The arrival of a new member to the family fills us with a feeling of immense joy, but at the same time, we worry, especially if we are first-time parents, about whether we will be prepared to provide the best care and pampering to our little one . It's important to have everything ready before our little one is born, which makes us wonder what the best clothes will be to dress them in the first weeks of life or what accessories are essential for babies .
We'll talk about the latter today on Doña Carmen's blog. We'll tell you about the essential newborn accessories so you can have everything ready for birth, combating worry and allowing you to breathe easier during the first few weeks of your little one's life.
If we search online, we'll find such a wide variety of products that it's sometimes difficult to distinguish which are the basics we'll need on a daily basis and which, while useful, may not be necessary to ensure the best care for our baby. Below, we offer the essential baby accessories you'll need every day.
Bibs
This will be one of our greatest allies during our child's first years of life. Thanks to this accessory, we can avoid stains on their clothes. It's especially essential during the first months of life, since most babies suffer from reflux or colic that cause them to spit up milk. They can also drool (especially when their first teeth are coming in). Therefore, if we have a bib, we will not only avoid stains on our clothes, but it will also act as a barrier to prevent skin irritation. A word of advice: we should always keep in mind that a baby may need several bibs in a single day. bibs , for this reason it is important to have spares, so that while we wash some we always have one on hand to put on our little one.
In our online store and in our physical stores, you can find beautiful models made of soft terry cloth, like the ones we show you below.
Muslins
We can say that this is one of the great forgotten items when it comes to newborn accessories. However, muslins They are a very versatile product due to all the functions they can perform. Their main purpose is to cradle babies during the first weeks of life to recreate the womb and prevent sudden movements that could cause harm. They are also a perfect option to use as a light blanket during hot weather, to protect from the sun during strollers and even in a pinch we can use them as a bib.
On our website, you'll always find muslin sets with beautiful prints like the ones shown below. Plus, all of them are made with bamboo or cotton fabric to ensure maximum softness and comfort.
Caps
Although it may seem like an unnecessary item, and has traditionally been used to cover irregularities in the skull of newborns, hats They will help us control our little one's body temperature and prevent scalp irritation. For this reason, at Doña Carmen, we recommend purchasing models made of soft, non-irritating materials like cotton . A tip: if you pair the hat with cotton mittens, you can prevent your baby from scratching their face or head with their nails.
If you're looking for a first-time outfit, we recommend checking out our five-piece sets, which include a hat and cotton mittens so your little one won't lack anything from the very first moment.
Lullabies
Like muslins, swaddles They are designed to recreate the womb and provide our little ones with a feeling of warmth and comfort. But unlike muslins, our swaddles have padding on the inside to make them even more comfortable for our little ones. Plus, because babies don't regulate their body temperature as well as adults, this accessory can ensure they'll always be warm and comfortable.
On our website, you can find a wide variety of swaddles and sleeping bags that you can put inside the crib to ensure your little one doesn't uncover themselves and catch a cold during the night. You'll love the colors and prints we've prepared for you this season!
In short, what we can deduce from the essential accessories for our little ones is that they are those that guarantee their safety and comfort above all else. We could also add bottles and pacifiers to this list. With all these accessories, we can ensure that our little one will be happy from the moment they arrive home , thanks to our pampering and the comfort they'll feel in their new environment.
We almost forgot, on our website you can also find the first toys for newborns, such as rag dolls, rattles, and teethers for when their first teeth start coming in. You won't be able to resist buying one; they couldn't be more ideal. Plus, they're all designed to ensure maximum safety for your little ones, ensuring they don't run any risks while playing.
