Bonnets with cords; how to tie a bonnet

cosilana-strik-mutsjes

We have been selling very nice bonnets for a long time, but we regularly get the question: what is a bonnet? How do you tie a bonnet with cords? Why do you use  bonnets? In this blog we explain exactly how and why.

Keep newborn baby warm

After the birth of your child, you will immediately receive the advice to keep your child properly warm. A newborn’s heat regulation is not yet functioning properly. Newborn babies have a hard time retaining their heat. That is why it is very important that you as a parent ensure that the temperature of your child remains constant. That is why it helps enormously if you put wool and / or wool / silk clothes on your child. Wool has the great property that it regulates the temperature well.

Why a hat for a baby or newborn child?

A baby’s head is quite large in relation to its body. Your baby also has an open fontanelle. Your baby’s head is therefore very vulnerable. Your baby loses the most heat through the head. A wool or wool / silk hat ensures that less heat is lost. And that your baby can fully use his energy to grow and develop. A bonnet can also protect your child against an excess of stimuli, such as sounds and images. The hat gives a sense of security.

What is a bonnet?

A bonnet is a round hat that fits very nicely around the head of your child. The hat has long cords that you tie in a special way, so that it stays in place. Your child can wear a bow hat during the day, but also at night. In summer the hat blocks UV radiation and in winter you can wear a normal hat over the bonnet. Or you opt for the wool fleece bonnets in winter.

Why choose a wool / silk hat?

A woolen bonnet is wonderful in heat and cold. Wool insulates, is water-repellent and can absorb a lot of moisture. A silk cap provides protection without being warm. It protects against external stimuli. The bonnet made of wool 70% and silk 30% is therefore the most common. Both materials in a hat together is the best combination. Cotton or synthetic hats are less suitable because they do not retain moisture and do not regulate heat.

How do you tie a bonnet with cords?

If you want to tie a bonnet safely, you need a bonnet with long cords. Our Engel natur hats have the longest cords. This is followed by Cosilana’s bonnets. You can safely tie the hats with both brands. Cross the cords of the bow cap on the chest or go straight down straight under the arms and tie on the back or on the side. This way your baby can sleep or move safely without the bonnet covering the face.

  • Put the bonnet on
  • Cross the cords on your baby’s chest
  • Go with the cords straight under the arms to your baby’s back
  • Depending on how much cord you are left, tie off on the back, side or stomach.
