Baby hats & accessories doesn't mean baseball caps or shiny wrist bangles. Instead,
Baby Apparel Accessories means important stuff like
scratch mittens,
infant caps,
baby belly binders, and even
baby boxer shorts and
cloth diapers!
Scratch mittens are soft mittens to cover baby's little fingers and nails. This covering prevents your baby from accidentally scratching with those nails on sensitive skin and causing unintentional discomfort. A bonus is that it helps to keep baby's hands warm if it's a little bit cool!
Another often needed item here, especially in colder weather, would be
infant caps. Some are even paired with booties, but whether with them or without, caps for your baby are important. Babies don't have a whole lot of hair, so they don't have as much insulation to prevent heat from escaping through their scalp. As a result, putting a cap on your baby any time the temperature is brisk becomes an important thing to do.
Baby belly binders aren't something that everyone uses, but they do have a valuable function for anyone who chooses to use them. Namely they help to protect your newborn baby's tender belly button. Plus when it's time for baby to start crawling around, they help to provide an extra buffer against baby's tummy. If you're in a warm climate and it's more comfortable for the little one to wear less, then a
baby belly binder can help to protect the sensitive skin of your baby's belly from accidental fabric friction burns.
Baby's first pair of boxer shorts. What a great way to cover up those plain white diapers! Whereas the previously discussed items are all a single "one size fits all" affair,
baby boxer shorts are available in a variety of sizes.
Cloth diapers are another one of those baby apparel accessory items that not everyone uses, but are indespensible for those who need them. If you've found that the chemical treatments or makeup of regular diapers is causing an allergic skin reaction for your baby, then what you're looking for is a plain
cloth diaper. They're not as airtight as the more mainstream diapers, but that can sometimes be the very point, and they still get the job done! The best ones will be made of 100% cotton, the birdseye fabric woven from heavy, tightly twisted cotton yarns. A prefolded 3-ply center panel is great for added absorbency and quick drying. They're durable, washable & reusable. Check the package that the cloth diapers come in and it will probably have folding instructions on the back if you've never had to do it before.
