Newborn accessories: the essentials
tuc tuc newborn accessories are the basics for those first few weeks: packs of knitted bibs with automatic, press-stud or back fastenings, knitted or woven fabric hats with a peak or adjustable strap, and elasticated knitted headbands for girls. Pair them with the newborn sleepsuits and the first outfit.
Bibs for the first feeds
Knitted bibs absorb milk and dribble well during the first months. The packs include several in different prints (fruit, little bees, savannah), so there's always a clean one to hand. An automatic or press-stud fastening goes on in a second without disturbing the baby too much.
Hats: knit or woven fabric
A knitted hat is soft and moulds to the head; a woven fabric hat with a peak is lighter and protects from the sun on walks. The adjustable strap under the chin helps keep it in place. Hat sizes range from 42 to 52 depending on the style; check the product page.
Headbands for girls
Newborn headbands are knitted with an elasticated fit so they don't squeeze. Always use them with an adult present and take them off for sleep. Choose a colour that goes with her sleepsuit or outfit.
What should go in the baby layette?
For the layette, a pack of knitted bibs and a soft hat are the most useful. If it's a girl, an elasticated headband to match her sleepsuit looks gorgeous in those first photos.
Frequently asked questions
What accessories does a newborn need?
The basics for a newborn are several bibs for feeds and a soft hat for walks. With a couple of packs of knitted bibs and one or two hats, you've got what you need for the first few weeks; headbands are an extra for girls.
What size hat does a newborn baby wear?
tuc tuc newborn hats come in numerical sizes, from 42 to 52 depending on the style; check each product page. A newborn aged 0 to 1 month is usually between 50 and 58 cm long. If you're torn between two sizes, choose the larger one, as babies grow quickly. See the size guide.
Knitted or woven fabric hat for a newborn?
Choose a knitted hat if you want softness and a snug fit on the head; a woven fabric hat with a peak is cooler and protects from the sun on walks on warm days. Styles with an adjustable strap stay in place better in the pushchair.
How should you wash newborn bibs for the first time?
It's a good idea to wash them before first use, cold or at a low temperature, with a mild detergent and no fabric softener, and to let them air-dry. Always follow the care label on each product. All tuc tuc garments are made in line with the EU REACH regulation.
What is a useful present for a newborn?
A pack of knitted bibs is one of the most useful presents: babies get through lots every day. You can add a hat or, for a girl, an elasticated headband. For something more complete, take a look at the newborn outfits.
What newborn accessories does tuc tuc have?
tuc tuc has packs of knitted bibs with different fastenings, knitted and woven fabric hats with a peak, frill or adjustable strap, and elasticated knitted headbands. They're the brand's own designs with fruit, animal and flower prints, made in line with the EU REACH regulation.
