Compared to socks, baby shoes have the advantage that lacing cords give them a better fit and they can't be easily pulled off the feet by the offspring (as the young movement enthusiasts always manage to do in continuous kicking exercises). Therefore, they are not only a practical part of the outdoor set, but also of warming value during the first attempts to turn and crawl.

Pure, undyed merino wool from certified organic animal husbandry is knitted into a fluffy soft fleece for these baby shoes. Merino wool naturally has excellent temperature-balancing properties. This is because insulating air cushions form between its fine, crimped fibers - an effect that is reinforced by the napped surface of the fleece. Thus, merino wool warms on cool days and keeps you cool on warm days. In addition, merino wool is breathable: If your baby starts to sweat, it absorbs a lot of moisture and dissipates it cooling to the environment. The notorious sweaty feet of the baby you can prevent very well with shoes made of merino wool.

When the first offspring is announced, parents are quickly faced with the pressing question of what equipment they need for the new family member - and above all: how many items of clothing? Basically, the first outfit does not have to overflow, because the infant grows (and often grows faster than we can initially imagine). For the newborn, clothing in sizes 56 to 62 should be selected - whether winter warming or summer light naturally depends on the season in which you expect your baby. In any case, an average checklist includes:

• 5 to 8 bodysuits

• 6 to 8 tops (T-shirts and, depending on the season, thicker or thinner sweaters)

• 3 to 5 rompers or pants with a wide, soft waistband

• 4 to 5 pairs of tights

• 3 to 5 pairs of socks

• 2 to 3 sleep overalls

• 2 sleeping bags

• 2 hats (1 of which is a first hat)

• 1 outdoor set with 1 jacket and 1 pair of pants (or 1 overall), 1 neckerchief, 1 pair of baby shoes

With this first baby kit, your newborn is so well taken care of that you have enough time to welcome your new family member first in peace, to get to know him and to take him deeply into your heart. Of course, your baby equipment will gradually require more (and larger) items of clothing - what the baby will continue to need clothing, this realization grows by itself with time and with your child, with your experience and care.
