Baby comfort - special attention

It is necessary to carefully consider the choice of hats for the child, a special case - the choice of hats for the newborn. The first hours of life, the first encounter with the environment require the protection of a fragile baby, especially the head. It is through the head in newborns that the greatest heat losses occur, and the thermoregulation of the body is not yet established. Therefore, several caps of cotton are transferred along with diapers and underclothes directly to the delivery room. The cap for the newborn should be soft, not have a seam on the back of the head, the best option is seamless. For cool nights, warmed fleece hats are needed, and for walks outside in the cold season, knitted hats or articles made of fur, padding, etc. will be needed. The size The cap is determined by the circumference of the baby’s head, which is:

35-40 cm for ages 0-3 months;
42-44 cm from 3 to 6 months;
44-46 - from 6 months to 1 year.

For older children

Each child needs a hat that allows them to reliably protect their heads from cold, wind, moisture and at the same time capable of ensuring proper thermoregulation. Baby should feel comfortable, do not feel the heat or cold and enjoy the walk in the fresh air.

For the period of the beginning of autumn or the end of spring, when the air has retained heat, hats with a waterproof bolonyevy top and a lining of soft natural fabric will fit. For the colder time of the year, knitted hats with lining, products made of wool, fleece or velveteen with warming (for example, padding polyester) are recommended. Such products retain heat well. They can be of different shapes, just to tightly cover the ears and forehead, do not move down, and if possible covered the neck of the child from the cold wind.

For winter, choose a baby fur hat. Modern light industry offers products from natural and artificial fur, as well as combined. A variant tested by many generations - a hat. The fur should not be pricked and irritate the delicate skin, and headsets should cover not only the ears, but also the cheeks and chin.

Dress the child according to the weather, i.e. as you dress. For infants, pediatricians propose to pack clothes on the “plus one layer” principle.
