Socks for newborns. What is the right choice?

Socks for newborns. What is the right choice?
Babies' feet are very delicate and as such need to be best protected, especially during their first months of life.
In this important phase of the baby's growth, it is essential that he experiences the highest possible level of well-being, and not being able to communicate at best yet, the parent must be able to understand for himself what the baby likes and dislikes. But be careful, protecting the feet does not necessarily mean covering them as much as possible, avoiding any form of contact with air and external agents, but making sure that their state is functional to the healthy development and general well-being of the child. During the warm days or seasons the best thing is to always leave the baby free with bare feet, but what to do at night, or during the cold seasons?
Dear mothers, at this point we advise you to take a look at our socks from the CONDOR line where you will find many models suitable for all seasons to prevent the baby from suffering the lower temperatures.
It is very important to specify in advance that in the newborn, hands and feet that are colder than the rest of the body are normal, especially in the first months of life, a period in which the peripheral circulation has not yet developed 100%. This means that cold feet often do not coincide with a cold sensation on the rest of the body.
You can replace baby socks with socks


The socks are an excellent alternative to socks for newborns Not too heavy, made of soft, smooth, natural and breathable fabrics, they will instead be the perfect solution to warm the baby's feet, without limiting the freedom of movement and sensitivity.
Excluding cases in which it is too hot, the advantages of leaving the sock on concern several areas:
  • Few people know it but in the early stages of life, the sensitivity in the feet is higher than that of the hands. Therefore, leaving the child barefoot, or with thin and breathable socks, will guarantee a much stronger contact experience, which would otherwise be denied. Exploration develops intelligence and learning and hindering it is therefore detrimental to growth.

 

  • A sock that is not too thick in winter and leaving it barefoot in summer will improve circulation.
  • Formation of the sole of the foot: in this phase the shoes would hinder the development of the muscles of this part of the body, as they force the rapidly growing feet into confined spaces. If you want to protect the baby from the cold it is therefore always better to prefer a soft sock, which will warm but without forcing the baby.
  • Away from the problems: A simple breathable sock made with natural fabrics will protect the very sensitive skin of the foot from too aggressive external stresses. It is important to choose breathable quality materials to keep problems such as sweating, resulting itching, the possible formation of fungus and bad smells at bay.


 
Sleeping in socks or barefoot?

Finally, what about the nocturnal phase? Should the baby sleep barefoot or with socks on? Regardless of what your preferences are, it is always advisable to let the baby sleep with socks on, as this garment is able to promote sleep and therefore guarantee a better and more stable rest.
The motivation goes beyond the mere concept of comfort, but also concerns the correlation between the vasodilation of the extremities and the reception by the brain of the signal to sleep. In fact, when the foot is hot, the vessels dilate, with an effect similar to that of the dark on the eyes: also from this input it tells the brain that it is time to sleep.
However, it is important to choose the right socks for babies to promote sleep. In fact, they should not be too heavy to avoid obtaining the reverse result, preferably soft and made with natural or synthetic breathable materials.
