Clothing And Footwear Flashcards
Onesies are good how?
Help keep baby warm as it trapped warmth inside-if baby got cold could wriggle in bed and suffocate
Dungarees bad how
Restrict baby from crawling as it weighs them down and restrict arms
Hats good or bad
Keep baby head warm in winter but don’t protect neck in summer
Underwear
Use underwear that they like because hate wearing it
Shoes
Can harm babies feet as child under 1 doesn’t need shoes and doesn’t walk
Movement can be restricted so can’t move feet and influence foot shape
Hard dole shoes are bad as baby’s feet need to strengthen do they can learn to balance
Leave baby bare foot when staring to walk
Guidelines for footwear
~1cm between big toe and inside of shoe for space to grow and heat
~ dimensions of feet measure eg. Length width and girth
~fit snug around heel l, fasten across instep so doesn’t slide off
~leather shoes help breath
~ shoes too large cause friction and blisters
~ wellies good for outside use but not to be worn all the time and moisture doesn’t escape
