Clothing for premature babies – softness and protection

Dressing a premature baby

Premature birth requires special attention. Dressing a premature baby is not just a matter of size, but a true act of care. Their thin skin, temperature sensitivity, and limited movement necessitate specific, soft, and secure clothing.

The specific needs of fragile toddlers

A premature baby needs to be kept at a constant temperature, without sweating or chafing. Clothing should be easy to put on, require minimal handling, and remain comfortable even in a medical environment.

Materials to favor for sensitive skin

Merino wool is ideal: breathable, hypoallergenic, and naturally antibacterial, it respects the delicate skin of premature babies. Unlike synthetic fibers, it regulates temperature without causing irritation.
