Dowry for the newborn

The birth of a child is always a grandiose event for the whole family. It is absolutely necessary for him,

, but to prepare in advance for all family members who want to participate in the education of a small man. Many things are ready for the birth of a child. Here are a few simple recommendations.

1. Do not rush to buy everything. Perhaps some things you can give relatives or friends who have already outgrown the baby age.

2. Ask relatives or friends to help you with your purchases. They will be only happy. It is always better to give a useful thing than the one that will collect dust on the shelf.

3. Be sure to make a list. However, use it only as a reminder and do not seek to purchase all things at once.

4. When buying clothes, try to choose it 1-2 sizes larger. It does not matter that at first it will sit on your baby a little baggy, but in fact small children grow very fast.

5. Do not forget to take into account the time of year in which your child should be born.

6. Children's wardrobe should be primarily comfortable, and then already fashionable and beautiful. We recommend to give preference to clothes from soft natural fabrics, it does not irritate the skin, it is easy to wash. It is not unimportant that the overalls or panties open the lower part, which is very convenient for changing the diaper.

7. Avoid small details: buttons, decorative stripes, long belts, ribbons.

8. Check for rough joints: they can rub the skin hard.

9. The sliders should always fit exactly in size. If the size is larger, then make sure that there is an elastic fabric on the ankles that can hold the toe in place.

10. Hygienic accessories for the care of baby skin always buy at the pharmacy. Only in this way you can avoid forgery and related troubles.

Preference should be given to means that do not contain alcohol, it dries the skin drastically. If possible, this should be a natural remedy without chemical additives, dyes, fragrances and preservatives. There are whole series of skin care products for a child.

11. Children's furniture and stroller must be safe and practical. The cot needs not too high, made of natural material.
