Putting together a newborn's first layette is a huge challenge for parents, especially first-time parents. It's much harder to decide which purchases will be useful and which might be unnecessary. Among the essential layette items, not just in the fall and winter, should be a newborn hat. What should you consider when buying one? What to look for? At our Kokosek store, you'll find a wide selection of top-quality hats for children of all ages.
Does a newborn need a hat?
A newborn hat is one of the first items of clothing a baby wears. After all, they live in warm amniotic fluid for a full nine months, so their first contact with a much colder world is quite a thermal shock. A thin, cotton hat (preferably Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified) is also useful after bathing. According to the latest recommendations, newborns should not be bathed too often, as this damages their delicate skin barrier. Furthermore, this type of hat can also be successfully used during spring walks.
Our offer includes a wide selection of the highest quality hats, including:
- cotton bonnet - charming patterns and top-quality organic cotton from Konges Sloejd. Suitable from the very first days of your baby's life. The set also includes a wrap bodysuit, pajama set, and shorts in the same design.
- A delicate hat made of a silk and cashmere blend – Oeko-Tex certified. It consists of 85% silk and 15% cashmere – a perfect, soft material that doesn't press against a baby's head.
- A soft hat made of a cotton and silk blend , available in a wide range of colors. Its exceptional elasticity allows the hat to fit snugly around your baby's head.
- a cotton hat for a newborn - tied under the neck, made of organic cotton, fits snugly to the head and covers the ears.
In autumn and winter, when the temperature drops significantly, a newborn hat is indispensable. What should you outfit your little one with then? Ideally, warm models, such as merino wool, tied at the neck, or cozy bonnets. It's impossible not to mention the iconic Mille Baby line . This brand's hats are made of merino wool (designed and made in Poland), distinguished by their exceptional softness and thermal properties. They can be worn year-round. These hypoallergenic hats are also available in adult versions.
What is the best hat material?
The best hat material for a girl or boy is primarily determined by the season. For spring and summer, we recommend choosing a thin hat – cotton, silk, or cashmere. These materials facilitate thermoregulation and prevent sweating. On colder and very frosty days, hats made of natural alpaca or merino wool are much better. The high-quality, eco-friendly fiber with thermoregulatory properties from which the hat is made will retain heat and protect the child from the cold.
A good-quality hat should be included in every newborn's layette. The head has almost no layer of fat to provide thermal insulation, so it's crucial to protect it during the colder months. In spring and summer, it's worth protecting the delicate scalp of young children from sun exposure, which can cause sunburn. The top-quality materials from which the hats available in our store are made will be an excellent choice for every little one.
