Spring baby layette:

What do you need to buy?

With the fluctuating temperatures of mid-season, choosing dresses and blankets can seem like a challenge. Here we will reveal everything you need for a perfect newborn layette for spring, practical and complete with everything you need.

January, February… your baby is almost here, and he has chosen to be born in the spring. Of course, coming into the world when plants start to sprout is a beautiful image, but you also have to think about practical things, such as how to dress your little one as soon as he is born.

“Will he be too hot/cold? In the mid-season you never know, so we at Nannafrufrù thought we'd give you some advice so you don't make a mistake when it comes to what you need to bring to the hospital (and continue to use it once you get home).

Spring Summer Layette: What's Essential?

Before we begin, we leave you a recommendation: the layette should be purchased a couple of months before the birth. This way you can be more sure about the possible weight and height of the baby. 

You will also most likely know whether it is a boy or a girl, which will make it easier for you to choose between the various shades and patterns.

Here's a rundown of all the useful things to buy:

Cover

Essential both at home and away, the classic cot or stroller blanket will accompany your baby when he goes to sleep. For the mid-season, it is better to choose an organic fabric , not too heavy but able to maintain heat on cooler days.

We offer you our 100% organic cotton blankets or mixed bamboo and cotton Both materials are natural and breathable, perfect for wrapping your baby in a warm embrace. 

The two variants are available in a wide variety of colors and have a soft cable or plain knit texture.

Body

An essential item in the baby's wardrobe during the first months is the bodysuit, to be worn alone when it's warmer, or under the romper. For the spring newborn layette in our shop you can find short-sleeved bamboo bodysuits .

This material is perfect for the delicate skin of newborns, because it is very soft and hypoallergenic. The fiber is also biodegradable and extremely elastic , so as to guarantee an excellent fit.

Muslins

Throughout the first year of your baby's life, we assure you that you will not be able to do without these magical towels, which are excellent for the cot, bath time and a thousand other occasions of use.

On the Nannafrufrù store we offer you baby muslins of different sizes and made of organic materials and certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class . You can opt for cute patterns or a solid color . You'll be spoiled for choice!

In this article we also tell you everything you need to know about baby muslins and their many uses.

Birth hat

Your newborn baby will also need to protect his head and keep it warm. In the spring layette it will therefore be appropriate to also include a soft hat and not too heavy fabric, so as to maintain a constant temperature.

If you are looking for a 100% cotton birth hat, you are in the right place. Our range includes numerous color variations and two different models, with a knot or a cuff, to choose according to your preferences.

Bath towel or bathrobe

There is only one thing missing from your baby's layette: bathing supplies. Here too, the most important thing is to choose towels made of organic and wash-resistant fabric, since you will be changing them frequently.

We offer you both the bath towel and the bathrobe , made of ecological bamboo fibers, excellent for drying children with ease and soft in contact with the skin. You can also take them with you on vacation because they take up little space in your suitcase!

To avoid mistakes

As you have seen, preparing a layette for the spring season is not difficult at all, all it takes is a little organization. However, we know that you may be assailed by thoughts like "Is that all? What if it's not enough?"

Don't worry! We know you'll be tempted to go overboard, but we assure you that there's no need to overdo it at first. It's enough to buy only the essentials you'll need to take care of your newborn during the first few months of life. 

Luckily, hospitals usually give a hand, because they provide a list of things to bring in advance. You can then integrate this with the clothes and accessories that we have just listed based on your needs.

Once your little one is born, you will immediately realize what you need and which items are best to have in larger quantities (usually muslins and bodysuits are never enough!). Furthermore, since you will have to change your baby often, we recommend that you focus above all on natural and resistant fabrics, so that you can use the garments for a long time.
