Baby's Clothes

Give priority to

• Soft and comfortable materials against durability.
• Babies grow fast and will outgrow their clothing quickly hence durability will not be an issue.
• Clothes for both hot and cold weather/environment.

 Type of clothing

• Onesies: Little one piece jumpsuit without legs and buttons at the crotch – for daytime (hot weather).
• Sleepsuits: Easy-to-use popper with legs and buttons at the crotch – for nighttime (cold weather).
• Both types give easy access when changing your baby's diaper. Minimal disturbance when your baby is sleeping.

 Materials to choose

• Lightweight.
• Good moisture absorbency.
• Body heat retention.
• Good ventilation.

 Things to avoid

• Tight seams (constrict baby’s skin and will leave marking).
• Laces (may cause irritation to skin).
• Buttons on skin area (may cause injury and irritation).

 Tips when dressing your baby

• Find a flat surface and try to avoid high places.
• NEVER leave your baby unattended.
• Stretch the clothes NOT the baby! (Example: Pull baby's hand through sleeves instead of pushing baby's hand which could lead to injury.)
• Do not overdress. It can cause over-heating or irritation to baby.
• Sing, talk, giggle and turn dressing into a fun time with your baby to foster bonding.
• ALWAYS place the diaper on first to avoid urine, stool or stains to transfer on to clothes.
• Avoid detergents that can cause irritation to baby's skin when washing baby's clothes.
