Premature baby rompers
At the birth of a baby, no mom wants to feel unprepared, which is why so many moms buy everything they need even many months before giving birth. You know, what warms our hearts the most is to see those tender little fluffy tiny onesies to realize how small our baby will be.
If you have come across this article, it is probably because your baby boy or girl has been in a hurry to come out and your pregnancy has ended earlier than expected. In fact, in this article we are going to go over all the important aspects of onesies for the premature baby.
Despite what you may think, onesies for premature babies at 8 months are not much different from those for babies born at 40 weeks, but if your newborn was born before the 30th week ended, it is very likely that you will need to buy onesies specifically for babies born before term that have openings for tubes and medical devices.
In this article we will go over the importance of preterm baby onesies by evaluating their specific features, fabrics, sizes, and openings for medical devices, and provide tips for buying, washing, and storing onesies.
Characteristics of rompers for premature infants
The main characteristics of a baby onesie, whether it is for a premature infant or an infant born after 38 weeks is that they should be made of natural, soft, and breathable fabrics so as to avoid skin irritation and regulate the infant's body temperature. The main difference from other onesies is the size; usually, size 0/3 onesies are 51/54 cm long; onesies for premature infants, on the other hand, will need to be smaller so that the infant is wrapped well and does not "dance" in them. In addition to the fact that the newborn loves to be "wrapped" in fabric and swaddling, the risk of oversized onesies is that too much fabric may cover his face and restrict breathing. That is why when you are looking for preterm baby onesies nothing should be left to chance.
If your baby was born just under eight months, you will only need to buy size 0, which usually corresponds to a length of 48/50 cm. This type of onesie for premature newborn, is also readily available on our website (see here: Baby rompers and outfits size zero) and in most baby clothing stores. If your baby, on the other hand, was born before you have completed the seventh month of gestation, it is very likely that you will need to store in stores that specialize in premature baby onesies; this type of premature baby onesie should have openings for tubes and medical devices, so as to facilitate access by health care personnel for necessary medical care and procedures.
Premature infant onesies offer several benefits for the infant and parents. First, they provide comfort to the newborn by wrapping him or her in a soft, warm fabric similar to the uterine environment; in addition, openings for tubes and medical devices make it easier for health care personnel to access and handle medical devices without having to remove the entire onesie.
In cases where the infant is born in the sixth or seventh month, when choosing onesies
it is important to consider the specific needs of the premature infant, such as weight, length, and head circumference, and buy from stores specializing in products for premature infants, which offer a wide selection of clothes designed specifically for premature infants. Finally, pay attention to fabrics and size, making sure they are soft and comfortable, but also snug enough against the infant's body to ensure safety.
Premature Infant Clothing
In addition to the onesie, you will also need to purchase other items, such as premature newborn bodysuits, pajamas, and a bonnet to protect the fontanelle that will most likely not have fully closed yet. Also for these other garments, if your baby was born from 36 to 39 weeks, you will have no difficulty finding premature baby clothing in traditional stores and also from our shop; however, if your baby was born before 36 weeks, you will have to go to a store that specializes in premature baby clothing. Very important to promote its development and well-being is to buy high quality onesies, which guarantee comfort and safety for the premature baby, preferring Made in Italy production.
How to wash and store premature baby onesies
Premature baby rompers should be washed with mild detergents and at low temperature to avoid irritating the baby's delicate skin. In addition, it is important to store the onesies in clean, dry rooms away from sources of heat or moisture that could damage them.
