The arrival of a child is always a great joy, whether it is one’s own child, a friend’s child or a grandchild. Among the many questions and anxieties that arise during those nine months of pregnancy, one question does not leave friends and relatives of new parents: what to give the unborn child?
To be on the safe side, we at Fratinardi recommend the new Alviero Martini 1a Classe Junior line: rompers, covers, layettes and much more for the perfect gift!
But that’s not all: if you are new parents grappling with your first layette, don’t miss this article. You’ll find lots of useful ideas, including rompers and accessories, so your baby won’t miss a thing.
Winter layette: cold is a problem… or maybe not!
When a baby is born, especially in late autumn and winter, we tend to think that the baby’s greatest enemy is the cold. This is not exactly so, but for a very simple reason: instinctively, we tend to dress the newborn baby as much as possible so that he or she does not suffer in cold temperatures. This leads the baby to sweat and suffer the heat more than one would think.
To prevent this from happening, checking often whether the baby is sweating is ideal. Do not rely on the temperature of little hands and feet, because their circulatory system does not work like ours, rather, check behind the nape of the neck whether it is cold or warm.
The ideal is to dress the child in onion skin. Using several layers of clothes is ideal for uncovering and covering the baby when necessary, avoiding drastic temperature changes and making him or her suffer from both heat and cold. For example, for a winter’s day prefer a warm cotton sleepsuit, combined with a jumper and a blanket, not forgetting, of course, a hat! This will make it easier to avoid temperature changes.
Preparing the layette
Consequently, if you are preparing your baby’s layette or thinking of giving one to new parents, then don’t forget these tips:
- Prefer thermoregulating fabrics and natural fibres: cotton is your best friend (and all Alviero Martini onesies are created with this material);
- Blankets and caps are a must-have: a bit like platform moccasins this year, only in a baby version;
- Bibs and dresses are never too many.
Having agreed on these simple points, let’s move on:
How to prepare a layette
We have already talked about it in a previous article, but ripetita iuvant (high-level quotes): bibs, bodysuits, hats, blankets and many, many onesies.
Babies get dirty often, so having a few more is always better than a few less. Which then ends up with you parents being ready to leave the house, the baby is in the pram, clean and smelling good… And getting dirty. The onesies are all in the washing machine: what to do? Here comes to the rescue that famous extra onesie you didn’t know whether to buy.
If you’re not the parents? Do mum and dad a favour and buy the Alviero Martini Prima Classe gift boxes: simple and complete with bib, onesie, blanket and cap. What better gift? Not only a nice gift to look at, but also a great one for new mothers and fathers who can’t help but thank you.
And they are also available in three colours:
Borsoni: per il parto e per il cambio
If gift boxes don’t convince you or you are a mother-to-be struggling with the suitcase for childbirth, Alviero Martini 1a Classe comes to your rescue: a duffle bag designed for all needs, from hospital stays to the first outings with baby! Comfortable and roomy, it has lots of pockets so you can put everything in it: nightgowns, mummy’s slippers and sanitary napkins, the baby’s thousands of rompers and nappies, and all those things you might need during those days and even afterwards! In fact, each bag comes with a portable changing mat for outings with the baby.
And if that is not enough for you…
But what if you want more? Well, you should know that Alviero Martini has created a series of rompers, outfits and more designed specifically for your child’s comfort. Quality, warm and comfortable garments for the winter season. Perfect for new parents who choose the best for their children and for anyone looking for the perfect gift!
The Alviero Martini Prima Classe covers, for example, are 95% cotton and 5% elastane, two materials that together give softness and comfort to the baby thanks to the elasticity of elastane and the warmth of cotton:
Or the caps and headbands, to protect their little ears from the cold and wind, made with the same care and materials. They are not only practical but also beautiful!
Then there are the bibs, with adjustable clip fasteners, to accompany the little one as he grows and to prevent his pretty onesies, always by Alviero Martini, from getting dirty.
