Obtaining Clothes For Premature Babies

By Maryellen Lamb


Newborn babies need great care and attention. They need food, hospitality, rest and clothes that can make them very comfortable. Hence, getting clothes for premature babies is an essential thing one must do before and after the baby is born. If you do this early, you will have more time to take care of the other basic needs like feeding and bathing. Do not plan on a low budget because your new kid will be messy and thus require frequent changing.

One of the discouragements many parents have about buying the clothing before their arrival is that they are unable to predict their normal size. This should not be a problem if you can return the ones that do not fit well. Get a few 0-3 month clothes because they quickly outgrow this. If the scan reveals your baby is big, you may skip the 0-3 month wears entirely.

There are different wears for different seasons. A baby who is born in the winter needs something that can protect him or her from cold. Examples of winter clothes are fleece wears and snow suits. Hats and socks are also useful as they prevent cold from entering through the head and feet.

Premature babies need a lot of comfort so their clothing should not be tight. They need the types that can allow free air movement even while they sleep. Do not buy clothes with several buttons, decorative items and ribbons because these things are dangerous.

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.

Try to get about five to seven leggings. Since premature babies are messy, get the ones that are separable so you will not have to remove the whole clothes while changing. The waist band should be elastic because babies can gain weight easily. About two to three wearable blankets are also required. The blanket is a good night wear because it keeps the baby warm. It is better than the traditional blanket because it prevents the risk of suffocation while sleeping.

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.

You can get cheap clothes for premature babies from the right vendors. Buying in bulk attracts discounts so when buying in the summer, make budget for the winter wears too. Babies are priceless gifts so you should do anything possible to preserve and protect them.
