It's time to show off in a knitted blouse and booties associated with love grandmother. After turning on heating, most likely, you will only wear them on the street.

Do I need to wear shoes at home?

Shoes performs several functions:

warming
protection against damage
treatment/prevention of foot disorders

If you think about shoes, worrying that the legs of your child are freezing at home, knitted booties, warm socks or fabric slippers will be a great option
As for the second function, at home it is hardly about protecting the legs from damage
Regarding the treatment, everything seems to be understandable: there are problems with the feet, the doctor diagnoses and prescribes special shoes to solve it. There is no doubt or not, does not arise. The situation is more difficult with prevention, here the opinions of orthopedists vary

Some doctors advise wearing sandals in order to prevent flat feet, as soon as the child begins to get up and take the first steps. Others complain that the shoes do not allow the muscles of the foot to develop naturally, makes it “lazy”. To which side to cling to this is the problem of responsible parents.

It seems reasonable to consult with an orthopedist who will examine your individual child. If the doctor notes the presence of problems or a tendency to their occurrence and recommends to put on shoes even at home, it should obviously listen.

How to choose the first sandals to a child, you can find out in the article How to choose the right first shoes for a child? Shoe size table for kids

If the child is absolutely healthy, and there are no violations in the development of the foot, it makes sense to turn to the natural state of the foot and let the leg run barefoot at home. This can also become the basis for hardening the child
In the part of socks and soft slippers, it should be noted their unsafe in the period when the child learns to walk. On the slippery surface of the floor, the child risks often falling, which means that the desire to learn can hold back
On the contrary, barefoot, the baby will feel the surface, and, therefore, will be more confident, taking the first step. If the temperature in the room does not allow even for some time with bare feet, socks with an anti -slip surface can become an alternative

Do the child need to wear a hat at home?

It is believed that the first head is the first to freeze. She seems to young mothers, and more often to grandmothers, the most vulnerable part of the body, on which, in addition, ears are especially prone to sick. Therefore, the desire to wrap a small head in a cap or hat is very large.

In order not to achieve the opposite effect, focus on the following recommendation.
If in the apartment - not lower than 22 ° C, you should not wear a hat on a baby, with the exception of some time after bathing, about which is below.

How to wear a child after swimming?

Immediately after the adoption of water procedures, the baby should be wrapped with a towel. Convenient are special children's towels with hoods. After the child warms up, and you will get through all the moisture with a towel, the baby can be changed
As a rule, children are bathed before bedtime, so they dress pajamas. Particular requirements for clothing after swimming, perhaps, does not exist
Separately, you should mention the cap. In the first months, wearing a baby for 20-30 minutes after swimming will not be superfluous. This time will be enough to dry the ears, as well as the hairs, which in some children can have long enough from birth
More adult babies (over 3 months) will be well dried with a towel.

How to wear a child at night?

Choosing a child to get clothes for night sleep, you should first answer the following questions:

Do you practice a joint sleep, or is the child sleeping in a separate crib?
If the child sleeps with you in the same bed, you warm him with the warmth of his body, so so that the baby does not sweat, put it easily (body/hand)
Do you have the habit of sleeping with an open window?
If you are used to sleeping with an open window, you can also accustom a child to this useful cause. You can start with a good ventilation of the baby’s room before bedtime (optimal so that the temperature is not higher than 22 ° C). Naturally, if you practice a dream with an open window, do not forget to wear a child warmer (pajamas with closed legs and handles)

In addition, remember:

In a dream, children often drop the blanket, and freezing, they cannot hide on their own. If the child sleeps separately, classic pajamas - this is a slip or separate blouse with pants. At an average room temperature (22-23 ° C) in such a pajama, the baby will not freeze

Clothing should be comfortable for long sleep without awakening. Children's clothing for any cases should meet the requirements of comfort, but at night the child is in one position for a long time, so it is important that pajama does not rub, does not squeeze and pass the air well

Given these factors, you can opt for:

pajamas in the form
or short -sleeved body/T -shirt

How to wear a child in kindergarten?

If the child is 4-6 years old, he is already relatively independent, and the choice of clothing is determined only by the air temperature in the group and your imagination.
Situations when the baby goes to kindergarten in 2-3 years old, require more careful preparation for the choice of clothes.

The baby will have to deal with dressing several times a day. It is not reasonable to count on a teacher or a nanny. Try to help your child, choosing a convenient wardrobe with which he can cope on his own.

Basic principles:

Things should first of all satisfy the criteria of maximum lightness and ease of putting on a child, even if you have to sacrifice aesthetic type of clothing
Choose Velcro shoes. With laces, lightning, ties and fasteners, while still time
T -shirts, sweaters should be with a deep neckline, without buttons, buttons and ties in the back
It is better to buy pants (shorts) on an elastic band, and not with buttons and lightning
Be sure to prepare a child in a kindergarten. Even if your baby goes well on the pot, he can bow clothes when he eats. And you never know what can happen to the child
Do not forget that children in kindergarten learn to draw, sculpt, eat on their own, walk in the sandbox, etc. Therefore, do not decorate the child. Turn down to the fact that clothing can be torn, hopelessly stained and unsuitable for further wear. Choose simple and inexpensive things, but in large numbers

As a rule, the group is always very warm, so the basic set of clothing may look as follows:

panties+T -shirt
t-shirt
pants +socks
or skirt + tights (golfs)

Just in case, in the cabinet, let it be: replaced underwear, T -shirt, warm sweater, socks/tights, pants/skirt.

Summing up, I would like to note that you should not be afraid to make mistakes, and get hung up on whether you have a children's wardrobe correct. Focus only on your child. At first, you will have to often check whether it is cold or hot, but over time you will already clearly know what and when it is better to put on the baby. Do not forget that preferences in clothes will soon be shown by the child himself.
