Introduction: Babies are very irregular and have become something that mothers must understand now. The issue of children's underwear is the responsibility of every regulatory department to provide a good living environment for the country's future talents.
The current situation of non-standard baby underwear
On the 24th, the China Consumers Association announced the results of a comparative test of knitted underwear for infants and young children. 24 out of 39 samples had quality problems of varying degrees, exceeding Sixty percent. For example, Jottum brand round-neck bow knitted sweaters originating from Turkey and printed trousers originating from Macedonia have color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to water, color fastness to saliva, color fastness to rubbing, and fiber content of 5 None of the indicators met the standards; the "Adzuki Bean Shell Adzuki Bean Shell Premium Clothing Gift Box" also had four indicators that did not meet the standards: washing dimensional change rate, fiber content, and pH value. The well-known brands Shanghai Disneyland and Adidas infant clothing have repeatedly been on the blacklist.
The three brands “Disney” of Shanghai Liyingfang Baby Products Co., Ltd., “Adidas” of Adidas Sports (China) Co., Ltd., and “gretton” of Beijing Tiancai Textile and Garment Co., Ltd. have been tested for three consecutive years. There were two problems respectively. This year, the Laiyingfang "Disney" and Beijing Tiancai "gretton" were mainly due to the poor dimensional change rate during washing and easy shrinkage. Adidas infant clothing printing products have low color fastness to rubbing.
Baby Underwear Purchasing Strategy
How to correctly choose underwear that is of good quality and suitable for your baby? Some mothers will choose wear-resistant and washable underwear. , easy-drying chemical fiber fabrics are used to make clothes, and bag decorations such as pocket flaps, pins, and buckles are designed. However, chemical fiber fabrics are allergic to baby's skin and can easily cause symptoms such as dermatitis and itching. Therefore, when choosing clothes, try to choose good fabrics, such as high-end fabrics, such as pure cotton and combed cotton p>
Let me teach you some tips on choosing baby underwear.
Touch: whether the fabric is soft, especially under the armpits, wrists, etc. When choosing, you might as well put it next to you and feel it; whether the elasticity of the cuffs and waistband is comfortable.
Second look: Underwear that is extremely white, or even blue-white, often contains fluorescent agent (a chemical that has a bleaching effect). Although the clothes look whiter, stiffer, and less likely to wrinkle, But it is harmful to the baby's skin. Therefore, you cannot blindly think that "white" is good.
Three smells: If it smells unpleasant, it is likely that formaldehyde or other chemical additives remain.
Four thoughts: Although baby underwear is small, there are many types, long, short, robe-shaped, frog-shaped, daily wear, sleeping wear, there are seven or eight kinds of them. Consider the different benefits of each when choosing.
However, the choice of baby underwear needs to be based on the baby's body characteristics. Specifically:
Shopping for baby underwear in infancy
The physical characteristics of babies (0-1 years old) are mainly characterized by a large head and a small body, with the head accounting for 4/8 of the body length. . The torso accounts for 3/8 of the body length. The legs are short and account for 1/8 of the body length. The height is about 3.5-4 heads high. The bones are soft and waistless. It is in a period of rapid body development and large body posture changes. From a physiological point of view: babies sleep a lot, sweat a lot, have a high frequency of milk overflow, have a high number of excretions, and have particularly delicate skin. They belong to a special group that does not have the ability to take care of themselves and protect themselves.
The choice of baby underwear is based on the parents’ hobbies and knowledge. Since the body is in a period of rapid growth during infancy, parents should pay attention to the loose and comfortable style when choosing underwear; pure cotton fabrics are the first choice for babies. ; The color of underwear can be white or light-colored, so as to detect in time whether the baby's poop is normal. In addition, pay attention to the fact that there should be no broken stitches or threads in the sewing of underwear, so as not to damage the baby's skin; the brand on the collar of newly purchased underwear should be removed in time to prevent damage to the baby's delicate skin.
During this period, the physical growth rate of young children is slower than that of infancy, and the height ratio is about 4 heads high. From a physiological point of view, young children are active, sweat a lot, have delicate skin, can control urination and defecation, and their language, action and expression abilities are beginning to emerge.
Shopping for baby underwear in childhood
Children’s heads develop earlier than their trunks, and their trunks develop earlier than their limbs. From 2 to 6 years old, the growth of the lower limbs accelerates, greatly exceeding the development of the head and body; by the age of 6, the proportion of body development is more symmetrical. Childhood is the final stage of youth development.
