Tips for Choosing Safe and Comfortable Children’s Clothing
I feel so excited, Mom, when I see the tiny and cute children’s clothes. I want to buy it for my baby and hope it looks even cuter. But don’t rush, ma’am. Clothes that look good are not necessarily suitable for children. It could be that his quality or needs do not match him. That’s why, when you are going to buy clothes for your baby, you should consider carefully first. The following tips can help mothers in choosing children’s clothes.
Choose a Soft Material
Comfortable clothes are made of soft materials. For that, check carefully the material of the children’s clothes that you are going to buy. Make sure the material feels soft when it touches the skin. Materials that feel rough certainly won’t make a child feel comfortable and usually feel hot on the skin, so he doesn’t feel comfortable wearing it.
Check the Stitches
The second tip, check the quality of the stitching of your chosen child’s clothes. Sometimes there are production goods that do not pass quality control from the factory so that there are stitches or other accessories that are lacking. If there are loose stitches, the clothes will look hollow and less suitable for children to wear. So, check every inch of the seam of the clothes that you are going to buy, OK? Don’t miss anything.
Avoid clothes with lots of accessories
Accessories do make children look cute, but if there are too many they don’t look good, right? Mothers may choose children’s clothes that have accessories, but don’t overdo it. Besides being uncomfortable to look at, excessively accessorized clothing can also make children feel disturbed. When washing and ironing it will be very troublesome. You definitely don’t want that to happen, do you?
Not too big and not too small
Mothers usually choose to buy their children’s clothes in a larger size with the reason that they are durable to wear. That reason is not wrong, ma’am, as long as it’s not too big. Just choose one size above the size that fits your child. Oversized clothes can feel loose on the body and look unsightly.
Choosing the size of the clothes should not be too small, ma’am. Clothes that are too small will feel tight on the child’s body so that it can give a feeling of discomfort. If you can’t measure the child’s body directly, you can work around this by bringing samples of clothes that fit on the child’s body from home. That way you will get the right clothing size.
The material is not hot & can absorb sweat
The tropical climate in Indonesia makes the weather tend to feel hot. Considering this, you should choose children’s clothes that are made of materials that are not hot and can absorb sweat. So when the weather is hot, children will not sweat too much and even if they sweat, they can be absorbed properly, causing prickly heat on their skin. Usually clothes that meet these criteria are made from cotton, ma’am.
Adjust to Children’s Needs
Children’s needs also need to be taken into consideration when choosing clothes. For example, a child needs casual clothes for home, so don’t be tempted to buy clothes for traveling. At this age, children grow up very quickly. So you don’t need to buy him too many clothes because if you don’t use them they will pile up in the closet and become redundant.
Easy To Put On And Take Off
Children must also be taught to be able to put on and take off their own clothes. Therefore, choose children’s clothes that are easy for children to put on and take off. Clothing like this will also speed up and make it easier for children when they are getting dressed, going to bathe, or defecating. Clothes that look complicated to wear sometimes do tend to have interesting designs, but if it’s a hassle it’s best to just avoid it, OK?
