6 of the best newborn baby socks 2024
Newborns have poor circulation so unless it’s very warm, wearing baby socks is preferable to bare feet as they can help your child regulate their temperature. Some parents prefer booties, tights or just putting the baby in Babygros with enclosed feet.
Advice on how many pairs of baby socks to get varies wildly from two to ten pairs.
They have an annoying tendency to fall off and disappear so look for ones designed to stay on or use Sock Ons.
