Frequently asked questions
Why are your Newborn Essentials made in Berlin?
All garments are made with great care in our Berlin workshop. High-quality materials, timeless cuts, and lasting quality ensure that they accompany many wonderful moments and can often be passed on to siblings.
Are Newborn Essentials also a lovely gift idea?
Yes. High-quality bodysuits, snuggly onesies, hats, or muslin cloths are among the most popular gifts for a new baby because they are used every day and stay with families for a long time.
What kind of hat does a newborn need?
For the first few weeks, we recommend a soft baby bonnet that reliably protects the head and ears. In cooler weather, a pull-on hat can later provide additional protection for the neck.
What is the advantage of a loop bodysuit for newborns?
The Loopbody needs no snaps at the crotch and grows with your baby across several sizes. This makes diaper changes easier, and the bodysuit can be worn for considerably longer than many traditional baby bodysuits.
What does a winter baby need?
In winter, the layering principle has proven effective. A breathable base layer, a warming mid-layer, and—for outdoors—a boiled-wool one-piece or boiled-wool jacket keep your baby comfortably warm without overheating.
What should a newborn wear in summer?
On warm days, lightweight, breathable natural materials are ideal. A bodysuit and lightweight trousers are often enough. For cooler evenings or in the shade, a cozy romper can be useful.
What size should I buy for a newborn?
Most babies initially wear size 50 or 56. Since size and weight can vary greatly at birth, many midwives recommend buying only a few items of clothing in each size to start with.
Why are adjustable-size clothes useful?
Especially during the first few months, babies grow particularly quickly. Adjustable clothing often grows with them across several sizes, reducing the need for frequent new purchases. This saves resources and helps protect your wallet.
Which materials are suitable for newborns?
Newborns benefit from soft, breathable natural materials. Organic cotton, cashmere blends, TENCEL™ Modal, and bamboo viscose feel comfortable against the skin and help maintain a balanced body temperature.
How many bodysuits does a newborn need?
Many checklists recommend five to seven bodysuits. However, with grow-with-me bodysuits, you may need fewer, as they fit for much longer and need to be replaced less often.
What clothes does a newborn really need?
For everyday life, a few easy-to-coordinate clothing items are often enough: bodysuits, trousers, a cozy all-in-one, a hat, and, depending on the weather, a warm outer layer. Skin-friendly materials and clothing that is easy to put on and take off are important.
