Essential basics
Baby bodysuits are among the most important garments in a newborn’s wardrobe. They protect the tummy, keep nappies in place and ensure that your child feels completely comfortable. Thanks to their practical design they don’t ride up and can be easily opened and closed when nappies need changing. They come in many colours and patterns, so you can enjoy new combinations every day and keep daily dressing fun.
Gentle materials
Delicate baby skin needs soft and breathable fabrics. Natural materials such as organic cotton and bamboo fibres are particularly suitable: they are hypoallergenic, regulate temperature and feel pleasant against the skin. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can trap sweat. Envelope necklines and wrap bodysuits make dressing and undressing easier, especially in the early weeks. Bodysuits with soft cuffs don’t dig in and, thanks to elastic fibres, grow a little with your baby.
Fit and safety
A bodysuit should fit snugly without constricting. Make sure it offers enough freedom of movement around the neck and arms and has no irritating seams. Press studs at the crotch make changing nappies easier and prevent the bodysuit from riding up. Avoid drawstrings or other small parts that could pose a safety risk. For nighttime, snug, sleeveless bodysuits are ideal under a sleeping bag because they don’t bunch up.
Layering and seasons
A bodysuit is the ideal base for any outfit and can be supplemented according to the temperature. In summer a short‑sleeved bodysuit is often sufficient, while in winter several layers are useful: a warm onesie or cosy overall can be worn over a long‑sleeved bodysuit. Add soft socks, a hat and, if necessary, leggings to keep your child warm. This flexibility helps you respond quickly to changing weather.
Care and sustainability
Bodysuits need frequent washing, so ease of care is important. Choose models that can be machine‑washed at 40 °C and avoid fabric softener to maintain breathability. Line drying conserves fibres and saves energy. Invest in durable quality and neutral colours so bodysuits can be passed on to siblings or combined with other garments. This contributes to sustainable fashion and prevents unnecessary waste.
Gifts and combinations
A set of various bodysuits is the perfect gift for new parents. Combine short‑ and long‑sleeved bodysuits with matching socks and hats so they are prepared for all seasons. Add a sleeping bag or a soft baby blanket for cosy nights. Bodysuits are wonderfully versatile and form the foundation for countless adorable outfits that will accompany your baby on all its adventures.
