Newborn sets: a guide to choosing and gifting
tuc tuc newborn sets come in two and three pieces (a T-shirt, trousers or footed leggings and a light cardigan), nearly all in soft knit and some in woven fabric, in sizes from 0-1 month to 18-24 months. They have side or shoulder fastenings so you can dress your baby with no fuss. They're one of the most practical gifts, along with newborn sleepsuits.
What to look for in the first few weeks
- Side or shoulder fastenings: no need to squeeze the garment over their head.
- Footed leggings: keep feet covered without socks that keep falling off.
- Soft elasticated waist: doesn't press on their tummy.
Two or three pieces
Two-piece sets are for every day; three-piece sets add a light cardigan and have walks and visitors covered without hunting for an extra layer.
Size
0-1 month = 50–58 cm · 1-3 months = 59–62 cm · 3-6 months = 63–68 cm. Size 0-1 month is outgrown in no time; for newborn essentials or a gift, 1-3 months gets the most wear. If you know their length at birth, enter it on each product page and the recommended size is highlighted. Remember that all the pieces in the set come in the same size, so go by your baby's length, not their age.
What size should I give?
If you don't know how long the baby is, give 1-3 months or 3-6 months: that way they'll definitely get to wear it. Size 0-1 month is best left to the family, who'll know whether the baby was born big or small.
Frequently asked questions
What size set should I choose for a newborn?
A newborn usually wears size 0-1 month (50–58 cm), but outgrows it in a few weeks. That's why for newborn essentials it's worth having mostly 1-3 months (59–62 cm) and a few in 3-6 months (63–68 cm). More measurements in the size guide.
Are the pieces of a newborn set sold separately?
No, newborn sets are sold complete, in a single size for all the pieces. That's why it's best to choose the size based on your baby's length and not just their age. If you need a specific item, browse newborn clothing.
Which newborn set is the most practical for every day?
The most practical is a side-fastening T-shirt with footed leggings: it's quick to change, doesn't leave their tummy exposed and keeps their feet covered. For going out for a walk or welcoming visitors, a three-piece set with a light cardigan is the most complete option.
How should I wash newborn clothes before they're worn?
Wash them before first use, inside out, on a cold wash with a gentle detergent and without tumble drying, as a general recommendation; always follow the care label. Avoid using too much fabric conditioner. All tuc tuc clothing is made in line with the EU REACH regulation, which bans harmful substances in textiles.
What can I give a newborn besides clothes?
As well as a set or sleepsuit in size 1-3 or 3-6 months, practical textiles such as blankets, muslins or a comforter are always welcome; you'll find them in sleep and textiles. A three-piece set is the most complete clothing gift.
What newborn sets does tuc tuc offer?
tuc tuc offers newborn sets for boys and girls, in two and three pieces, in soft knit and some in woven fabric, with details such as frills, tulle sleeves, embroidery or pockets. The prints are the brand's own: giraffes, fish, palm trees or stripes. Sizes from 0-1 month to 18-24 months.
