27.05.2019

What a variety of children's stores nowadays: at every step on the street and in the Internet! The eye rejoices and is lost in this abundance. Many parents at least once, but bought baby clothes not in size. Well, if the thing turned out to be big, but if it is small? To avoid such disappointment, you should be well-versed in two things. The first is the body parameters of the child that you measured correctly. And the second is the correct determination of the current size of clothing, and depending on the manufacturer. So, let's start our "excursion" with initial preparation - measurements of the child's parameters.

Will it or won't it? This question worries all mothers when buying clothes for children.

Calculator

The main indicator for most manufacturers is growth. To measure it accurately, place your barefoot child against a flat, vertical surface, such as a wall. At the level of the top of the head, make a mark, and then measure the line on the wall with a centimeter or ruler. With age, children show individual characteristics of the structure of the body. Someone is fuller, someone is thinner. Someone has longer legs, someone shorter. One baby has a wide chest, and the other is the other way around, so it is important to determine at least 5 more parameters, in addition to growth (there are more than 10 of them in general).
To measure the circumference of your chest, slide a centimeter under your arms through your ribcage and shoulder blades (we recommend reading :).
When measuring the waist, it must not be pulled tight, the tape must remain free.
When measuring a child's thighs, the tape should go over the buttocks.
To measure the length of the sleeve, first bend the child's arm a little and only then take the measurement: from the shoulder joint to the wrist joint.
To measure the length of your trousers, run the tape from the waist to the ankle along the side seam of the leg.

For children under 3 (maximum, 5) years old, the main parameters will be age and height. But, the older the child is, the more important the other metric indicators are for determining the size of children's clothing: chest, hips, waist, etc.

Most likely, over time, you will find your favorite manufacturers, whose things not only look great on their own, but also fit your child perfectly. What manufacturers can you find on the Russian market? How to determine the size of children's clothing? Let's sort it out one by one, including with the help of our tables with the sizes of children's clothes. Let's start with our domestic production, and then we'll talk about foreign manufacturers from Europe, the USA and China.

For young children, it is important to know only height and age, the rest of the measurements are needed already at an older age

Children's clothing from Russia

Domestic manufacturers are obliged to sew things in accordance with GOST. It is important to find honest manufacturers who really comply with the standards and carry out tailoring according to the declared Russian sizes. With such a manufacturer, you will not have any hassle. In fact, this is the only thing that matters when buying domestic items. Find the match between your child's parameters and size according to the table below and go for a good shopping!

Buying foreign things is associated with additional risks - you need not be mistaken with unfamiliar sizes. How to figure it out? As always, we are helped by a table of sizes of children's clothing, but now with a foreign gradation. Please note that some manufacturers sew things in such a way that folded pants and sleeves look great. In this case, you can choose things to grow. Very cool, right? Children grow up so fast!

If the pants are a little too big, you can fold them

With age, boys and girls have more and more different physiques, and foreign manufacturers take this into account. After 3-5 years, it is worth using tables by gender.

After six years, different size charts are used for boys and girls

Sizes of children's clothing from China

It will not be superfluous to understand the peculiarities of Chinese things - after all, we have a lot of it in Russia! The main difference is that our manufacturers are guided mainly by height, while Chinese ones are guided by age.

On things from China for children who have come out of infancy, there are markings with the letter "T". For example, 9 T or 10 T. "T" means the number of years, i.e. 9 T - things for a 9-year-old, 10 T - for a 10-year-old, etc. It is also important that the domestic size range is wider than the Chinese one. For example, for babies under one year old in China there are 4 sizes, and here - as many as 6.

Chinese sizes differ significantly from Russian sizes, so you need to carefully choose things

When the baby is born, literally on the delivery chair, you are told the baby's height and weight. On a tag that is put on a handle or leg next to the mother's name, the parameters of the crumbs are also written. Now you know the first dimensions of your tomboy. Call your family and tell them this information so that they can pick up everything you need to be discharged from the hospital.

If you are already a happy mommy, it is easier for you to decide on the size of your baby. But if you are just waiting for the birth of a little one, when buying things for a baby, be guided by the indications of the last ultrasound scan, as well as by the size of your own and your spouse. The taller and larger the parents, the greater the growth and. Small parents almost always have small children. Accordingly, parents of average height and physique will have a baby with average statistical data.

