Baby girls 0-2 years
What size do newborn girls wear?
Most newborns start in size 50 or 56. The number refers to body length in centimeters, not age. Because babies grow quickly in the first few weeks, you only need a few items in size 50. Buy most of the layette in sizes 56 and 62, so it lasts longer.
When does size 74 fit a girl?
Size 74 typically fits between nine and twelve months. The key factor is the measured body length, which should be around 70 to 74 centimeters. If your child is slim, size 74 will fit longer; for more robust babies, you'll need to move to size 80 sooner. When buying trousers, look for adjustable waistbands to ensure a longer fit.
What clothing is best for newborns?
Comfort and ease of changing are more important than looks. Bodysuits with snap fasteners, soft rompers, trousers with a wide waistband, and tops with a wide neckline are ideal. Look for flat seams and soft cotton, preferably Oeko-Tex certified. Avoid drawstrings, loose ribbons, and stiff appliqués on the back, as your baby will be lying down a lot.
What should be included in a baby girl's layette?
Plan on packing approximately six bodysuits, five to six pairs of pants or rompers, several tops, two pajamas, socks, and a hat. Depending on the season, you might also want to add a jacket or a snowsuit. Baby blankets are also useful; you can use them at home, in the stroller, and when you're out and about.
Which materials are well tolerated by babies?
Soft cotton and organic cotton are breathable and easy to care for. Fine merino wool provides warmth without itching and regulates temperature well. Look for Oeko-Tex certified fabrics and wash everything before wearing it for the first time. Glitter prints and sequins look pretty, but can be itchy and therefore shouldn't be worn directly against the skin.
How do I combine dresses and leggings correctly?
A dress is more comfortable when worn with leggings or a diaper underneath. This prevents chafing while crawling and keeps the legs warm. Choose leggings in a color that matches the dress's pattern for a more understated look. For special occasions, you can find suitable dresses under "Party Dresses ."
How do I wash baby clothes correctly?
Wash baby clothes at 30 to 40 degrees Celsius with a mild, fragrance-free detergent and without fabric softener. Close snaps and turn printed items inside out to help the designs last. Wash woolens on the wool cycle or by hand. Dry clothes flat or air dry to help them retain their shape.
How many pieces do I need per size?
Six bodysuits, six tops, five pairs of pants, and two pajamas are sufficient in most cases. Expect one to two outfit changes per day, and more in the first few weeks. Because sizes change every two to three months, buying in bulk is only worthwhile for basics, not for special items.
What do you give as a gift for the birth of a girl?
Sets in sizes 62 or 68 are practical, as parents usually already own the smallest size. Blankets and first toys are also popular. If you're looking for something lasting, cuddly toys that will last a long time are a good choice. When it comes to clothing, it's always better to go up a size than too small.
How long does shipping take to Switzerland?
