Pyjama Bottoms

Newborn babies spend most of their time in pyjamas. For this reason the baby pyjamas you choose should be the softest available as well as comfortable. They come in a wide variety of styles such as the sleeper, footed, two piece sets and even bags that gather around the bottom to keep their feet warm. Some include covers that go over the hands to prevent them from getting cold as well as prevent them from scratching their face. They may have buttons, snaps or zippers for ease in changing diapers. They could have a combination of these such as snaps around the crotch for changing the baby’s diaper and a zipper down the front for ease in putting it on and taking it off.

Baby pyjamas have come a long way in the past few decades. They are designed to look like clothes but function like pyjamas. This means they are meant to keep your baby warm while allowing you to take them out in public without looking like they are wearing pyjamas. They come in a variety of materials but the most popular is terry cloth and cotton. You should look for pyjamas that are flame resistant and some that are a little larger than your baby actually needs at the time. This is to ensure they will fit for several months before having to buy new ones. Since they come in a variety of materials it is best to get the ones that will stretch a little so they give with the baby’s movements. You should also try to find matching bibs so that the pyjamas do not become stained from formula that is spit up or may spill on them. This can be difficult to remove and sometimes leaves a stain.

Many parents of newborns worry about SIDS. Researchers have designed a set of baby pyjamas that actually has sensors that sense when a baby has stopped breathing and sounds an alarm to alert the parents. These baby pyjamas are equipped with a small computer chip that communicates with a bedside monitor. They are usually recommended to parents with infants that are at risk for SIDS.