Dimensions at birth

It is laid down by nature that boys are born with a weight of about three and a half kilograms, and girls are 200-300 grams more graceful than boys. That is, the weight of newborn boys is 3.4-3.5 kg, and girls - 3.2-3.4 kg. The height of boys and girls depends on the family height of the parents. Measuring children at birth, obstetricians and nurses of the maternity hospital state the growth from 45 to 58 cm.

In the maternity hospital, you will definitely be informed of the first dimensions of the newborn - its weight and height

Why do parents need to know the size of their children?

Caring parents update their baby's dimensions on a monthly basis. Knowing the anthropological data of children is necessary not only in order to buy them pretty things, but also to track the dynamics of their development.

There are special tables of optimal sizes established by WHO. They indicate: height in cm, chest, waist, hips, head, foot length in cm, weight in grams.

Of course, every baby is unique and develops in its own way. But if parents closely monitor the size of newborns, they will notice in time deviations in the development of physical data and will inform the district or treating pediatrician about this for action. Because a significant inconsistency with developmental norms may indicate some kind of disturbance in the body.

Normally, for the crumbs of the first half of life, an increase in weight is about 20 grams per day, an increase in height is 1.5-2 cm, an increase in chest circumference is 1.5-2 cm per month.

The size of the baby must be monitored not only in order to buy clothes for him, but also so as not to miss any deviations in his development.

How to measure your baby

Knowing the parameters of the clothes, parents can roughly calculate what size and what size of clothes to buy for a newborn. To do this, it is enough to measure the baby.

Height is the easiest to measure. Lay an unrolled centimeter tape on a horizontal surface. Place the child parallel to the ribbon so that the crown of the head coincides with the number zero. Straighten the legs at the knees and see at what mark the heels are. This number will be the height in centimeters. Normally, babies grow up to 2-3 cm per month. Check if there are abnormalities, tell your pediatrician about it.

Chest circumference measured in centimeter at the highest points of the chest and back. Breast circumference of newborns is on average 30-32 cm.By three months, in healthy children, the breast becomes 6-8 cm more voluminous, by six months it grows to 45 cm, by nine - up to 50 cm, and by one year old - up to 52 cm.

Head circumference it is measured with a soft tape along the line above the eyebrows, along the convex part of the back of the head. Normally, the head circumference at birth is about 35 cm, and at three months it becomes about 40 cm.By six months, all sizes increase, the head circumference is already 44 cm.Further, the violent growth of the newborn slows down, at 9-12 months the head circumference is 46-47 cm ...

Foot length measured with a ruler from the longest toe to the back of the heel. You need to know the size of the foot so that the leg in the new booties feels comfortable and looks elegant.

The table shows how many centimeters the length of the foot increases and what kind of shoes to buy for the baby. By three months, small heels are 7-9 cm, by six months - 9-11 cm, by nine months - 11-14 cm, and by one year old - 14-15 cm.

Going to the store

Going to the store to shop for the baby, parents choose things in accordance with the accepted values. Almost all manufacturers of baby products make clothes for babies according to their height. That is, when a baby grows from 50 to 58 cm, size 56 will suit him. Please note that children's things are sewn loose, not tight-fitting, not restricting movements, so take your baby size 56 clothes calmly. Of course, if you have a large butuzik born, take a closer look at the next, 62 size. But usually babies grow up to such growth by the third month.

See the size and height chart by month:

	Months	Height in cm	The size
1	0-3	50-58	56
2	3-6	59-64	62
3	6-9	65-70	68
4	9-12	71-76	74

The table shows that age categories are taken into account for three months, that is, up to three months, up to six months, up to nine months and up to a year. And although manufacturers sew clothes according to different standards, the generally accepted difference between sizes is 6 cm: 56-62-68-74.

Dimensions according to GOST

For the production of children's goods from Russian manufacturers, there is GOST R 53915-2010, instead of GOST 1994, which has been amended and supplemented. Depending on the technical conditions, clothes for newborns are divided into products of the first, second and third layers:

The first layer is clothing that adheres to the baby's skin. This category includes diapers, undershirts, sliders, caps, scarves.
In the second layer - blouses, trousers, undershirt dresses, that is, things that are in limited contact with the skin.
The third, upper, layer of clothing - an envelope, jacket, upper pants and so on.

