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

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…

Corredino Maglificio di Verona

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.

And Nanan, with its cute prints!

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.
