Tender Loving Care with New Creation

It is also an infant wear and baby beddings licensee for popular brands such as Disney Baby, Disney Princess, Baby Einstein, Classic Pooh, Disney Animals, Finding Nemo, Winnie the Pooh, Cars, Toy Story, Baby Looney Tunes, Snoopy and Fisher Price.

Baby Clothes
How many is Too Many?

Shopping for baby clothes is exciting and most of the time; parents tend to get carried away with buying too many of one thing and too little of another. Especially for the first time parents, knowing which is more important and which must have more in quantity are crucial in baby clothes shopping to keep your pockets intact and your closets uncluttered.

Janis Stone, a textiles and clothing extension specialist of Iowa State University suggests the basic layette that a baby must have, one that is not too many and not too less.

            3 to 6 gowns, kimonos, or one-piece sleepers
            4 to 6 undershirts (cotton knit)
            3 to 6 receiving blankets (flannelette)
            2 to 3 crib sheets
            1 to 2 crib blankets (waffle weave, fleece or quilted)
            1 sweater and cap
            booties or socks
            waterproof pads of assorted size
            3 to 4 dozen diapers and 3 to 6 pairs of waterproof pants (unless using disposables)

Stone also adds, “hooded baby bath towels (two or three) and special washcloths, a sleeping bag or bunting for outings, and bibs are optional items.” These are quite helpful in some cases but not really a necessity.

“Even if you plan to use disposable diapers, some flat cloth diapers are handy to use folded as protection for your shoulder while burping your baby or for placing under baby when he or she is not in a bassinet or crib,” she adds.

For a simply well-designed baby’s basic layette, Hello Dolly Classic White has a variety of styles and designs that may suit your baby’s needs. Using a high quality fabric that undergoes intensive quality control and designs from the experts in infant wear development, Hello Dolly is an ideal companion on the first stages of their lives.

Crib Essentials
Baby Beddings Shopping Guide

After birth, babies spend most of their time in their crib; it becomes their second home at the early stages of their lives. That is why it is important that their homes be as comfortable and as secured as possible because the last thing any parent wants is to see their baby cry and in distress.  

When shopping for baby beddings, there are but three simple things to consider: comfort, durability and safety, according to the Health Guidance website.

Comfort. Although, it may seem that the softest bedding is the most comfortable, it’s not. It is better to get a mattress that is soft but firm enough to support a baby’s developing back. A spring mattress may be an ideal choice, but it may be a little dangerous for infants since it becomes too bouncy at times.

Safety. The mattress must be a perfect fit to the crib. A loosely placed crib may be dangerous for the little one. Also, when it comes to choosing the quilt, it should not be too thick or too soft as it may suffocate the baby as it moves around the crib. Make sure that the crib has the right number of pillows as well, because too much of it may accidentally smother the baby. Considering the fabric used for the beddings may be wise as well, make sure it is free from lint, fluff or fur because the baby may be sensitive to such.

Durability. Aside from the fact that it will be impractical to buy beddings every other week, it is also a waste of time to spend more time washing beddings than actually taking care of the baby. Be sure to get easy-to-wash beddings which can last a long time.

Although, these three factors are good enough on their own, it is also a reality that parents need to consider the design and the price of the beddings. 




Fab Fabric
Choosing Fabric for the Baby

Whether it may be shopping for clothes or beddings, the fabric used remains to be one of the most important factors to consider. It’s because the comfort and safety of the baby relies on what fabric is used for their baby beddings and clothes.

According to Janis Stone, Textiles and Clothing Extension Specialist of the Iowa State University, “A fabric must have ‘breathability’ so body moisture can evaporate. This is particularly important in summer months when baby will be uncomfortable and perhaps develop a rash if perspiration can't evaporate.”

Speaking of “breathability”, cotton is still the best choice because of its absorbent and breathable characteristics of its fibers. There are different types of cotton fabric available; some are a blend of cotton and other type of fibers such as polyester or nylon. These are okay; just remember that the higher the cotton content, the more breathable and absorbent the fabric is. 

In cases, where the baby needs to wear something which is polyester or nylon, it is best to use a cotton undergarment to absorb perspiration. Just make sure to regularly check the undergarment and change it as needed. However, considering the Philippine climate, it is best to opt for cottons or cotton blends instead.

New Creation Manufacturing Inc. manufactures infant wear and baby beddings usually made of 100% cotton or cotton blends. Aside from the good quality fabric that they use, the company pride itself with classic designs for their major brands Hello Dolly and Little Wishes. It is also the licensee of popular brands like Disney Baby, Disney Princess, Baby Einstein, Classic Pooh, Disney Animals, Finding Nemo, Winnie the Pooh, Cars, Toy Story, Baby Looney Tunes, Snoopy and Fisher Price.

New Creation Manufacturing Inc. infant wear and baby beddings are available in leading department stores nationwide.
