Getting Clothes For Premature Babies

,

In their first few weeks of existence, premature kids need all the care and protection they can get. A lot of preparation has to be made before and after their arrival. If you can register or order clothes for premature babies on time, you will have the time to cater for other needs such as feeding and bathing. Your baby will need to change frequently so do not underestimate your budget.

Parents usually feel discouraged to buy clothes before the children are born because they do not know the exact size that will fit them. However, this does not mean you should not be prepared. To avoid waste of money, try and negotiate with the vendor and tell him or her that you will be returning clothes that do not fit well. If you are unable to find such vendors, just go ahead. Buy 0-3 month old cloth or start with 3-6 month old wears if the scan reveals that your baby is big.

You should be sure of the period that you will put to bed. Children born in the winter have different needs from those born in the summer. Fleece wears, snow suits, hats, socks and booties are some of the essentials for the winter period. Make sure the clothes are also not undersized so that they can be properly covered.

Any cloth you buy for your premature baby should not be tight. The cloth they wear should be free on them to allow free air-flow even while they sleep. Such wears prevent skin disorders such as rashes and also make the baby sleep well. Ribbons, several buttons and decorative items should be less or totally avoided.

During the first few weeks, you will be changing diapers frequently. If you do not have time to wash frequently, you may opt for cloth diaper service or buy disposable diapers. Do not make the mistake of wearing your baby a dirty diaper because this can cause discomfort and infection. Buy several diapers before your baby arrives; you will need about ten to twelve of them each day until after some weeks.

Leggings and blankets are also important. Five to seven leggings will do while three wearable blankets should be okay. The wearable blankets have more advantages than the traditional blankets and they prevent the risk of letting the child to suffocate. The leggings should be washed at all times because your child can mess two or three up within a few hours. Choose leggings that can be separated so that you can change only the dirty ones.

If the clothing is too expensive, select those that are one month above the baby's age. For example, if you are purchasing for a 2-month old child, get the ones that are for 3-month old children, especially if your child grows fast. However, bear in mind that the season can change within a month and the cloth may not be useful again.

Clothes for premature babies can be obtained cheap when you buy from the right places. Another factor that can guarantee cheap sales is when you buy in bulk. Your child is important so you should do anything you can to make sure he or she stays healthy.
