The most important clothing consideration for children is comfort. Clothes should not hamper the child’s play rather facilitate play. Tight clothes which restrict activities and interfere with natural circulation should be avoided as it may actually cause an unpleasant rash to develop in sensitive areas.
Clothing selected should be of correct size according to the age of the child. It should fit the body & the limbs snugly rather than one that is one size big.
Pants & panties should have enough room around the crotch. They should not restrict the child’s movements.
Rough textures are to be avoided as they tend to irritate the child’s smooth skin
Garments selected should not have undue strain across the waistline.
Elastic bindings should be loose otherwise it may cause irritation on skin.
Heavy, bulky clothes are tiring and hard to handle, hence select light weight clothes.
Clothing should be changed as per season. The child should be kept warm in winter. Dress the child in minimum clothes during summer.
