A newborn baby brings not only joy for the parent, but also a responsibility to be cared for. One of these responsibilities that the parent has is dressing the newborn baby. Ideally, you should shop for clothes for your newborn baby on the way to the bay. That way, you’ll be prepared with clothes when the baby comes home. In this article, we are talking about the steps you need to take to buy and then dress your baby.
Buying Baby Clothes
Comfort is the most important factor when purchasing baby clothes. Clothes should be comfortable for the baby. Babies grow very fast, so it’s a good idea to dress one or two sizes up. It also helps make larger clothes more comfortable than those that fit correctly. The fabric of the diaper should be soft – babies’ skin is particularly sensitive and you don’t want them scratched or otherwise damaged by hard chipped clothing. Online stores are some of the best options for buying baby clothes. Most of these stores have free shipping. Besides checking for free shipping, you should also check their return policy.
How to Dress a Newborn Baby?
After talking about how and where to buy baby clothes, now let’s move on to how we can actually dress a baby with these clothes. Babies can be cruel beings. This is especially true if their head or face is covered with something. Therefore, when you wear a diaper on your baby, make sure that it does not cover their head for a long time or not at all. The same principle applies to buttons that are particularly complex. It takes time to do this instead of testing baby’s patience when unbuttoning it, you can do it much faster using a snap button. As for the actual dressing process, putting on the diaper is usually the first step. Diapers are usually changed after placing the baby on a comfortable surface.
Diaper Change
Changing your newborn’s diaper will be a full-time job for you for the next few months. So here we need to talk about how to put a diaper on a baby. There are two types of diapers: disposable diapers and cloth diapers. Disposable diapers are those made by companies like Huggies. They usually have adhesive or Velcro tapes that help to securely fasten the diaper. The diaper packaging will have detailed instructions on how to be worn by the baby. As these instructions are usually with pictures and everything and will be specific to the brand you are purchasing, we are unlikely to improve them here. On the other hand, cloth diapers do not come with instructions.
Using cloth diapers is also not complicated. How you actually use them depends on their structure. Cloth diapers can also attack Velcro hooks, but many have diaper pins used to keep it secure.
Steps to Dress Your Newborn Baby After Diaper
After changing their diapers, it’s time to put on their clothes. If it is a body that you have chosen for the baby, you should keep the suit flat on the surface from the side and then lift the doll and place it on the suit. Then wrap one piece and snap or zip from ankle to neck or as appropriate.
For a two-piece outfit, you need to sew the top first. As mentioned, choose tops that don’t cover your baby’s head and face for long. For a shirt, you can also lay the baby on top of it and put one arm at a time and close it. After that, you can dress the bottoms on the baby. As with adults, you make one leg at a time, but here you have to gather the hem of the trousers and pull them over the baby’s leg. Then do the same for the other leg. Lift baby slowly and slide his pants over his diapers.
After putting the top and bottom, you can put other layers according to the season or weather. If you wish, you can dress the baby in a hat and crib shoes for extra comfort and you’re ready to go!
