One of the most frequent topics in conversations between expectant mothers undoubtedly concerns clothing for the newborn. A myriad of questions come to mind: what will be the right size? What kind of clothing to buy? How many pieces for each garment?
Generally, future grandmothers take care of clarifying these doubts. Their role is extremely important when it comes to buying clothes and accessories for the new born, without forgetting, of course, also the future father.
If the baby is of medium height, size 50 will fit perfectly. But it will grow quickly, and therefore the ideal is to buy garments that include sizes from 0 to 3 months.
In this regard, we share with you a list with the type and quantity of clothing for the newborn that you can already start buying. They are all essential elements for the first days of your baby's life.
Clothing for the newborn: the essential items
Most mothers-to-be start shopping even before they know their baby's gender. Some decide not to know the baby's sex until the moment of birth. The important thing, however, is to buy what is needed, regardless of the color.
Baby bodysuit
Cotton baby bodysuits are a great buy. They allow us to comfortably change the diaper, without the need to completely undress the baby. In addition, thanks to the buttoning at the bottom, the garment does not move, so it is easier to manage the baby without having to undress or tidy it up on every occasion.
In hot weather, it can be used as a top paired with soft fabric trousers. While when it's cold, it can be used as underwear under other garments.
In addition, it is an extremely functional garment, since the closure at the bottom helps to hold the diaper, preventing leaks.
This type of shirt also has an adjustable neck opening, in order to facilitate the dressing of the child. Furthermore, it is available in different models: long and short sleeves, sleeveless, patterned or solid color. An original idea is to have them personalized with unique phrases or decorations.
The recommended purchase quantity is 12 units.
Trousers
Buying pants is a little easier. They generally have clips at the bottom and an elastic waistband to make diaper changing easier. It is best to opt for a soft fabric so that the baby can move easily and to avoid irritation.
Long, thick fabric trousers are a great choice for cold climates, while light trousers or shorts are preferred for warmer climates.
The recommended purchase quantity is 10 units.
Pajamas
Choosing your nightwear is a rather simple task. The most used pajamas are those that also cover the feet. In this way, the baby will be protected from sudden changes in temperature.
The ones with the clip at the bottom are very useful, as they make it easier to change the diaper. In addition, we find pajamas made with different fabrics: cotton, fabric, flannel and wool. You will buy the one most appropriate to the climate in which you live.
We recommend purchasing 10 units.

Clothing for the newborn: caps
Hats are garments that cannot be missing in the collection of newborns. They are essential to protect your baby's head from the cold. Keeping their head warm is extremely important, as it is the part of the body that dissipates the most heat.
The recommended purchase quantity is 3 units.
Gloves
Gloves are very important, as babies need to keep their hands warm after birth. They are also useful to avoid scratching your face or putting your hands in your mouth.
Choosing gloves with adjustable cuffs will be best, so they won't lose them too easily.
You can buy between 2 and 3 pairs.
Socks
Like gloves, socks are also useful for maintaining the right body temperature of the child. Once it leaves its mother's womb, the baby is exposed to sudden changes in temperature to which it was not used.
In addition, they also serve to prevent them from getting hurt with their toenails.
You can buy about 10 pairs.
Baby clothing: other essentials
Disposable diapers
The size of disposable nappies depends on the constitution of the child. Therefore, it is convenient to buy 20 units of “newborn” size, which you will only use in the first week.
Blankets and sheets
Blankets and sheets should never be missing, both to cover the cot mattress and to wrap the baby when you go out for a walk.
Since it is quite common for them to get dirty or damaged, the recommended amount is 5 units.
Baby clothes: towels
Towels designed for children are much softer and fluffier than those for adults. They also usually have a hood to cover the baby's head once the bath is finished. It is advisable to buy 3 units.
Remember
This baby clothing list is just a rough guide. What you may need can vary for several reasons, as every situation is different. The ideal is to choose and evaluate between various alternatives, but without haste. You just have to go around the shops and choose the outfits you like best.
We understand that the little one can’t speak and we as the makers of clothes do not want to give even a second’s comfort.
