With the birth of the long-awaited child, the question arises: what is the best way to dress the baby for a walk in the cold season. Such a convenient thing as a winter jumpsuit is endowed with the best qualities of an envelope for newborns, but at the same time it is a full-fledged clothing. It is necessary to approach the choice of this product extremely responsibly, after all the comfort and health of the baby depends on it.
Models
The advantage of winter overalls is that it does not need to be corrected all the time on the child and to worry that it will not be blown by the wind. It is easy for mom to put it on the newborn, and this is an important point, since babies are naughty during long gatherings for a walk. But we note that this thing is ideal only for a certain age period: when a baby begins to get used to the pot, you should switch to separate clothes.
Consider the main types of winter overalls for newborns:
- Overalls bag. The top of the product looks like a normal children's jacket, and the bottom resembles a spacious warmed bag. The advantage of this clothes is that you can put the baby in it right in the blanket. In addition, babies, given their still imperfect thermoregulation, feel more comfortable when their legs are together.
- Traditional jumpsuit (jacket and trousers are a whole)
- Transformer - combines the first two options: the bag with the help of zippers, if necessary, is divided into two legs, while its length increases slightly.
In winter, the weather is not always the same, so overalls can be divided by their heat resistance:
- Proper winter - with sewn thick sheepskin or fluff liner that will protect the baby from frost.
- Demi-season - suitable for cold late autumn and winter thaw. This model is equipped with a warming synthetic insulation that has the ability to pass air. If the baby was born at the end of winter, then it is quite possible to do with this option.
- Universal - with modern insulation that will not freeze in the cold and will protect the child from overheating in the thaw. Such a product often has a detachable lining.
Winter overalls for newborns are fastened with a zipper on the front (more convenient when there are two of them), they must have a hood that draws on the drawstring. Products are also complemented by warm mittens and booties, removable or sewn.
We should also mention the warm winter envelopes for the discharge of the child from the maternity hospital. If in previous times for this purpose they used an ordinary warm blanket, then modern envelopes for newborns look like sleeping bags with a hood with a lot of fasteners. Such an envelope is easily unbuttoned and turns into a warm blanket. There are also winter envelopes-overalls - with sleeves that do not limit the movement of the baby’s handles.
Material and insulation
When choosing a winter jumpsuit for a newborn, pay attention to the materialof which the thing is made. After all, the convenience of the baby depends on it. In addition, problems are not desirable when washing the product. Is always read the label carefully. As for the top, it is usually usually made of polyester - a modern synthetic material. It is durable, practical, not blown and at the same time does not retain moisture.
No less important is the composition of the insulation. Their range is quite large: sheepskin, down, faux fur, synthetic fillers (from obsolete padding polyester to innovative technological materials).
- Sheepskin warms the baby in any frost.However, the thermoregulation of the newborn is still imperfect, and in such clothes it can easily overheat, which is dangerous.
- Natural fluff retains heat and protects from moisture, however, in many children it causes allergies, moreover, it is not too easy to clean (it can dry off machine washable, it dries for a long time).
- Holofiber (a kind of polyester, the fibers look like springs) is not allergic, very light, keeps heat well, does not absorb moisture, and is easy to wash.
- Thinsulate - does not lose its thermo-insulating properties even with significant wetting.
- Sintepon - soft and elastic synthetic fiber. Such products attract with their low price, but they do not withstand severe frosts (suitable only for warm winters), besides, they do not let the air out of the way, which is unacceptable for babies.
Colour
Traditionally, parents, when choosing the color of the jumpsuit, are guided by the sex of the child: blue and blue models buy newborn boys, respectively pink ones - to girls. Clothing may also have a neutral shade that will suit an infant of any gender: white, beige, light green. Often there is a combination of color overalls, they can be decorated with a discreet print.
According to psychologists, the infant should be dressed in clothes of saturated color, since visual contact with bright colors develops the cerebral cortex.
