A garment designed for infants, particularly those delivered in a residential setting, often features soft, comfortable fabric suitable for delicate skin. Its purpose is to provide warmth and ease of movement for the newborn. Examples may include bodysuits or rompers made from organic cotton.
Providing a comfortable and recognizable item of clothing immediately following birth can aid in the infant’s transition to its environment. This type of apparel can contribute to a feeling of security and well-being for the baby and can serve as a memento for the family. Historically, such garments reflect a growing awareness of the importance of gentle, natural care practices during childbirth.
