
Issue price: from 2000 rubles.
2. Jumpsuit with closed legs
If you have not decided on a transformer, consider the option with a warm overalls. The degree of frost resistance of such clothes is estimated, oddly enough, by grams: how much fluff in grams is per centimeter of volume.
Issue price: from 1000 rubles.
3. Cotton or flannel cap
It is worn under a warm hat. The cap will protect the baby’s delicate skin from the hard seams of the warm cap and absorb sweat if the baby does overheat.
Issue price: from 20 rubles.
4. Warm hat
We need one that will cover the baby’s head to the maximum: forehead, cheeks, not to mention the ears.
“A hat-scarf turned out to be my salvation. More precisely, a hat-helmet. She replaces both the hat and the scarf, the child turns in the stroller, but nothing moves out. And there is no need to tie – the process of dressing is accelerated immediately, ”Alena, the mother of one-year-old Marusya, shared her experience.
Issue price: from 100 rubles.
5. Warm socks
If the legs are warm, everything is warm. Until the baby walks on his own, warm socks should be worn under the jumpsuit. Things made of acrylic are suitable for small children, it is a very warm and soft yarn, does not prick and does not irritate the child’s skin.
Issue price: from 50 rubles.
6. Gloves
As soon as you come out of the envelope (and this will happen pretty soon), you need to take care of keeping your fingers warm. It is better if the gloves are coated with a windproof material. Knitted mittens, unfortunately, are not so wind-resistant.
Issue price: scratches – from 20 rubles, warm mittens – from 70 rubles.
7. Fleece jersey
You can’t put on a jumpsuit on a naked body, so a sub-girl is needed: it will replace the adult thermal underwear for the baby.
Issue price: from 600 rubles.
8. Cotton slip
Baby jumpsuit with sleeves and closed legs. A diaper can be easily hidden under it. And to the body, these clothes are the most pleasant.
Issue price: from 200 rubles.
9. Insulated slip
One more layer – put on a warm slip on top of the cotton slip. The baby in the stroller, unlike us, does not move, therefore it freezes faster than the mother. Usually warm slips are made of pure wool.
Issue price: from 800 rubles.
10. Blanket
Even if you are sure that the baby will not freeze, there should be a blanket – just in case. Under it, the baby will be much more comfortable.
“A downy shawl turned out to be a godsend for me. I wrapped Marusya in it and put her in a stroller. It is warm, light, very cozy, Maruska easily fell asleep in it, ”adds Alena.
Issue price: from 500 rubles.
11. Cover for a stroller
In spring, summer and autumn, a raincoat is pulled over the stroller so that the baby does not get wet. And in winter, you can put on a warm cover: this is especially true for those areas where there is a strong wind. Such a cover will protect the child from frost and wind, and the stroller from dirt. After all, washing it is much easier than washing a stroller.
By the way, about washing. You can also buy covers for wheels – so as not to drag street dirt into the staircase or apartment. And some mothers manage to pack the wheels in shoe covers.
Issue price: from 2400 rubles.
12. Coupling for a carriage
This is no longer for the baby, but for the mother. No gloves and mittens will help out as much as a warm muff. It is attached directly to the handle of the stroller, it is convenient to put your hands in there while you roll the baby. And the hands will not freeze.
Issue price: from 270 rubles.
