Baby Clothes For All Seasons

Baby Clothes suiting different weathers is not the real priority in baby showers. What seem more important at a baby shower are duckies, monkeys and theme colors.

But once you get the baby home you realize that the most important thing about baby clothes is how well they protect your baby and how comfortable the baby feels in such baby clothes. Pending on the time of year that your baby is born, and the type of climate you live in, there are a variety of concerns to take into consideration for your baby's very sensitive nature.

For summer born babies, or babies in warm climates, overheating is not the single most important concern. There are other factors that need to be taken into consideration. A baby's skin is incredibly sensitive to light, especially with the increasingly less protective o-zone layer.

Sunscreen is not the only necessity for baby's sensitive skin. Keeping
a towel or blanket over the baby's carriage or bassinet during summer
play is a great way to keep the sun from harming your baby. Umbrellas
and pop up tents are also great for beach days. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation but little to no sun-that way your baby won't get sunburned or have to squint at the bright sun rays.

For daily summer wear buy cool and comfortable cottons. The fabric should be able to breathe and air should freely circulate to dry the sweat and keep the body dry. Onesies that are made of a lightweight cotton are a great alternative to pants and shirts. In addition to being comfortable, they will easily fit in a small bag or purse that you can bring along in extra in case of a spill or accident.

In summer and warm weather you don't need to put any shoes for the baby who is going to be in the stroller. It is just another bonus of your baby being born in the summer and this will keep your shoe costs down. Keeping a blanket in the stroller is important, especially if you're in air-conditioned buildings a lot, since babies are a lot more sensitive to the change in air temperature.

For winter wear, dress babies in layers. It is a good way to combat the
difference between heated buildings and the outside. Avoiding long
stretches of being outside in colder temperatures  is probably a good idea, but for short walks or trips between cars and buildings, warm bundling is vital. If you live in a climate that has a lot of snow, the danger of babies getting sun burnt is even more a possibility than in the summer, since it attacks from all angles. Warm socks, mittens, and hats will do a good deal to keep most of the baby's body heat in. Buntings that button down the front are a great way to let the baby escape from the heat a little bit when you are inside without too much effort for you or discomfort for the baby.

Layers of baby clothes work in almost every weather. As any person living in a place with rapidly changing temperatures will tell you, the ability to put on a layer or take it off is the key to combating shifting climates. This is particularly important for your baby, who is much more sensitive than you to slight changes in temperature or outside conditions. So keeping an extra sweater around, or putting an onesie underneath warmer clothing is a great way to prepare for any change in weather you're your place is experiencing at that moment.
