If the pregnancy is the first, then there is a lot to learn, to figure it out, there will be many questions about raising a baby, and this is not surprising, because before you is your long-awaited child who really needs your care.

Baby Sizes

Everyone knows that all babies are born with different weights and heights, some can be very small (with a weight of 2 kg and a height of 48-50 cm), while others are strong (from 4 kg and 55 cm). Therefore, before buying clothes for babies, the expectant mother needs to figure out for herself what children's sizes of newborns exist. When buying things, you need to pay attention to the fact that they do not embarrass your baby. You don’t need to buy a lot of clothes of the same size, because the size of a newborn changes quickly, before you have time to put on one set, the second one will already become small. It also happens that a child was born with a low weight, but a large growth, or vice versa, so the clothes for each baby are selected individually. For general information:when buying clothes for babies, you need to pay attention not only to height and weight, but also to such parameters as the volume of the head in order to choose a bonnet or hat, the circumference of the hips, abdomen and chest.

Baby clothes

Today, most mothers prefer foreign manufacturers. Sizes of children's clothing of foreign manufacturers can be found in the table.

Age	Height	Weight	Size
0-3mths	55-64cm	3, 5-5, 4kg	0/3
3-6 months	64-68cm	5, 4-7, 0kg	3/6
6-9 months	68-72cm	7, 0-8, 6kg	3/9
9-12mths	72-74cm	8, 6-10, 4kg	S

You can consider the size of a newborn by months using the following grid. It is considered the simplest and easiest to remember - every 3 months you need to add 6 cm to the previous clothing size:

- baby size from 1 to 3 months is 56cm;

- from 3 months to 6 months - 62 cm;

- from six months to 9 months - 68 cm;

- from 9 months to a year - 74 cm;

- from year to 1, 5 years - 80 cm;

- from 1.5 to 2 years - 86 cm.

As we have already figured out above, the sizes of newborn babies differ from each other. So clothes for babies are different, depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, every mothermust know the size of her baby, so as not to get confused by the unfamiliar numbers on the labels.

How to choose a hat or cap for a child

Hats, bonnets are one of the necessary things in a baby's wardrobe. When choosing a headgear, you need to know the circumference of the newborn's head. The first time you learn this indicator in the hospital. At birth, the neonatologist will take a measurement, as this is one of the important characteristics of the development of the newborn.

Consider the size of the baby's head:

- at birth - about 35 cm;

- at the age of 3 months - 40 cm;

- at 6 months - 44 cm;

- at 9 months - 46 cm;

- at 12 months - 47 cm;

- at 1.5 years old - 48 cm.

Now, knowing the circumference of your baby's head, you can easily pick up a hat for him. When choosing clothes and a bonnet, it is best to pay attention to models made from natural fabrics so that the seams are on the outside of the product, since the skin of a newborn is still very delicate, and irritation can be provoked very easily. The most important thing is that the baby's clothes are comfortable, practical and do not bring any discomfort.

The need for a crib for a newborn

A baby crib is one of the most important purchases for a new family member. The child must sleep separately. The choice of a crib should be carried out very carefully, because it is in it that your baby will spend most of his time. In it you can eat from a bottle, play with hangingtoys, not just sleep. A crib should be of high quality, completely safe, and most importantly - comfortable not only for the baby, but also for you. It should be in harmony with the existing interior. At birth, the sizes of newborns, as we have already found out, are individual. In this regard, it is better to select a crib individually.

Today, the choice of cribs is very large, although a few years ago there were problems with this, they were produced as standard. Only on order, for a certain fee, it was possible to make a suitable and individual crib, and this, accordingly, entailed additional cash costs. To pick up a crib, there is no need to run around the shops. Online shopping has become so popular now that parents only need to spend time choosing a model at the computer.

Baby cots are available for both newborns and older children. In Russia, there is a general standard for a crib. In accordance with it, its dimensions are 120 x 60 centimeters, and taking into account the thickness of the lamellas, the dimensions increase to 128 x 68 centimeters. Given the size of a newborn, these beds are suitable for both infants and older children, that is, up to 4 years old.

European standards are 125 x 65 centimeters, although the age range does not change. In stores, you can most often find Greek, Italian, German products.

Cribs for the little ones

The size of newborn babies is so small that various miniature cradles are used as beds for them. They are mainly used before the baby is half a year old. The size of a regular carrycot is about 97 x 55 centimeters, and its height depends on the specific model. If the height of the bed of an ordinary baby crib is adjusted by lowering and raising the bottom (in the range from 40 to 80 centimeters), then the cradles can be used both on the floor and set to any convenient height. A distinctive feature of the cradles is that they are made in the form of a solid bowl, upholstered in soft fabric.
