How To Choose Newborn Beanies

By Ida Dorsey


When mothers choose clothing for their newly born babies, comfort is one of their primary concerns. Newborn beanies are one of the items that provide extra protection and warmth for a sensitive tiny head. Many of the items available from baby boutiques, stores and online retailers today offer softness and warmth but are also very visually appealing.

Many mothers choose a beanie made from a natural material because it is soft, warm and keeps the air circulating. The head of a newly born baby is really vulnerable as it loses heat quickly. It still has to learn how to regulate temperature. This is where a beanie becomes invaluable, particularly when it is made from a material with all the right qualities.

The traditional rounded shape, stretchiness and flexibility of a beanie works particularly well in gently hugging a small head. Most of the shapes are basically the same but the difference comes in the colors, patterns and accessories. A knitted beanie with a close knit works well in cold weather and a crocheted one is better for warm weather because its weave is looser. A beanie has the added bonus of protecting the ears and some are even made with a visor for protection from the sun.

These items come in all the colors of the rainbow. A neutral gender color can be chosen or one to suit a boy or a girl. A color can also be selected to go with the type of clothes being worn. Many mothers have a number of these items as they are relatively inexpensive. This allows them to select a number of colors and styles suited to different outfits and occasions.

For special events like a christening or the first photo shoot a really special beanie can be selected. For example, a white one with a huge pink flower will make a baby girl look adorable for her very first photo shoot. Many of the better quality items are hand crafted using age-old techniques. Although the techniques used may have been around for centuries, the styles, patterns, colors and accessories chosen are modern.

When accessories like flowers, ribbons, ears or flaps with tassels are attached, a simple beanie is transformed into a real attention grabber. This can make the first photo shoot something really special. The photographs created can be proudly displayed and of course most new moms will want to post photos on social media sites.

Many online retailers supply these items today. Some products are of a better quality than others and mothers who are looking for top quality items usually go for hand crafted items which are also sold online today. On these sites, prices can be compared and images viewed of babies wearing the items.

Every type of personality and budget is catered for. The range is so vast that bearing certain factors in mind such as climate, gender, material used and size can help to narrow down the choice. Comfort should always come ahead of appearance and it is no use buying something that looks beautiful but is impractical and uncomfortable for the baby to wear. That said, there are many items that tick all the boxes and are not only comfortable but great to look at too.
