Hats, mittens, socks and shoes
- Babies lose a lot of body heat through their heads; a soft, non-scratchy head cover is
essential
- Anything over a baby’s foot should be completely unrestricting, as your baby's
bones are still very soft and malleable. You can buy baby socks and tights, and cot shoes
(soft and flexible) but don’t be tempted to buy proper shoes until your baby is
walking well
- Scratch mittens are useful to protect your newborn from scratching himself with his
sharp little nails. Don’t keep them on too much, as babies need to discover their
hands