The sizes according to GOST take into account not only the growth of the baby, but also the girth of the chest and waist. Here, the dimensional parameters differ by 4 cm, and not by 6, as in European ones. With growth up to 62 cm, children are offered one size - 40, and up to 80 cm - 44.

The size range according to GOST includes such parameters as bust and waist

Some mothers believe that such a size range is inconvenient, since the growth of the newborn is almost not taken into account. It turns out that only a baby who is born will have to choose clothes that will be just for an almost one-year-old child. In this case, the baby will look baggy, ugly. And mothers like it when their babies look like little angels. Therefore, parents dress crumbs in clothes by size, and not by growth.

Clothing requirements

When purchasing clothes for a newborn, carefully read the label, which, in addition to the size, indicates the composition of the fabric, compliance with the requirements, and the manufacturer's address. According to GOST, it is established that the clothes of the first layer should be made from natural, environmentally friendly fabrics and sewn with natural threads. It is unacceptable for a newborn to wear T-shirts, shirts and other clothes over the head. Additional non-natural decorations are allowed only on outerwear.

It is sometimes difficult to compose a children's wardrobe for your child, and the reason for this is the difficulty in choosing the size. In order not to make a mistake when buying, it is worth studying the size tables of different age categories. They will tell you how to determine the size correctly, and the correspondence table will help you to understand the required "dimensions" with a minimum error.

Foreign online stores attract attention with a large assortment of children's clothing, and seasonal discounts save the family budget. But since foreign manufacturers have different standards from Russian ones, parents often run the risk of buying things for their children that are not in size. So, translating the sizes of the United States into Russian, you can see that the ratio differs not only in the number system, but also in marking.
The table of sizes by age will help you choose clothes for your baby, sewn according to the European standard. But mainly parents should pay attention to parameters such as height and chest girth. Sometimes a size that is one to two sizes taller than the child may be appropriate. This is especially striking when choosing T-shirts, form-fitting T-shirts from underwear sets, they are sewn according to the minimum chest girth.
Clothing sizes for children from 0 and older will help to choose clothes for a child to grow. In the first three months, babies add size every 1-1.5 months. After three months to a year, babies grow one size more often - every 3-3.5 months. Then growth slows down slightly, from 1 year to 4 years, the crumbs add size every six months. And children over the age of four grow by about 1 size for the whole year.

When measuring the parameters of a child for choosing clothes, the following shall be measured:

waist circumference - measured with a measuring tape without the abdomen pulled in at the narrowest point of the waist (visually);
hip girth - measurement is performed with a tape attached to the most protruding points (going through the buttocks);
chest girth - a measuring tape is pulled through the armpits, shoulder blades and nipple line;
The crotch is the measured length from the inside of the thigh from the groin to the ankle (edge of the garment). A crotch seam helps to find out the size with greater accuracy when choosing trousers, rarely - for underwear;
sleeve length - measured with a tape in centimeters, starting from the shoulder joint to the wrist (along the entire length of the arm).

How to correctly measure the parameters of a child?

Height

The sizes of clothes for children by height are indicated by Russian and European manufacturers. Growth is always measured first. For a child from birth to 2 years old, this parameter is measured in a horizontal position using a special meter ruler or a fixed centimeter tape. Height should be measured from crown to heel.

For children over two years old, it is easier to measure height in an upright position near the doorway, leaving a mark at the top of the head with a pencil and then measuring it from the floor with the same centimeter tape.

Waist circumference

It is measured in the same way as it is done in an adult - a tape with centimeters is fixed at the thinnest point of the waist. An important point when taking a waist measurement with a centimeter tape is that the child does not pull in his stomach.

Bust / hip

A measuring tape wraps around the child's chest or thighs, applying to the most prominent points. In this case, it is imperative to take into account the protrusion of the abdomen.

Head / neck girth

The correct choice of a headdress for a child depends on the accuracy of this measurement. When taking measurements of the volume of the head, the tape is carried out starting from the middle of the forehead, along the most protruding places. Taking measurements of the girth of the neck mainly takes place during individual tailoring of a thing in a workshop. When measuring the girth of the neck, the measuring tape is loosely wrapped around it.

