Waiting for the arrival of a little one is an incredibly exciting time for expectant parents. The last weeks before childbirth are usually filled with frantic preparations – so that everything is at hand when the baby finally arrives.

However, assembling a newborn layette doesn't have to take a lot of time and energy. At Pepco stores, you'll find everything you need – from comfortable organic cotton clothes to practical accessories that make caring for a newborn much easier!

The youngest member of the family needs a lot of attention even before they arrive home. The best time to assemble a newborn layette is during pregnancy – during this time, you can calmly search for the necessary items and buy them at a good price. What should a newborn layette for home include? What items are essential and what else is worth buying?

Newborn layette – list of the most necessary items:

• Diapers
• Blankets – preferably two: a thinner and a thicker one
• Swaddle wrap
• Crib wrap
• Crib
• Mattress and fitted sheets
• Underpads for the sheets
• Bedding
• Clothes: onesies, short-sleeved and long-sleeved bodysuits, sleepsuits, sweatshirts, socks, hat, insulated stroller suit, fleece suit
• Stuffed toy: fabric or plush

This is just a basic newborn layette. The list contains only the most important items – it should be supplemented with additional accessories and clothes (depending on the season, place of residence, or individual needs). Don't forget about toys for your little one – in the first weeks of life, they will primarily need a soft toy to cuddle.

One of the most important points on the newborn layette list is clothing – the baby needs a lot of it, as it may be necessary to change the baby quite often. The exact contents of a newborn's wardrobe depend on the season. A baby born in winter needs slightly different outfits than a baby born in summer.

When choosing clothes for a newborn, pay attention not only to their style and size but also to the material. A newborn's skin is very delicate – so it's worth reaching for clothes made of cotton, viscose, and merino wool, and avoiding those made of scratchy materials that do not allow air to pass through and do not let the skin breathe.

It should include more short-sleeved clothes made from breathable materials. At Pepco, you'll find a wide range of baby clothes made from organic cotton. Why choose this material when assembling a wardrobe for little ones? Organic cotton is distinguished primarily by its exceptional softness, which provides children with full comfort. Clothes made from it are also hypoallergenic and allow the skin to breathe, protecting it from all kinds of irritation. Moreover, they are very durable and retain their properties for a long time.

It should include: short-sleeved bodysuits and onesies, sleepsuits, leggings, short-sleeved t-shirts, thin sweaters, thin socks.

It should include clothes that allow for layering and clothing made from warm materials: wool, thicker cotton, fleece.

At Pepco, you'll find a wide range of baby clothes for every season. These include warm baby onesies, sweatshirts and sweaters, warm trousers, jackets, and snowsuits. Textile baby accessories will also be indispensable during walks and on colder days – especially warm blankets.

It should include : long-sleeved bodysuits and onesies, long-legged sleepsuits, tracksuit bottoms, long-sleeved t-shirts, warm sweaters, thicker socks, hats, and snowsuits.
