Why your Kids Should Wear Pyjamas to Sleep

Why your Kids Should Wear Pyjamas to Sleep


Everyday wellness is about taking care of yourself and feeling good, every day — and every night. It doesn’t just mean eating right and exercising. It also means finding small, simple ways to take care of ourselves and feel good about ourselves.
And here’s one of the simplest ways out there:

 Pyjamas


Clothing is an important part of our everyday lives. It keeps us warm and protects us from the weather.
Many of us are tired by the end of the day — way too tired to care what clothes we or our kids choose to wear to bed. If we’re lucky, we’ve managed to brush our teeth and wash off our makeup before we pass out on the pillow. But thinking about pyjamas? Not so much.
Behavioral modification is powerful stuff. Good habits beget better habits, and confidence breeds confidence. The same holds true in the bedroom. Wearing something soft and comfortable for your kids is healthy as babies and young toddlers are too small for blankets.
When picking pyjamas for a newborn, infant, or toddler, comfort is only half the story. The other main factor is safety—especially when dressing newborns for sleep. Below, find out how to decide what to put on a newborn, infant, and toddler at bedtime.

Choosing The Right Wear for Kids at Bedtime

    Newborns: It is important to dress babies in clothing that isn’t too loose (because that lowers the risk of suffocation). One-pieces with built-in feet are a great go-to choice. The most important thing is to avoid any clothing that can ride up over the baby’s face, like tops that are loose around the neck.
That’s where sleep sacks (with no hoods!) and wearable sleep blankets come in handy. (Don’t cover babies with a separate blanket, since that can accidentally cover their faces during sleep). That said, overheating boosts a newborn’s risk for SUID, so make sure to remove outer layers if your baby’s face looks flushed.
    Infants: The above advice should be followed until babies hit the age of one, which is when they are no longer at risk for SUID. At this point, pyjamas can be almost anything infants are comfortable in and blankets can be added for warmth. Choosing cotton clothing is a good idea, since it’s soft and breathable—and it helps keep a baby’s body temperature at an ideal level during sleep. One other thing to note for infant sleepwear: Legally, any pajamas that are sized from nine months through size 14 must be either flame-resistant or tight-fitting. This is because loose clothing more easily catches on fire. Pajamas in this age range should have tags saying whether they are flame-retardant and snug-fitting and avoid any that don’t say either.

    Toddlers: By the toddler stage, the rules change again. At some point, your child will move into a big-kid bed, and then pajamas can be anything that your little one likes. As for how warm the pyjamas should be, adults should use their bodies as a guide for how many layers are necessary.

Floral Print

Floral prints date back to thousands of years. Long ago, flowers held deep meaning and symbolism, which people enjoyed incorporating into their clothing. Flowers are known as a universal symbol of femininity, which is prevalent in different cultures and time periods. Floral prints are diverse and have always been in production… something we don’t see changing anytime soon. Trends are usually established in adult clothing and are then adapted into children’s wear.

Floral prints typically make us think of warm weather and sunny days. Flowers carry a happy connotation and it feels good to wear them, so why not! Florals are all about having fun with fashion and embracing the excitement of summer. The print is versatile – you can find it on everything from casual kids bathing suits to exquisite wedding dresses. The floral theme also makes great accessories that give you more ways to work the flowers into your style. And if you’re a girly girl at heart, wearing florals is a perfect way to show your feminine side.
Floral Children’s Fashion Trends for Clothing:
 Floral prints come in a variety of styles, colors, shapes, and designs. Does your little girl have a favorite flower? Look for a dress with her flower print on it. Kids should love what they are wearing and this is a great way to ensure that. Experts remind us to keep an eye on the size of the print when choosing a dress for your little girl. Smaller girls might avoid larger prints as they could engulf a petite frame.
We can also introduce floral into a boy’s wardrobe as long as we choose the right floral,keep the print in mind , Avoid having competing design elements in your outfit and use  youthful, or traditionally masculine elements to balance it out, then you are good to go.
Floral prints can be used for gowns, ties, bow tie, shirts, skirts, tops, blazers, shorts and many other wears.

Five Floral Print Fashion Trend Tips

Choose lightweight fabrics that breathe well this summer. Cotton, linen, rayon, and chiffon are just a few that work well.
 Feel free to mix patterns! Just make sure there’s one color that ties both prints together. Black and navy are great options.
 To create a slimming illusion and draw the eye in, explore dresses with flowers gathering down the center.
 Be bold! Summer is your excuse to wear bright, vivid colors. If your wardrobe is filled with mostly dark solids, adding a floral print can be just what you need to match your outfit with your summer state of mind.
 Floral accessories can add a hint of femininity to your look. Try flower inspired sandals, sunglasses with flowers printed on them, or shade your face with a floral printed sun hat.

Pattern Mixing Looks Better on Kids

Pattern Mixing

Talking about mix matching, when it comes to trying adventurous fashion trends like pattern mixing, kids frequently have adults beat. Their sense of play and lack of inhibition lead them to try combinations that adults would never dare. But we know there are ways to successfully mix patterns and prints that feel bold without getting too crazy.
If your mother ever warned you that patterns don't mix, you may still be a believer in this common decorating myth. Well, consider it busted! A lively mix of different patterns and prints makes for a fun and interesting design, adding an element of playfulness that works perfectly in kid-friendly spaces.

How do I Mix these Patterns

 Mixing patterns is actually much easier than you may think.
When mixing patterns, make sure to choose two or three different types. You might pair stripes with polka dots, or polka dots with florals— just make sure that each pattern is distinct.
Multiple patterns of the same type confuse the eye, which takes a moment to register that the patterns are similar but not alike. But varied patterns are instantly distinguishable, creating clear contrast and resulting in fresh and more visually interesting designs.
That's why it's important to consider other details, like color, when making your choices.
It is a good idea to break up your patterns with blocks of solid color.
Patterns are "pack elements.” Together they make a statement, but alone, they tend to get lost in the mix.
Another helpful tip is to choose patterns that vary in scale. Multiple large-scale prints compete for focus, distracting the onlooker, but a mix of small and intricate patterns can look too busy. Again, contrast will produce the best results. Use both small and large-scale patterns

Ankara Patterns

Creativity is the mother of all inventions they say, who would have thought that we will be Mix Matching Ankara Fabric. Few years ago, mix matching styles are made because there are not enough material to make a dress, these days it is a popular fashion trend. Mixing ankara patterns can also be very attractive. We are not looking at mixing ankara patterns with polished cotton, Mixing different ankara pattern together is another way of mix matching clothes for kids though you need take cautions choosing the right patterns to match in order not end up going off color.
