When your preemie baby is ready for their first outfit, Best&Less have you covered for the cutest premature baby clothes! Launching TODAY is the affordable and gorgeous Berry Basics by Erin range which includes the tiniest of sizes. It has all the layers a teeny tiny baby needs!
Maximum comfort and ease of dressing are important for dressing ANY baby, but definitely a preemie baby. For babies that come early enough to be called preemies (babies born before 37 weeks gestation), their arrival is often unexpected and a shock to their parents…
Needless to say, those tiny clothes you may have already indulged in buying just aren’t tiny enough. Generally speaking, a 0000 fits a full-term newborn and moving down the sizing scale can prove hard to find – and sometimes quite expensive.
But the search is over, thanks to Best&Less! These super cute styles are available to fit preemies and beyond – and none of them will hurt your hip pocket!
Wait, do I need special clothes for a preemie baby?
Yes and no. When it comes to premature baby clothes, small and simple are best. Clothing for premature babies should be buttery soft, comfy and easy to get on and off. Clothing made from cotton and natural fibres is fantastic as it sits softly on the skin and allows for airflow, which is really important.
Premature and low-weight babies usually have very little body fat and can’t yet regulate their own temperature, even when in a warm environment. Layering light pieces of clothing and blankets are ideal to find that balance between being too cold and overheating!
Berry Basics by Erin: made for mums by a mum
Even for the most experienced mum, dressing a little baby can be tricky. Erin Molan, an Australian TV presenter and mum to daughter Eliza, is making dressing your tiny little human a whole lot easier with an exclusive new organic and sustainable baby range in partnership with Best&Less, called Berry Basics by Erin.
“When Eliza was born I took 10 baby singlets to a tailor and asked her to put on buttons, zips and Velcro down the front so they were easier to put on… 4 years later… the ‘world first’ (yes… really!) designs and more will be available nationally at Best&Less!” – Erin Molan, Instagram
The new collection incorporates Erin’s patented design, making it easier and more comfortable to dress your baby. It avoids ‘over the head’ dressing or bending the baby’s tiny delicate arms to squeeze the outfit on.
