Synthetic fabrics, tabs, zippers and Velcro. Do you know what should be avoided in baby clothes? Check out tips and stay away from scares and unforeseen
Buying the first baby clothes is one of the most special moments of pregnancy. However, some care and attention is needed when shopping. A tighter model may suffocate the child, as did the three-year-old daughter of young Englishwoman Katie Price. According to the mother's report, which was posted on Facebook, the baby was almost asphyxiated by wearing a jumpsuit that tightened her neck.
To avoid situations like this, check out the main precautions when buying baby clothes:
Fabric
According to Fernanda Viana, a pediatrician at the Saúde4Kids Portal and a specialist in children's cardiology, parents should prefer natural fiber fabrics. "Synthetic fibers can prevent perspiration from the skin and are flammable," he explains.
Golas and caps
Restricted collars should be avoided because, just as in the case of Katie's daughter, they can be drawn by the child's movement, tightening the neck and obstructing the airway. Up to the age of seven, caped clothing should not have laces in the area of the hood and neck. "If they have adjustable cords, there should be no free ends and protruding loops to prevent suffocation," the pediatrician advises.
Fences
Retainer clothes should also be avoided in babies as the child may get caught and end up choking. According to Fernanda, if it has this type of handle, it should have a maximum of five centimeters.

Buttons
Buttoned clothes deserve special attention, after all, the child can pull or break the object and bring it to the mouth. Therefore, it is always necessary to check if they are well attached and can break easily.
Zipper
"For children up to seven years, the zipper of the clothes should not have opening in the handle, because carried to the mouth can cause accidents with milk teeth," Fernanda explains. In addition, the zipper should have internal fabric flap protection to prevent the child's skin from being trapped by the cursor movement.
Sewing and finishing
The pediatrician orients some care for seams and finishes, which must be delicate not to hurt the child. If the model has stickers, you should avoid the stickers, as they can be brought to the mouth, and prefer details that are sewn to the piece. In addition, velcro clothing should be avoided so as not to irritate the skin.
