It should be noted that the child can get dressed and undressed only after 3 and a half years. Let's talk about how we should dress our child to be comfortable.

Of course, every mother wants to dress her child as nicely and better as possible, and most grandmothers - as they can. But in fact for the child the most important thing in his clothes is convenience and comfort . Clothes for the child should be bought in view of practicality, freedom of movement, their properties to keep warm and allow moisture to evaporate.

When dressing your child, we must remember that at the age of 1 to 3 years he moves a lot. It will not be comfortable for him if his clothes are heavy.

The child is best at any time of the year to wear cotton clothes - they let the air through, not allowing the child's body to overheat.

In winter, children's clothes should be comfortable and convenient, not too heavy and made of breathable fabric In winter, it is best to get for your child not a heavy coat, but a comfortable jacket and pants or an astronaut , with which he will be able to wallow in the snow and run easily while playing with peers. A child dressed in very warm clothes will not get any pleasure from spending time outside, will sweat quickly and may eventually catch a cold.

In general, the child should wear winter clothes only if the air temperature is lower than -10 degrees. In this case, the child should have a hat to cover his forehead and ears, as they are more sensitive to cold. At higher temperatures, the child can go out to play or go for a walk with an autumn jacket and hat .

You should not cover the child's mouth and nose with a scarf during the cold, because his normal breathing through the nose is disturbed. The little one begins to breathe the cold air with his mouth open. The scarf gets wet quickly and causes an unpleasant sensation.

Nowadays, the choice of children's clothing is really huge, but you must remember that the best fabrics for young children are natural. Their clothes should not be too big so that they do not interfere with their movement, and in no case should they be too tight so as not to hinder their movements.

Shoes for young children should be comfortable above all, and secondly - beautiful. By the 12th month, the baby's foot is fully formed, the muscles of his legs continue to develop, the ligaments and the arch of the foot are strengthened. The first shoes that the child will wear must be his.

At home the child can walk with knitted soft socks , and for outside you should buy him boots with a semi-hard sole . First you have to put them on the child for only 20 minutes, the next time - for 30, etc. The child must gradually get used to them.

Above all, children's clothes should be comfortable and convenient, not too tight or too big Experts believe that a child's foot is best shaped if the child walks in tights or canvas shoes most of the time. Boots wear the foot and make it passive, but they are still needed outside.

When choosing shoes for the child , you should choose those in which the insoles are made of natural materials, as synthetics collect moisture and can lead to fungal disease. The size of the boots can be larger, the heel height should not exceed 1/14 of the length of the foot. In addition, open- heeled shoes are recommended for young children . Their back must be stable and prevent distortion of the child's feet.

Children at an early age , in addition to home shoes , it is desirable to have light leather boots , warm winter boots and rubber boots with insoles of natural fabric inside.

And, of course, you must make sure that the child's shoes are dry and clean, it would be very good to teach your child from an early age to put his shoes in place when he comes home.

Parents should know that:

  • In the first year, the child begins to try to dress himself, puts his hand in his sleeve, stretches his leg when he puts on his boots.
  • In the second year, the child can help adults dress him.
  • At the age of two and a half, the child easily takes off his clothes, just tries to put on his shoes.
  • At the age of 3, the little one carefully stretches his blouse or robe, just puts on his stretched clothes, and then takes them off.
  • Only after three and a half years the child gets dressed and undressed practically alone , without the help of someone big.
