What are some clothing tips for newborn?

Dressing up a newborn can be a difficult task as they are delicate and need to be handled with care. First-time parents always remain cautious for their newborn and one such thing that always strikes their mind is how to clothe their newborn. Newborns grow quite fast and that's why you should not buy an abundant stock of clothes. The first concern should always be of comfort. Here are some tips related to the clothing of your newborn:

1. Cotton is a skin-friendly fabric. Cotton clothes always give the required comfort. They are gentle on the skin and keep your newborn cool in summer. So, you should buy thin cotton clothes for your newborn.

2. Jumpsuits with zipping or stretchy jumpsuits are highly preferred. They are easy to put on and off.

3. Singlets are easy and quick to wear. Buy at least 5-6 singlets for your baby.

4. Tops are also recommended for a newborn, especially with envelope neck. They are comfortable and very easy to change.

5. Use footies for your baby if you find keeping your baby's socks in his feet difficult. Footies are pants with connected socks.

6. In the winter season, the newborn should be kept warm all day. As their bodies are weak, they are vulnerable to seasonal flu. So, buy thin woollen clothes for your baby. 

7. It's important to dress up your baby in layers in winters. The layers can be taken off as per the temperature of the place where your newborn is. If it's warm, then you can take off one or two layers.

8. Two or three cardigans or jackets should be used in winters for a newborn.

9. Use soft cotton hats for your baby as they lose most of their body heat through the head. So for keeping them warm, hats are of great use.
