5 must-haves for preparing the perfect layette for your baby

 

There is nothing sweeter for an expectant mother than buying the first baby clothes for the newborn baby: wandering around the shops, choosing the softest and cutest onesies, imagining your baby wearing them… This is where the first doubts arise.

Which material is most suitable? Buttons at the back or at the front? Socks yes or socks no? The questions are potentially endless and getting out of them seems impossible. Or nearly!

That is why we at Fratinardi have decided to help all mothers-to-be (and not only!) in their search for the perfect layette for winter.

Corredino: what is it and what is it for?

Among the most tender things to buy during pregnancy, the layette is usually given as a gift to new parents, but more and more mothers are choosing to buy it themselves.

It includes all the useful items for baby’s hygiene in the first months and the necessary clothes:

  • covers;
  • caps;
  • towels;
  • underwear (T-shirts, bodysuits…);
  • dresses and onesies;
  • bibs;
  • socks;
  • changing mat; dummies; feeding bottles; nappies…

It serves to prepare mum and dad for every eventuality and need of the little one, and don’t worry in case something is missing: you can always buy it later. The important thing is that you have the essential items with you to welcome him into his new home.

And if we at Fratinardi can’t offer you a changing table and dummy, we can certainly help you with the rest!

TIP NUMBER 1: COVER FIRST

A newborn baby cannot tell you if it is cold or hot, you will have to figure that out. How?

One of the most common methods is certainly to touch the nape of the neck and the neck of the baby, if these are too warm or cold, then you will have to cover or uncover the baby accordingly.

The ideal is to use a blanket that can be taken off and put on when needed, preferably made of wool or chenille, or in any case soft fabrics that will not irritate your baby’s skin.

For you, we have selected these from Maglificio di Verona, made of 100% pure virgin Merino wool, which will keep your baby warm in the winter months.

TIP NUMBER 2: JUMPSUITS ARE NEVER ENOUGH!

And no, not because your babies are already fashion addicts, but out of pure practical sense: babies tend to get dirty a lot. They regurgitate, they drool and… well, we won’t go into details. Just know that you will need them so that you are never unprepared!

The real question is: how to choose them? There are many different types: full jumpsuits, separates (jersey and trousers), footless jumpsuits, open at the back, at the front, at the bottom, without a collar, with a collar… We could go on and on!

There is no single criterion for choosing, other than assessing how you are most comfortable when changing and which baby prefers (his cries will let you know, don’t worry). The important thing is to choose warm, natural fabrics, especially if the baby is born in the middle of winter, such as wool and warm cotton.

In our decades of experience, we feel we must recommend these models:

The Maglificio di Verona footless sleepsuit is perfect to combine with birth shoes to keep little feet warm! Both made of virgin wool, they are perfect for tackling the winter cold and giving tenderness to your little bundle of love! We show it to you in cream, but other colours are also available.

The Nanan one-piece onieses, on the other hand, is made of cotton. They are available with or without collar depending on your and your child’s preferences!

For those who prefer the normal jumpsuit, we have selected some garments from Maglificio di Verona, again in virgin wool, to match our birth shoes from the same collection!

TIP NUMBER 3: THE BODYSUIT TO HOLD THE NAPPY IN PLACE

 

Babies move around a lot and their little jerks risk causing the nappy to move! The ideal way to keep him still is to use a bodysuit.

Always made of natural materials, in colder seasons we recommend it in warm cotton and long sleeves, like this one by Kioki.

TIP NUMBER 4: THE BIB

 

An essential element in a newborn’s layette, they serve to prevent stains on their pretty clothes. Indeed, it is likely that the baby will regurgitate milk after eating and so it will be easier and more immediate to clean them and their clothes.

 

For you, we have selected bibs from the Coccodè line, made of cotton with a button fastening.

TIP NUMBER 5: THE CAP

 

To protect the forehead and ears from blows during the winter months, a good hat is without doubt ideal! It does not squeeze the baby’s little head, which is still soft after birth, and keeps it warm during the first outings.

 

Nanan and Maglificio di Verona have created some very cute ones, perfect for the colder seasons.

The guide to choosing baby onesies. Everything is easier with Nanan

If there is something that cannot be missing from a newborn’s wardrobe, it is definitely the onesie.

Whole, two-piece, with or without feet, the fabric you prefer according to the seasons, are all details that should not be underestimated from the very beginning. In fact, even from the first days of birth, it is recommended in the hospital to pack a few onesies for the various changes.

5 features to consider before buying a onesie

A onesie can be the ideal solution for dressing the baby in the first months of life, and choosing the right one may initially seem difficult because various factors need to be taken into account, but following a few details will make it very easy:

  • The season in which the baby is born, best to choose fabrics such as chenille or warm cotton for winter, light cotton for summer;
  • Remember that under the onesie the baby will have to wear a diaper, but buying them in larger sizes may be unnecessary;
  • The baby will grow very fast, so changing the onesie will be increasingly sudden;
  • Closure, the simpler it is the easier it will be for parents to change it;
  • The exact size of the onesie should take into account the baby’s length.

Having listed the important information that should not be forgotten for those who buy a onesie for their baby and for those who have to give it as a gift, we at Fratinardi are ready to advise you on what may be the most suitable brands for those who intend to shop in the newborn field. Fratinardi’s designer newborn clothing and accessories department is well stocked and you will not only find onesies but also everything that completes a layette. Caps, blankets, socks, do not leave these choices to chance but be ready even and especially before the birth.

Nanan, the brand that protects your baby

In this new fall/winter season, one of the brands that is most loved by Fratinardi customers is Nanan. The onesies, as well as the caps or covers, are made completely by hand from fine fabrics that are ideal for the baby’s very delicate and soft skin. Cashmere, wool and cotton are the fabrics that are woven together to make a layette for a little princess or prince ready for bed. The philosophy of the brand is precisely to wrap the baby in a muffled, soft and protected world without “edges.”

The closure of the romper, an aspect not to be underestimated

As mentioned earlier, one of the main features of a romper is definitely the closure. Generally, rompers with snaps or snaps are the most purchased, precisely because of the convenience. Some have buttons on the middle part, some have buttons on the legs, and some close like a wallet. Still, there are the onesies that make life easier for dads and moms, which have an opening in the back so as to facilitate diaper changes without completely undressing the baby. Nanan can satisfy all kinds of preferences because in addition to the baby’s well-being, the garment also wants to facilitate the parent’s action.

Light cotton for summer, wool for winter

Too warm, too uncovered, the first factor to take into account when buying onesies is definitely seasonality. In fact, when shopping or having to provide a gift, the first thing people ask is, “When will she be born?” So we will adjust the clothing of the unborn baby to the temperatures. As well as the choice of half-leg or full-leg or footed onesie. The fabrics used by Nanan and the design that takes care of every detail will allow each baby to live comfortably every season especially the harsher ones. Warm cotton, chenille and wool, these are the filaments from which Nanan rompers, dungarees and all accessories from the new fall/winter 2022-23 collection are made.

For your baby, for a gift for your grandchild or simply to enrich your wardrobe, choose the right brand and before buying rely on professionals who can best advise you. Our personal shopper service will help you in the right purchase even in the newborn field, because Fratinardi accompanies you at every age, even from the first days of life.
