Let's look at what things might be in a layette gift basket. Of course, this is clothing. Basic clothes are calico and flannel undershirts and diapers during the first month. In addition, you must purchase at least four sliders (just buy a medium size) and the same flannelette blouses fastened at the buttons in the front, or the body shirt. Do not skimp on these layette things, they are very comfortable. The infant wants to move hands freely and the body is the most needed clothes. So you can put in a gift basket the good cotton jersey body, a few blouses and a pair of diapers (they will never be superfluous). Also, you need to buy a pair of bonnets first and a pair of third dimension. As well as a complete set made of wool for walking: jacket, hat, pants, socks and mittens. Buying clothes for your gift, you should know a few rules. Clothing for newborns child should be made of natural, soft tissue, to avoid skin irritation of infant. Natural cotton is considered optimum, leather breathes in it. Clothes made of knitted jersey are very comfortable for a newborn because this material has the property of stretch, but it keeps the shape. The clothing should be easy to fasten and unfasten in order to not disturb the baby with shift of clothes (you will have to do it many times). Clothes with shoulder and front zippers are more comfortable, because the child usually lies on his back. Buttons on the legs of the overalls can help to change a diaper, do not undress completely newborn baby. Until the baby learns to hold the head up (up to 3 months.), it is better to use clothing with well-stretched neck. It is also important the clothes must be easy to clean, high-quality, durable and does not fade when washing. It is better to cut labels closed to the body; they may irritate baby's skin.
Also you can put one soft towel in the layette set. It should also be made of natural fabrics such as cotton. Do not forget the soft, safe environmentally toys and those necessary little things, like baby cream or oil.
