Baby Clothes
For All Seasons
|
Few things seem more important at a baby shower than duckies, monkeys
and theme colors. Once you get the baby home though, the most
important thing about baby clothes is how well they protect your baby.
Depending on the time of year that your baby is born, and the type of
climate you live in, there are a variety of concerns to take into
consideration for your baby's very sensitive nature.
For summer babies, or babies in warm climates, overheating is not the
only concern. A baby's skin is incredibly sensitive to light,
especially with the increasingly less protective o-zone layer.
Sunscreen is not the only necessity for baby's sensitive skin. Keeping
a towel or blanket over the baby's carriage or bassinet during summer
play is a great way to keep the sun from harming your baby. Umbrellas
and pop up tents are also great for beach days. Make sure there is plenty
of ventilation but little to no sun—that way your baby won’t get sunburned
or have to squint at the bright sun rays.
For daily summer wear, onesies that are made of a lightweight cotton
are a great alternative to pants and shirts. In addition to being comfortable,
they will easily fit in a small bag or purse that you can bring along
in extra in case of a spill or accident. Another bonus of your baby
being born in the summer is that it will keep shoe costs down, since
a baby in a stroller in seventy five to eighty degree weather does not
really need to wear shoes! Keeping a blanket in the stroller is important,
especially if you're in air conditioned buildings a lot, since babies
are a lot more sensitive to the change in air temperature.
For winter wear, bundling babies in layers is a good way to combat the
difference between heated buildings and the outside. Avoiding long
stretches of being outside in colder temperatures is probably a good
idea, but for short walks or trips between cars and buildings, warm
bundling is vital. If you live in a climate that has a lot of snow,
the danger of sun burn is even more prevalent than in the summer, since
it attacks from all angles. Warm socks, mittens, and hats will do a
good deal to keep most of the baby's body heat in. Buntings that button
down the front are a great way to let the baby escape from the heat
a little bit when you are inside without too much effort for you or
discomfort for the baby.
Layers work in almost every weather. As any New Englander will tell
you, the ability to put on a layer or take it off is the key to
combating shifting climates. This is particularly important for your
baby, who is much more sensitive than you to slight changes in temperature
or outside conditions. So keeping an extra sweater around, or putting
an onesie underneath warmer clothing is a great way to prepare for anything
that Mother Nature has in store. She likes to keep new mothers on their
toes!

conceived after years of “trying”. Here's how it happened…
