WHICH BODYSUIT SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY BABY?
Bodysuits as baby underwear are so much a part of your baby's everyday life that you might be forgiven for forgetting that bodysuits with poppers were invented by Petit Bateau in the '80s to replace shirts that used to ride up on babies' tummies. In the first few days after coming into the world, newborn babies can't regulate their own temperature, so you need to cover them up well and protect their tummies to keep them comfortable, digesting things properly and sleeping well. Which should you choose for your baby? We support you in choosing the right bodysuits for your child, depending on the season, their age and the materials.
WHAT KIND OF FABRIC?
Bodysuits are an indispensable undergarment for babies. They usually wear them both day and night. That's why their bodysuits need to be made from stretchy, soft fabric that feels pleasant against the skin, so your baby feels comfortable and not irritated by their clothing. Cotton is the usual go-to for this as it's comfy, hard-wearing and high quality. This fabric breathes and has good freedom of movement. You should always avoid synthetic fabrics and instead opt for natural, organic fabrics to prevent allergies and rashes. For this reason, Petit Bateau has a range of bodysuits made from 100% cotton, and even OEKO-TEX certified organic cotton too.
WHAT DESIGN?
Baby clothes usually have long sleeves as newborns don't have the ability to regulate their temperature properly. Long-sleeved bodysuits are therefore essential for every season. It's a timeless option that goes under winter pullovers or T-shirts when the weather is milder. However, sometimes we can end up wrapping up babies too warmly when temperatures rise. When it's hot, short-sleeved or sleeveless bodysuits or ones with straps are recommended.
