If the pregnancy is first, then there is a lot to learn, understand, many questions will arise on the upbringing of the baby, and this is not surprising, because before you is your long-awaited child, who really needs your care.

Sizes of newborns

Everyone knows that all babies are born with different weight and height, some may be very small (with a weight of 2 kg and a height of 48-50 cm), and others might be strong (between 4 kg and 55 cm). Therefore, before buying clothes for babies, a future mother needs to figure out what children's sizes of newborns exist. When buying things, you need to pay attention to the fact that they do not hamper your baby. You don’t need to buy a lot of clothes of the same size, because the size of the newborn changes quickly, you don’t have time to put on one set, as the second will already become small. It also happens that a child is born with low weight, but large growth, or vice versa, therefore, clothes for each baby are selected individually. For general information: when buying clothes for babies, you need to pay attention not only to height and weight, but also to such parameters as the volume of the head in order to choose a bonnet or hat, girth of the hips, abdomen and chest.

Clothes for baby

Today, most mothers prefer foreign manufacturers. The sizes of children's clothing of foreign manufacturers can be seen in the table.

The size of the newborn by months can be considered using the following grid. It is considered the simplest and easiest to remember - every 3 months you need to add 6 cm to the previous clothing size:

- the size of the baby from 1 to 3 months is 56 cm;

- from 3 months to 6 months - 62 cm;

- from six months to 9 months - 68 cm;

- from 9 months to a year - 74 cm;

- from a year to 1.5 years - 80 cm;

- from 1.5 to 2 years - 86 cm.

As we have already figured out above, the sizes of newborn children differ among themselves. So clothes for babies are different, depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, each mom should know the size of her baby, so as not to get confused when she sees the unfamiliar numbers on the labels.

How to choose a hat or cap for a child

Hats, bonnets are one of the necessary things in the wardrobe of the baby. When choosing a headgear, you need to know the circumference of the head of the newborn. The first time you recognize this indicator in the hospital. At birth, the neonatologist will take a measurement, as this serves as one of the important characteristics of the development of the newborn.

Consider the size of the head of the baby:

- at birth - about 35 cm;

- at the age of 3 months - 40 cm;

- at 6 months - 44 cm;

- at 9 months - 46 cm;

- at 12 months - 47 cm;

- at 1.5 years - 48 cm.

Now, knowing the circumference of your baby’s head, you can easily pick a hat for him. When choosing clothes and a bonnet, it is best to pay attention to models made of natural fabrics so that the seams are on the outside of the product, since the skin of the newborn is still very soft, and irritation can be very easily provoked. Most importantly, the baby’s clothes should be comfortable, practical and not bring any discomfort.

The need for a crib for a newborn

A crib for a newborn is one of the important purchases for a new family member. The child should sleep separately. The choice of crib should be carried out very carefully, because it is in it that your baby will spend most of his time. In it you can eat from a bottle, play with hanging toys, and not just sleep. The crib should be of high quality, completely safe, and most importantly - comfortable not only for the crumbs, but also for you. It should be in harmony with the existing interior.