Children's underwear should be mainly safe, comfortable, simple and convenient to meet the physiological needs of physical activities. Fabrics should pay attention to their comfort and hygienic functions, and tend to be bright and active colors. They should be selected according to the physical and psychological characteristics of children of different ages. The patterns should mainly use cartoon images, animals, plants, and other animals that children love. Flowers, text, etc.
Taboos for expectant mothers
When choosing clothes for the baby, mothers should choose pure cotton and loose clothes, avoid clothes made of chemical fibers, and choose light-colored patterns or plain colors. of. For babies, front cardigans or clothes with wide round necks are the best. They are also convenient for mothers to put on and take off and change diapers for their babies, and can reduce the chance of baby's body damage. There is no need to prepare too many clothes for your baby, because babies grow very quickly, and clothes for newborn babies should not be too small or tight, so preparing too much will be a waste.
Baby's clothes should be kept clean and dry, and must be changed in time if they are contaminated with feces and urine. New baby clothes or clothes that have been stored for a long time should be rinsed with clean water several times before use. It is recommended to use professional baby clothes detergent and hung in the sun and in a ventilated place to dry. Let me introduce it to you in detail
1. Avoid wearing chemical fiber fabrics
As the saying goes: "Children are very angry." This is because children's neurological functions are not yet fully developed and their autonomic nerves They are easily excited, sweat more than adults, generate heat quickly, and have poor adaptability to climate change. Although chemical fiber fabrics are beautiful and smooth in color, they have poor water absorption and air permeability. Especially in the hot summer and autumn, wearing chemical fiber clothes is not easy to dissipate heat, and it is easy to develop prickly heat and sores. In addition, chemical fiber is a chemical product, which can easily cause allergic reactions in children and induce urticaria and urticaria. Do not use chemical fiber fabrics for skin such as measles, rubella, eczema, dermatitis, newborn diapers, underwear, and girls' vagina to avoid causing pain to children. , Cotton textiles have better moisture absorption, breathability, heat dissipation, softness and other properties than chemical fibers, are less likely to cause inflammation, and are most suitable for children's clothes.
2. It is better not to eat too much
As the saying goes: "If you want a child to be safe, you should take care of hunger and cold." People are warned not to overeat and clothe children. thick. Wear less clothes as appropriate, and the child's activity level may increase or decrease. On the contrary, if you wear too many and too thick clothes and sweat when you move even a little bit, it will not only damage the body's body fluids, but also keep the pores open. If there is wind and cold, it is easy to catch a cold and even induce bronchitis.
3. Do’s and don’ts when making clothes for newborns
Mothers should note that shirts for newborns are best made of old soft cotton. Clothes should be roomy so that the baby's limb movements are not restricted. Do not wear collars or buttons on clothes to avoid scratching the baby's neck skin. The straps used for baby cardigans should be passed through the opposite armpit and then knotted. Do not go too high to avoid damaging the armpit skin.
4. Children should not be given "candle bags" after two months.
After two months, children's limbs will begin to develop. At this time, do not wrap the child in the "candle bag". The child should be put on clothes and pants to facilitate free movement.
5. Avoid wearing tight clothes on your children
Some young parents like to wear tight clothes themselves and often wear tight clothes on their children. They lack health knowledge and do not understand the physiological characteristics of children during childhood, such as small chests and low lung capacity. Wearing tight clothes will restrict the chest and breathing, affecting lung function and the normal development of the chest, back and joints. The clothes worn by children should be slightly wider to facilitate children's movement and putting on and taking off clothes.
6. It is not advisable to use dark cloth to make clothes for children
The color of the cloth for making clothes for children should be light. Cloth dyed with dark pigments has certain effects on the skin. ***, easy to cause dermatitis and allergic reactions.
7. Do not put mothballs on children’s clothes
Do not put mothballs on children’s clothes. This is because mothballs sold on the market contain naphthalene and naphthol derivatives. Some people suffer from hemolytic anemia caused by a genetic defect (red blood cells lack glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). The patient usually has no symptoms. Once exposed to substances such as naphthol, the redox process of red blood cells will be hindered. The cell membrane is damaged and acute hemolytic anemia occurs. This phenomenon is more common in newborns, where anemia and physiological jaundice persist or worsen, and jaundice may occur in severe cases. Therefore, when storing children's clothes, they should be fully dried before wearing. After being heated, naphthols will quickly become gases and volatilize, and newborns will be protected from their harm
8. Young children should not wear imitation silk Clothes
Recently, a new textile product has been launched on the market that is comparable to real silk in appearance - polyester simulated silk. It feels soft and colorful, and is light and elegant when made into shirts and dresses. And because polyester filament has better elasticity and strength than real silk, its fastness, wrinkle resistance, washability and other wearing properties are better than real silk. But its performance is worse than silk.
