By the time a child is born, parents, as a rule, acquire a sufficient number of things, not always taking into account the peculiarities of the season. In order to protect yourself from mistakes when choosing, you need to know what a newborn needs in the summer.
The largest purchases, such as a stroller and a bed, do not depend on the season. They are selected depending on the material preferences of the parents. The most convenient is a transforming stroller, which will be used not only in summer, but also next winter, when the child grows up. When buying, you need to pay attention to the presence of a protective net that attaches to the stroller and protects the baby from insects.
Also, the list of things includes a bathtub, a special stand in it or a hammock that holds the child while bathing. A newborn baby needs the same care in summer as it does at other times of the year. Therefore, the child needs diapers, bathing products, clothes. In hot months, the skin sweats and one of the main problems is the occurrence of diaper rash. Therefore, it is better to prefer powder to greasy diaper creams. You may have to use it not only for the groin area, but also for other parts of the body.
Attached to use light cotton T-shirts, bodysuits and socks. A headdress is required - in summer it protects from the sun. It can be a lace hat or a bonnet. It is better to buy things that are not the smallest sizes, otherwise the entire wardrobe will have to be changed within a month after discharge from the maternity ward.
You don't need a warm blanket in summer. A lightweight flannel is quite enough, you can do with ordinary flannel, and in the heat of the day, cotton diapers. These are the basic essentials for a newborn. Everything else can be purchased later as needed.
