Bodysuits made of cotton

Shop multiple bodysuits with short and long sleeves. Long sleeves in summer? Yes! Newborn babies have difficulties with their temperature, so it is important to have both when your baby is too cold. Choose bodysuits made of natural materials like cotton. Cotton feels very soft and comfortable on the skin of your newborn. Besides, a wrap bodysuit is very easy to dress your newborn baby. In addition, there are extra pleats at the bottom for more space for the (full) nappy. So get those bodysuits!

Swaddle blankets and clips

Swaddle blankets are perfect for summer. Not only because they are absorbent, soft, and breathable. Also, you can use them in so many ways. Did you just bathe your baby? Even if it is summer, your baby gets cold easily, so immediately put a soft muslin swaddle around your baby. This swaddle is absorbing, allowing your baby to dry fast, and doesn’t get too cold.