It turns out that when manufacturing artificial silk made of polyester, the fineness and cross-section of the fiber are imitated into the shape of silk, so the luster and softness are indistinguishable from real silk. However, the poor hygroscopicity of polyester fiber has not changed. Only when the clothing material has good hygroscopicity can the sweat emitted from the body be absorbed by the fibers and emitted outwards. For example, the moisture absorption rate of silk fiber can be as high as above, and the sweat on the human body surface can easily leak out of the body, thus giving the wearer a cool, smooth and comfortable feeling. However, the hygroscopicity of simulated silk is much worse than that of real silk fiber, so although it is light and thin, it is difficult to allow a large amount of sweat to escape in the hot summer. After wearing it for a long time, it will feel stuffy and sticky, which is very inappropriate for young children.
Tips for buying clothes
Buying clothes for newborns
Mothers especially like to buy clothes for their children. There is absolutely no need to spend a lot of money on clothes for your children that can only be worn on special occasions.
Newborns need to change clothes frequently throughout the day, so prepare enough clothes for your child.
Common sense about clothing
If there are size instructions on the clothing, be sure to ensure that the child can use it for at least 2 months. Children will not care about slightly larger clothes. In fact, slightly larger clothes are more suitable because children will grow up in a short time.
Only buy washable, color-proof clothes.
Make sure that the clothes you buy do not affect the use of diapers, and you do not need to take off a lot of clothes when changing diapers. When buying loose-fitting towel jumpsuits, look for ones with metal buttons at the crotch or front crotch.
For a period of time after the baby is born, it is best to wear a nightgown so that you only need to lift the clothes when changing.
It is best to use clothes with a wider opening in the front or clothes with an open collar, because children do not like to have things covering their faces.
Clothes that open in the front are easy to put on and take off without having to turn the child over.
The material of the clothes should be soft and comfortable, and the seams should not be hard. Before purchasing, check the neckline size and waist size. When buying swaddling towels for your child, it is best to buy cotton or wool ones. If you buy cloth, make sure the texture is soft and comfortable.
Purchase non-flammable clothing.
It is not advisable to buy clothes with lace, as children may insert their hands into the holes.
It is not advisable to buy white clothes, as white clothes are not easy to wash. Children like to wear bright clothes or traditional clothes in pastel colors.
If you buy a hat for your child, it must be one with a strap. If there is no strap, you must sew a strap on. Most children don't like wearing hats and will pull them off if they are not tied with a strap.
Clothes with metal buttons at the back of the collar generally last longer. When the clothes become smaller, the metal buttons at the back can be left unfastened so that the head can still pass through the collar.
Purchasing other clothes
What clothes you need to buy most depends on your financial situation and personal preferences. Children don't necessarily have to wear any one item of clothing, but there are certain items of clothing that are more suitable for children.
For example, in summer, the most suitable clothes should be cotton T-shirts and shorts, or other cotton clothes.
Another example is that in the winter, the best clothing is a jumpsuit and cheesecloth, not a jumpsuit. After the child can walk, the child's clothes must ensure the child's safety and the knees should be thickened. As before, your child's clothing should be comfortable for diaper changes.
Because the child can now crawl around and will not lie still, the clothes must be easy to wash.
Pay attention to the size of trouser legs, collars and cuffs, and plan the size of your next clothing purchase. You may quickly learn to measure your child's clothes, but if you're not sure what size to buy, it's better to buy clothes based on your child's height rather than his age.
Different countries have different clothing size standards, so if you are unclear about the local clothing size standards, be sure to ask the salesperson. If you can't tell the exact size of the clothes, be sure to ask first if the clothes can be changed.
Pajamas and Underwear
Initially, there is no need to distinguish between day and night clothes, the most suitable pajamas are jumpsuits. As your child grows older, it becomes more comfortable for your child to sleep in pajamas. If the weather is cold, it is better for the child to wear a sleeping bag to prevent the child from staring at the quilt.
If you buy a pullover for your child, make sure it has a larger neckline so it is easier to put on and take off. The colors of clothing patterns should be brighter.
Summary: Today, the market for baby clothes is getting bigger and bigger. How to standardize baby clothes has become a headache. There is no strict supervision of the market and no clear punishment in the law, which makes unscrupulous businesses eager to try, and where can "babies" find their rights.
