Putting the kids to sleep can be a task but that can be made a little easier if they have soft, comfy pajamas to sleep in.
As a parent, you are probably aware that finding the perfect sleepwear for your kids is not easy. If you have searched for kids pajamas whether online or in stores then you will notice that most brands have the same old two-piece sets. Style with regard to kids pajamas does not seem to have changed much over the years. Kids pajamas are mostly available in gender-stereotyped colours and prints – pink for girls and blue for boys, as has been the norm for generations and generations. Options are slim even in the international market. But certain things are absolutely necessary when parents select sleepwear for their little munchkins.
- The fabric of your kids pajamas must be of good quality. It must not be irritating to the skin because that will definitely hinder your children from sleeping comfortably which will beat the purpose of comfy pajamas. Kids pajamas should be made of non-allergenic material that is washable in the machine and does not turn tear through if put to dry under the sun. It is better to choose organic fabrics that are sustainably sourced which are better for the skin and environment both. Organic cotton pajamas are more expensive than others but they are the safest bet for those with sensitive skin or otherwise. With proper care, they last for a considerable amount of time as well.
- The style of pajamas that you pick should depend on what is most comfortable for your kid. Be it two-piece sets or onesies, ask your children what they are most comfortable sleeping in. Rompers, playsuits and jumpsuits are all available as sleepwear nowadays and have become some of the most preferred styles of kids pajamas available in the market. Make sure that the pajamas are roomy enough because skin-fitted clothes are definitely not comfortable to sleep in. But pajamas must not be too big either. They should fall loosely around your child's body. While picking pajamas for infants make sure that they are not hoodies or have any extra fabric which might suffocate the baby in their sleep.
- The weather is a major factor that must be kept in mind while picking pajamas. Thicker pajamas are preferred during the winters while lighter fabrics are better for summer months. Having more than one set of pajamas keeping in mind the weather changes is advisable.
- Kids grow really fast so keep checking if they have outgrown their pajamas or not. If pajamas are even a single size small they may dig into the flesh and make sleeping uncomfortable for your kids. They must be replaced immediately whenever you find them a size too small for your kids.
- The prints on kids pajamas are diverse but repetitive on many occasions. It's better to consult your kids on this issue and pick what they like. A growing number of parents these days prefer to dress their kids in pajamas that are gender-neutral in style and colour so most brands have started making a shift to this style of kids pajamas.
To Conclude
Your kid's preference will change with age but as a parent, picking the best available option for your kid is always your priority. Changing styles, newer prints and fits, whatever the new trend may be, comfort of the wearer should be of utmost importance while picking pajamas. Getting the wearer's opinion is best while deciding what kind of pajamas to buy and use.
