Newborn Hat Bow Taupe

Doesn’t the little hat keep slipping off?

No. It gently hugs the head and stays in place. Around four to six weeks, most babies outgrow it in size.

Can my baby sleep in it?

Not indoors. Babies lose a great deal of heat through their heads, and wearing a hat can make them too warm. Remove the hat when your baby sleeps indoors, and use it outdoors or in a cool room.

Isn’t cotton too thin for a newborn?

No. Cotton provides enough warmth during the first few weeks without causing your baby to overheat. If it’s cold outside, choose a wool hat.

Can I take this hat to the hospital?

Yes. It’s lightweight and compact, so it fits easily in your hospital bag. Check in advance whether you’re allowed to use your own hat on that ward.

How do I know whether my baby is warm enough?

Feel the back of the neck or between the shoulder blades, not the hands or feet. These almost always feel cooler on a newborn, even when the rest of the body is comfortably warm.