Firms
Winter overalls for newborns produce both domestic and foreign companies.
Russian options are traditionally in demand because of their affordable prices. For example, our domestic brand I love mum is engaged in tailoring for pregnant women, as well as children of various ages. Product design is developed by young designers from Russia in collaboration with Italian colleagues. Multi-level control aims to use the best raw materials and innovative production technologies and product packaging.
Another domestic enterprise KIKO develops models of overalls for babies, comfortable to wear and as simple as possible in the process of dressing. It should be noted that the products are manufactured in China, however, Russian quality standards are strictly observed.
Russian brand "Kurnosiki" belonging to the well-known company Mir detstva, specializes in the production of goods for newborns, including winter jumpsuits of catchy stylish design and good quality.
Worthy quality is different models of overalls for infants, released in countries with the same cold winters as we have, for example, in Finland. So, trademark Kerry It is known for its high level of quality and durability. Of course, due to the relatively high price of children's coveralls, not all families can afford them. However, you can purchase a model from the previous collection with a certain discount on sales.
Another reputable Finnish brand - Reima. Children's clothing of this company is resistant to precipitation and can be used even in extreme cold. Overalls are often equipped with a detachable insulation, which makes the products demi-season.
Company production Huppa (also Finland) focuses on three main sectors: especially durable things for active children, classic everyday wear (an economical option) and tech - products made from state-of-the-art membrane materials.
Products of Polish manufacturers also deserve attention. For example, brand Pilguni produces high-quality transforming overalls on sheepskin with a removable insulation. The outer material of the product has a special moisture-resistant impregnation.
Italian brand Chicco manufactures overalls for newborns with a heater of eiderdown, as well as of modern thin material - a thermoram (for walks in severe frost - 15 º).The upper part of such products, as a rule, is made of practical nylon or microfiber: they are durable, do not absorb dirt and are easy to wash.
How to choose for the baby?
When choosing a winter overalls for the baby, pay special attention to the neck of the product, as well as to the sleeves and legs. The collar should securely close the neck of the baby, while not supporting the chin. The cuffs on the sleeves should not be too tight. It is advisable to find a model with rubber bands or clasps for mittens, then they will always be at hand. The legs can also be with comfortable elastic bands that are attached to the shoes.
Remember the hood: too little will not fit the cap, and too big will subside from the head of the child. Be sure to check the availability of the drawstring to adjust the volume of the hood.
Pockets where you can put a pacifier or napkins will be useful in a children's jumpsuit.
Since the Soviet deficit In our country, there is a tradition to buy children clothes for growth. But the newborn will not be comfortable in such overalls: too big a thing will be worse to keep warm. In addition, it is impossible to predict how the child will grow: after all, someone first grows legs faster, and then pens, and vice versa. The best solution in this case is to buy a product with a stock of 1-2 sizes, especially if the baby was born at the beginning of winter.
Choose a model of winter overalls, based on their means. The branded model of modern materials with innovative insulation will cost several times more expensive than the simple version on the padding polyester. If you are constrained in means, stop the choice on a domestic manufacturer or track sales from foreign brands.
Reviews
Judging by the feedback from the parents, the above-mentioned Finnish winter overalls have really excellent quality. (Kerry, Reima). Children walk in them even in a twenty-degree frost, while under their outer clothing they wear only a thin blouse. Also, young mothers are pleased that these products are very soft and pleasant from the inside. A minor drawback of overalls from Finland, in their opinion, is a small assortment of colors.
Comfortable and polish sheepskin products from Pilgunu. Moms are satisfied with the quality of tailoring and the fact that the removable liner makes the jumpsuit versatile - you can use it in the fall, winter and spring.
A lot of positive feedback have the so-called coveralls bags. They are convenient for transporting children in the car: they have slots for belts, such as the model of the Huppa company. However, this model from the British brand Mothercare has some drawback: the bottom of the bag is fastened with buttons, and if you take the baby in your arms, cold can penetrate the legs.
