Initial equipment for the spring babies in Karlsruhe
So the youngest Karlsruhe residents are properly dressed for the start of life in springtime
The crib is set up, the changing table is set up and the music box is waiting to play its first lullaby to your little one. When moms and dads-to-be take a look in the closet, they are unsure whether they have bought the right clothes and whether the materials are suitable for the season in which their baby will be born. Helpful tips and tricks are available right in the heart of the fan-shaped city.
This initial equipment makes sense for Karlsruhe spring babies
Babies who are born in Karlsruhe now or whose due date falls in spring need to be prepared for temperature fluctuations. In the morning it is still fresh, while in the afternoon the thermometer climbs into the double digits. As with us adults, the onion look is a very good solution here: "A wool fleece protects the little ones outdoors, plus a hat in a wool-silk material mix. A bodysuit, tights and trousers under the overall - so you can gradually take off the layers," explains Nicki Gohl from Hergard. A well-known tip: the best place to check whether your baby is too warm or too cold is the back of the neck. This should be comfortably warm, but never sweaty or cold.
"Above all, practical" - that's how clothes should be for newborns. "Swaddle bodysuits are particularly suitable here, as you don't have to put them on and take them off over the head", says Nicki Gohl. Easy to button and quick to change, wrap-around bodies are a must-have on the list for the first outfit.
Baby's first equipment checklist for spring
An exemplary checklist makes shopping for yourself or the wish list for family and friends easier:
- five to six wrap bodies
- two to three pairs of tights
- three to four pairs of pants with closed feet
- two to three hats in a wool-silk material mix
- a wool fleece overall
- two to three woolen socks
- two to three cardigans
- two to three pyjamas with closed feet
- a pair of thin mittens
In addition to clothing, sufficient muslin cloths also serve as sun protection, burp cloths or as a puck aid (the baby is wrapped tightly, which is modeled on the tightness in the womb).
The right size and the ideal material for newborns in Karlsruhe Spring
The size of the baby before birth can serve as a guide for the size of the baby clothes: "People often misjudge the size and buy clothes that are far too big. It is advisable to buy two or three bodies in 50 and the rest in 56, which will fit most newborns," recommends Nicki Gohl. If the baby is already quite big at the time of the examinations, it is a good idea to start with a few items of clothing in 56 and then switch to size 62. "In spring, garments in a wool-silk mix are particularly suitable. This material warms the baby but doesn't make it sweat," says Gohl.
