Select The Right Newborn Beanies

By Ida Dorsey


Before the birth of a baby, a mother will put much thought into the clothing it will need. A beanie is one of the items that needs to be bought as the head of a newly born baby is particularly vulnerable. Newborn beanies must be as soft and comfortable as possible and fortunately there are many such items available today from baby stores and online retailers that are not only soft and warm but really attractive too.

The softest of materials are used in creating these items. A natural material is usually better than a synthetic one because it is softer and keeps the head warm but still allows air to circulate. For the first years of life, a baby can become too cold or too hot very easily as proper temperature regulation still has to be developed. Newborns are especially capable of losing heat quickly from the head, making it even more necessary for them to be protected.

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.

A beanie may be chosen specially for an occasion like the first photo shoot or a christening. For this type of occasion mothers have some really unique options to choose from. The best quality ones are usually hand crafted. Great attention is paid to every detail and colors and accessories are carefully selected.

The basic shape of most beanies is the same but the differences come in with the colors and accessories chosen. A pristine white beanie with a huge pink flower turns that first photo shoot for a tiny girl into something unique. Many mothers belong to social media sites and want to be really proud of the first photographs they post of their newborn infant.

When shopping online for such items, shoppers are exposed to a wide range of items and can easily compare prices and styles. Images of babies wearing the items are available so mothers can imagine exactly what their baby would look like. They can choose according to the budget they have available and the style they think would best suit the personality of their baby.

These items come in a variety of shapes, styles, and colors to fit every parent and baby personality. Parents must consider the size of the baby, gender, climate, and the material used when making a purchase. A whimsical animal ear beanie or a crocheted vintage looking one with a beautiful flower not only protects the sensitive scalp from the sun and provides warmth but looks beautiful at the same time.
