Preemie baby clothesAs you probably already know, an infant is considered to be premature if he or she is born before the thirty seventh week of pregnancy. While premature birth tends to happen between eight to ten percent of all pregnancies; most stores do not cater to the preemie baby in the clothing department. It is unfortunate that most parents must fight through the thoughts of a possibly ill infant, as most premature infants tend to have health problems; but they must also worry about how to clothe their tiny infant. You may be asking yourself, what is the difference between newborn and preemie clothes? Well, generally speaking a newborn’s onesie is sized for infants anywhere from six to nine pounds in weight; while a preemie onesie is sized for infants from three to six pounds in weight. This of course makes it impossible to use newborn clothes for a premature infant during the first part of their delicate life.
Most mass-market retailers do not offer a large selection of premature infant clothing; instead opting to offer either a couple choices or nothing at all. You may find yourself hard pressed to find clothing for the tiny little life in your arms; unless you are shopping at a specialty shop for infant clothing, and even still you will be met with lack of selection. For this reason, many online retailers are now offering a wider variety for you to choose from for premature infants. Most being designed much the same way as any other newborn clothes would be, on a much smaller scale. Even harder still, may be to find an alternative fashion statement; outside of the pastel colorations of your average premature infant onesie. However, online stores like this one; are offering you a selection of unique and alternative inspired onesies and clothes for your premature infant to wear. Not only allowing you to clothe your child, but to enjoy the clothing selection as well. This site now offers many different style for you to choose from; whether you are of a gothic, punk, urban, emo, or other alternative lifestyle; you will surely be able to find something to fit your own needs; along with the ability to clothe your little one in style. Take a look around the store, and if you are able to find something that you MUST have; remember that while your child is so tiny now, he or she will be growing fast. If you enjoy one of the onesies, you may wish to consider purchasing them not only in preemie sizes, but one or two sizes up as well. Related information topics:
