What types of clothes do preemie babies need?

LONG- AND SHORT- SLEEVED T-SHIRTS Great for layer dressing or even combined with footed or non-footed sweat pants for a casual, stay-at-home outfit. Since preemies often don't like things pulled over their heads, many of our tees feature front openings with velcro fasteners.

HATS, BOOTIES, SCRATCH MITTS Preemie accessories do serve important functions for warmth and protection, but that doesn't mean they can't be cute, too! Of course everyone knows what to do with caps and booties, but for anyone who isn't aware, scratch mitts keep babies who are prone to flail and as a result, tend to scratch their delicate faces.

ONESIES AND CREEPERS / BODY SHIRTS What's the difference between a onesie and a creeper or body shirt? Not a great deal. Technically the onesie is designed as an undergarment to be worn over the diaper and under a dress, romper, pants and top etc. A creeper or body shirt is more decorative and is often worn with just a pair of pants or even alone.

PANTS AND FOOTED PANTS These are ideal for keeping those little legs warm. Great to wear with a matching top, over a body shirt or onesie. Because they can be worn in combination with so many other garments, pants add great versatility to the baby's wardrobe.

COVERALLS AND ROMPERS Coveralls are just like footed sleepers, only they're designed for daytime wear. Like coveralls, rompers are also one-piece garments, but they are not footed.

DRESSES AND DRESS ENSEMBLES No explanation for this category except to say that no little girls wardrobe is complete without a few casual and at least a couple or more formal looking dresses.
