NOTE: Make sure to remove before putting your newborn in a car seat to prevent overheating on your journey home.
Envelope Necks - Effortless outfit changes
Newborns are delicate, and their little necks require special attention. That's where envelope necks come in to save the day! These cleverly designed necklines stretch easily to fit over your baby's head and down over their whole body, making dressing and undressing a breeze. With envelope necks, you can bid farewell to the struggle of slipping clothes over their delicate ears or getting messy when taking their outfits off during changes. Dressing your baby has never been more delightful or stress-free.
Cardigans - Speedy temperature regulation
Newborns are unable to regulate their own body temperature, which is why you will want some pieces which can easily be added or removed to help them along with this temperature regulation. These adorable layering essentials keep your little one snug and cosy, and are easy to remove or add to outfits quickly to prevent overheating or to keep them warm. Whether you're going for a formal occasion or a casual day out, a cardigan completes the look, making your baby stylish and safe in all weather.
