Future moms and dads, as well as young parents, often wonder what size clothes should be bought for a newborn. The size of the undershirts, pants, sliders must be selected taking into account the growth of the baby.
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to buy clothes for a newborn, focus primarily on the growth of the baby. Some parents buy everything they need in advance and choose the smallest size clothing. You don't need to do this. Buy in advance only the essentials, giving preference to clothes designed for the average parameters of newborns.
Step 2
Most models of undershirts, pants, overalls and other clothes for babies have size markings that indicate the growth of the child. The smallest size is 52. It is needed only in very rare cases. For example, clothes of this size are suitable for newborns who were born prematurely, or for very tiny babies. Their height at birth, as a rule, is no more than 50 centimeters.
Step 3
If the growth of the baby at birth was 52-54 centimeters, purchase for him for the first time clothes of size 56. Don't buy too much of it. Remember that your baby grows very quickly in the first months of life. Already after 1-2 months, his clothes will be small and you will have to buy blouses, pants, overalls one size larger.
Step 4
If the baby was born large and his height at discharge was 57 centimeters or more, choose clothes size 62. It will fit the newborn. When the baby is a little older, he will need clothes in size 74.
Step 5
When choosing blouses and undershirts, pay attention not only to the length of the product, but also to other parameters. For example, too narrow models are not suitable for a well-fed baby. When choosing hats and caps, be guided by the size of the baby's head circumference.
Step 6
On clothes made in some countries, there are markings indicating the age of the baby for whom this or that product is suitable. For a newborn, purchase clothing designed for babies between 0 and 3 months.
Step 7
Buy warm clothes for growth. Demi-season or winter convertible overalls for newborns, for example, have a single size. They can be worn from birth until the baby reaches a height of 86 centimeters.
