Baby hats are part of every newborn's wardrobe – in every season. But why is that?
Perhaps you are asking yourself this very question – does my baby really need a hat, even in summer? The clear answer is yes. This is because newborns are not yet able to regulate their body temperature independently after birth.
They lose a lot of heat through their heads – even in mild temperatures or light winds. A suitable hat not only protects your baby from the cold in winter, but also from UV radiation and overheating from direct sunlight in summer. It's not just about warmth, but also about the feeling of security and protection, that you give your baby with the right headgear.
How many baby hats do I need?
The answer depends on how often you wash and what season your baby is born in.
In everyday life at least two to three hats have proven useful:
- One to wear,
- one as a spare in the nappy bag,
- one in reserve for washing or spontaneous temperature changes. If you switch between summer and winter hats, it's worth having a small, functional selection rather than lots of poor-quality items.
Baby hats – what is the best material?
If you value sustainability and skin-friendly materials, you should take a closer look. Babies' sensitive skin is particularly permeable and requires natural fibres that breathe, protect and regulate without irritating.
Here are our recommendations:
- For cooler days:
Baby hat made from 100% organic virgin wool
This natural fibre regulates temperature: it keeps you warm without overheating – perfect for spring, autumn or mild winter days.
When it gets really cold, you can wear this hat as a first layer under a thicker wool hat or a jumpsuit hood. - For summer and as an indoor hat
Baby hat made from 100% silk
Silk is light and airy, moisture-regulating and particularly gentle on sensitive baby scalps. Ideal for hot days and sensitive newborns – with no risk of overheating. If you are having a baby in the summer, this hat is a must-have for the start of their life.
Baby hat made of wool/silk (70% wool, 30% silk)
This hat is one of the most popular models among our customers. The combination of soft virgin wool and smooth silk makes it particularly comfortable to wear. Its temperature-regulating effect provides optimal protection for little ones in spring, autumn and during the transition period.
How do I tie a baby hat correctly and why does it have such long ties?
You may have wondered why baby hats almost always have long ties. The reason is simple: babies move around a lot – including their heads. To prevent the hat from slipping or being pulled off, it should be tied securely – but not too tightly.
In this short video, we show you how to tie our baby hat correctly, so that it stays securely in place and your baby can still move freely.
