Winter romper for newborns

With the birth of a long-awaited child, the question arises: what is the best way to dress the baby for a walk in the cold season. Such a comfortable thing as a winter jumpsuit is endowed with the best qualities of an envelope for newborns, but at the same time it is a complete garment. The choice of this product must be approached with the utmost responsibility, because the comfort and health of the baby depends on it.

The advantage of a winter overalls is that it does not need to be adjusted on the child all the time and worried about being blown out by the wind. It is easy for a mother to put it on a newborn, and this is an important point, since babies are capricious during long gatherings for a walk. But note that this thing is ideal only for a certain age period: when the baby begins to potty practice, you should switch to separate clothes.

Consider the main types of winter overalls for newborns:

• Jumpsuit bag. The top of the product looks like an ordinary children's jacket, and the bottom resembles a spacious insulated bag. The advantage of this garment 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 one piece)
• Transformer - combines the first two options: the bag is divided into two legs, if necessary, with the help of zippers, while its length slightly increases.

In winter, the weather is not always the same, so overalls can be divided according to their heat resistance:

• Actually winter - with a thick sewn-in lining made of sheepskin or down, which 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, which has the ability to pass air. If the baby was born at the end of winter, then it is quite possible to get by with this option.
• Universal - with modern insulation, which will not freeze in frost and protect the child from overheating during the thaw. Such a product often has a detachable lining.

Separately, mention should be made of warm winter envelopes for the discharge of a child from a maternity hospital. If in the old days an ordinary warm blanket was used for this purpose, then modern envelopes for newborns look like sleeping bags with a hood with many fasteners. Such an envelope can be unbuttoned without any problems and turns into a warm blanket. There are also winter envelopes-overalls - with sleeves that do not restrict the movements of the baby's arms.

When choosing a winter overalls for a newborn, pay attention to the materialfrom which the thing is made. After all, the convenience of the baby depends on it. In addition, problems with the washing of the product are undesirable. Is always study the label carefully. As for the upper, it is usually made of polyester, a modern synthetic material. It is durable, practical, not blown out and does not retain moisture.

The composition of the insulation is no less important. Their assortment is quite large: sheepskin, down, artificial fur, synthetic fillers (from outdated padding polyester to innovative technological materials).

• Sheepskin will warm the baby in any frost. However, thermoregulation in a newborn is still imperfect, and in such clothes he can easily overheat, which is dangerous.
• Natural fluff retains warmth and protects from moisture, however, in many children it causes allergies, and besides, it is not too easy to care for (it can fall off from machine wash, dries for a long time).
• Holofiber (a kind of polyester, the fibers are like springs) Non-allergenic, very lightweight, keeps warm well, does not absorb moisture, and is easy to wash.
• Thinsulate - does not lose its thermal insulating properties even with significant wetting.
• Sintepon - soft and resilient synthetic fiber. Such products attract with their low price, however, they do not withstand severe frosts (they are suitable only for a warm winter), in addition, they do not allow air to pass through well, which is unacceptable for babies.

Traditionally, when choosing the color of the overalls, parents are guided by the gender of the child: blue and blue models are bought for newborn boys, respectively, pink - for girls. Clothes can also have a neutral shade that will suit a baby of any gender: white, beige, light green. Overalls combined in color are often found; they can be decorated with a discreet print.

Russian options are traditionally in demand due to their affordable prices. For example, our domestic brand I love mum is engaged in sewing clothes for pregnant women, as well as children of various ages. Product design is developed by young designers from Russia in collaboration with Italian colleagues. Multilevel control is aimed at using the best raw materials and innovative technologies for the production and packaging of goods.

Another domestic enterprise KIKO develops models of overalls for babies, comfortable to wear and as simple as possible in the process of dressing.Note that the products are manufactured in China, but 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 overalls with catchy stylish design and good quality.

The models of overalls for babies produced in countries with the same cold winters as ours, for example, in Finland, are of decent quality. So, the brand Kerry known for its high level of quality and durability. Of course, due to the rather high price of children's overalls, not all families can afford them. However, it is possible to purchase a model from the previous collection with a certain discount on sales.

Another well-established Finnish brand is Reima... Children's clothing from this company is resistant to precipitation and can be used even in severe frosts. Overalls are often equipped with a detachable insulation, which makes the products demi-season.

Manufacturing firm Huppa (also Finland) focuses on three main sectors: especially durable clothes for active children, classic everyday wear (economical option) and tech - products made from ultramodern membrane materials.

The products of Polish manufacturers also deserve attention. For example, brand Pilguni produces high-quality transformer overalls on sheepskin with removable insulation. The outer material of the product has a special moisture-resistant impregnation.

Italian brand Chicco manufactures overalls for newborns with insulation from eider down, as well as from a modern thin material - thermo (for walks in severe frost - 15 º). The tops of these items are usually made of practical nylon or microfiber: they are durable, do not absorb dirt and are easy to wash.

When choosing a winter overalls for a baby, pay special attention to the neck of the product, as well as to the sleeves and legs. The collar should reliably cover the baby's neck, without propping up the chin. Sleeve cuffs should not be too tight. It is advisable to find a model with elastic bands or fasteners for gloves, then they will always be at hand. The legs can also be fitted with comfortable elastic bands that are attached to the shoes.

Remember the hood: too small will not fit on a hat, and too large will fall off the head of the child. Be sure to check the presence of a drawstring to adjust the volume of the hood.

Since the Soviet deficit in our country there is a tradition of buying clothes for children to grow. But a newborn will not be comfortable in such a jumpsuit: too big a thing will be worse at keeping warm. In addition, it is impossible to predict how the child will grow: after all, someone's legs grow faster at first, and then arms, and vice versa. The best solution in this case is to buy a product that has a stock of 1-2 sizes, especially if the baby was born at the beginning of winter.

Choose a winter overalls model based on your means. A branded model made of modern materials with innovative insulation will cost several times more than a simple version on a padding polyester. If you are on a tight budget, opt for a domestic manufacturer or track sales from foreign brands.

Judging by the feedback from the parents, the Finnish winter overalls mentioned above have really excellent quality. (Kerry, Reima). Children wear them even in a twenty-degree frost, while under their outerwear they wear only a thin blouse. Also, young mothers are pleased that these products are very soft and pleasant from the inside. A minor disadvantage of overalls from Finland, in their opinion, is a small range of colors.

Comfortable and Polish products with Pilgunu sheepskin.Mothers are pleased with the quality of the tailoring and the fact that the removable lining makes the jumpsuit versatile - you can use it in autumn, winter and spring.

The so-called overalls-bags have a lot of positive reviews. They are convenient for transporting children in the car: they have slots for belts, such as the model from Huppa. However, a similar model from the British brand Mothercare has a certain drawback: the bottom of the bag is fastened with buttons, and if you take the baby in your arms, then cold can penetrate into the legs.
