Do you need premature baby clothes for your early arrival? Regular newborn baby clothing sizes can be just that bit too big as they start from 0 months in size. For some people having to buy premature baby clothes is a very stressful experience as they are using most of their energy worrying about their early baby. There may be associated problems and health worries and looking for clothes is bottom of the list of worries. That’s why shopping on line can be a big help. You don’t have to leave the house and wander round the shops, you can literally shop from your home.
For others finding premature baby clothes is going to be more of a pleasure if your baby is well but just a little bit too small for regular newborn baby clothes. You can get equally gorgeous premature baby outfits in a range of designs and colours by many brands. You can also get special neo-natal ranges for babies in neo-natal units or intensive care units, specially designed so that it is easy to dress very small babies who might be in an incubator or connected to medical equipment.
Premature baby clothes are usually based on weight, not age, such as Size 00 is up to 1lb (0.45kg), Size 0 is up to 1.5lb (0.7kg), Size 1 is 1.5-3.5lb (0.7-1.6kg), Size 2 is 3.5-5.5lb (1.6-2.5kg), Size 3 is 5.5-7.5lb (2.5-3.4kg), etc. Some premature baby clothes are so tiny that they fit dolls and children use them as doll’s clothes.
Just like any size baby clothes premature baby clothes need to be comfortable for the baby on their skin and practical so you can change them easily. Fastenings include press-studs that are easy to open for adult fingers but tiny babies can’t open them and wriggle out or get caught up in any moving fabric. Premature baby clothes generally include babygrows, sleepsuits, bodysuits, hats and mittens. It’s important to keep your baby warm enough and mittens and hats really help. Little mittens can also help prevent little nails scratching or pulling on any tubes or anything important.
There are loads of gorgeous premature baby clothing gift sets and packs of three or more bodysuits or babygrows. The difference between bodysuits, babygrows, sleepsuits and romper suits is that bodysuits generally have holes for little legs to go through; sleepsuits and babygrows have feet; while romper suits have long legs but no feet.
Shawls are another popular gift and really useful item to wrap newborn babies up in. As are little cotton hooded wraps that you can wrap your baby up in straight after a bath to get them dry and warm. You can also get pyjamas, nightgowns, trousers, t-shirts, cardigans and lots of other baby clothes for premature babies.
