Baby's layette. What should be included in the layette?
Regardless of whether you already have children or your family is about to expand, every future mother will be faced with the task of preparing a layette. Even experienced mothers, when collecting things for their child, look for information on what is necessary. And if you're looking for such information, you've come to the right place!
Every mother would like to prepare for the birth of her child so that nothing surprises her. What is necessary to make your first moments together easier? As mothers who have faced these questions ourselves, we have gathered our common experiences to make it easier for other mothers to prepare a layette!
What is most important? Small children grow quickly, so when preparing clothes, take the season into account and choose several pieces of rompers, caftans or bodysuits from a given size. Contrary to appearances, we will need a lot of things for the baby, so to make this task easier we have prepared a list of must-have products! And before we get to the list, let's discuss its most important elements.
The most important thing when it comes to baby clothes is that they are made of cotton. The baby's delicate skin and head need soft fabrics and cotton hats from the very first moments.
Before you go to the maternity ward, you need to think about returning from the hospital. For small and large first journeys, a stroller will come in handy, but remember that you won't leave the hospital with your baby without a car seat. In addition to clothes for your baby, you also need a car seat and a car seat cover. The little treasure should not travel in overalls and coats, and the swaddle will ensure a safe and comfortable journey for the baby. Pay attention to the design of the cover, those with cotton velor will work much better than polyester ones. The swaddle will also make going out with your baby much more pleasant because you won't have to worry about your baby overheating. Just put your baby in the seat, fasten the seat belt, and then wrap it up and you're done. You can go! The cover is also suitable for a gondola, so it should be included in your layette. If your baby is due in the summer, it is worth buying a seat insert that will make your baby sweat less.
What should you remember at home? Of course, the baby needs a bed, a cotton sheet and a baby swaddle, but definitely avoid using bed protectors, which may look beautiful, but they are dangerous, especially for a newborn! There should be fewer, not more, things in the bed. Choose the above-mentioned swaddle, blanket or sleeping bags.
When the first emotions subside and it's time for the first bath, of course a baby bathtub, delicate diapers and towels will come in handy. Newborns have sensitive skin, so choose muslin towels that are gentle on the baby's skin. If we are on the subject of bathing, of course, appropriate cosmetics and diapers in the right size will also be useful for the newborn.
Of course, we can buy many gadgets for our little one, but the products mentioned above are a real must-have!
When the child grows older, it will certainly be easier to assess the needs for accessories that make motherhood simply carefree!
