" The number one item of clothing for the little ones "
They wriggle and wiggle and hold anything but still. While the baby dolls lay there nicely and can be dressed and undressed without resistance during birth preparation courses, the reality shows a different side. Dressing a baby for the first time is anything but easy. Especially in the first few days and weeks, when your little one can't yet hold their head up on their own and still seems so fragile. So it's a good thing that parents today have a fantastic selection of excellent baby clothes. They are not only comfortable to wear. They are also easy to put on. First and foremost the famous baby bodysuit.
What makes this item of clothing so indispensable?
Cuddly soft and comfortable on the skin. This is how a baby bodysuit should feel. After all, it is worn as underwear directly on the baby's delicate skin. The special feature of this item of clothing is that it is worn as a one-piece. This eliminates the need for an undershirt and underpants.

In a baby bodysuit, there are either press studs or classic buttons in the crotch with which the front and back ends can be connected and thus closed. Since diapers sometimes have to be changed every few minutes, you don't have to take your little one off completely every time.
Another advantage is that the neckline has an overlapping cut. This means that the neckline can be opened wide so that it can be gently slipped over your little one's head. Some styles also have button plackets here, so that the neckline is even more generous.

From tiny tots to toddlers. Most manufacturers start with size 104. Last but not least, the garments offer sufficient freedom of movement for the little ones, who simply feel comfortable in them.
How to dress correctly?

Always have all the clothes within easy reach. Because when your little sunshine is lying on the changing unit, you can't let it out of your sight. First open all the press studs. Then lift the baby's head slightly with one hand and slide the garment underneath. Now you can open the neckline wide with your hands and gently push the head through. This is followed by the arms and finally the buttons are fastened at the crotch. Now you can also close the buttons on the neckline.
As soon as the baby bodysuit is on, you can put other clothes over it, depending on the weather and season. Sweater, trousers, skirt or shorts. The only thing missing on the feet are the leather shoes and your little one is fully dressed.
Gentle on baby's skin
Items of clothing that are worn directly on the skin should be selected with particular care. Make sure that the bodysuits are made of cotton and not artificial fibers such as polyester. Your little sunshine's skin is very sensitive and can be prone to allergies. High-quality bodysuits are made from one hundred percent cotton or high-quality natural fibers. Only a small proportion of viscose may be included. These fibers are classified as harmless and do not harm your little one.
Baby clothes made of soft terrycloth are also very popular. Short-sleeved terrycloth bodysuits are particularly popular in the colder months.
Did you know that the wrong detergent or fabric softener can also lead to allergies?
Only use mild detergent and a fabric softener labeled "sensitive" to wash all baby clothes. This does not contain any additional fragrances and is well tolerated by children's sensitive skin.

Despite all the care taken, something can go wrong with a diaper and it may need to be washed sooner than expected.
That's why you should have at least seven to ten baby bodysuits in the wardrobe for the first outfit and of course over the next few months. As a rule, these items of clothing can be washed at higher temperatures. This is the only way to remove residues completely and, above all, hygienically.
A perfect T-shirt replacement in summer!
When the sun is shining and temperatures are rising, babies don't really need a T-shirt any more. Because the fashionable bodysuits don't look like boring underwear at all.
Fashion-conscious moms and dads really like to use these baby clothes as a T-shirt replacement on hot days. Combined with a cute little skirt or smart shorts, the little diaper wearer becomes a mini fashion victim.
Even though there now seem to be lots of bodysuits in every imaginable color and design, models in the classic colors pink and light blue are still in demand. These classics are particularly popular as a nice gift idea. Striped and plain colors are right at the top of the popularity scale.
On particularly hot days, the little ones usually only wear a short-sleeved bodysuit. These lovingly designed one-piece suits look really cute when they have a name or a cute print on them.