The length of the sleeve

A measure equal to the number of centimeters from the point of the base of the shoulder to the end of the thumb denotes the parameter of the length of the sleeve. It is measured in an upright position with a soft measuring tape.

Leg length

The length of the legs (crotch seam) is determined by measuring the distance with a soft tape measure from the groin area to the ankle. It is necessary to measure the crotch seam when sewing school uniforms, jeans, etc.

Brightly colored fabrics can cause an allergic reaction, therefore, children's underwear under 3 years old should be calm, neutral shades.
Underwear made of natural fibers (cotton) is breathable, does not irritate the skin and is very pleasant for the body, which is important when worn for children of all ages.
Decorative elements (elastic bands, ruffles, lace) on underwear can be beautiful, but with constant contact with baby's skin, they bring discomfort and provoke irritation. It is best to choose high-quality kits with seamless technology - they provide the necessary ventilation to the body and are very comfortable to wear.

What is important to pay attention to when measuring and choosing the size of caps for children:

The size of a cap or hat is very simple to determine - you need to measure the circumference of the head with a measuring tape. The size of the headgear that is relevant for the age will exactly match the head circumference in centimeters.
When it is important to use the tape with divisions correctly. It should not be loose or too tight.
In the first 12 months of life, the head of the child increases by about 1 cm every month, so the headdress bought for a 3-month-old baby will become frankly small in 4-5 weeks.
In boys and girls of infants, the head circumference (and, accordingly, the size of the headgear) may differ slightly.
Significant deviations from the indicators in the table are an important reason to seek advice from a local pediatrician.

Measure the child's parameters (hips, chest, height) just before the purchase. Take measurements of the child wearing underwear. The accuracy of measurements will make it possible to choose the size that best suits your baby.
During the first year of life, children gradually manage to demolish 5-6 sizes of clothes. Consider this when buying things for babies - the child will grow up quickly, so get the size "with a margin".
If possible, buy demi-season and winter sets of clothes only after trying on your child. The sizes of children's clothing up to a year are especially important to consider when purchasing separate warm overalls. The chosen model should be moderately free, not constrain the movement of the child, and not be too large. Jackets and coats allow a large flow of air with a margin, which is critical for health at low temperatures, so they should not be purchased "for growth."
When choosing clothes from French brands, pay attention to the correspondence of the presented size and height of your child - as a rule, clothes from France are "small" by 1 unit.
Germany and Italy produce clothes for children in the main "big size", so you can safely take a child a thing in size or smaller - if you plan to wear the purchased goods immediately after purchase.
Children's clothing from China often differs from the size grid in the smaller direction, so you should not trust it. If fitting is not possible (for example, when buying from an online store), contact the seller to clarify the specific dimensions of the item. Alternatively, you can specify the parameters of the child and select the appropriate size together with an online consultant.
American sizes often depend not only on the growth parameters of the child, but also on his gender. Therefore, manufacturers often indicate two different tables of clothing correspondence: for boys and girls. Also, US sizes differ from others in letter designation (this applies to the sizes of children over 2 years old).
European and Russian sizes are focused on growth, therefore, knowing the parameters of the child, it is not difficult to choose the right thing. However, the grid of clothing sizes from Europe is designed for larger babies - manufacturers are trying to make things for babies more free, not restricting movement. This should be taken into account when choosing models of children's trousers, dresses, etc.

Today, shopping malls, markets and online stores provide an opportunity to fill the wardrobe of your favorite daughters and sons with brand products from all over the world. Most often, they buy children's clothes and shoes without trying them on, especially if these are things for a baby. It is not always possible to determine by eye, and the numbers and letters on the labels often seem incomprehensible and do not give the necessary information. How to make the right choice and understand, for example, whether size 26 is suitable for a child? What are the jeans of the American manufacturer or the sweater of the European brand designed for?

In order not to clog the closets with clothes and shoes of the wrong size, you can use the tables and always know exactly what will fit and what will be small or large.

Baby clothes

When choosing bodysuits, men, pants and overalls for the little ones, it is important to always remember that there is free space in the groin for a diaper. Once full, even the most advanced and ultra-thin baby hygiene products can increase dramatically in size. Therefore, it is imperative to take this fact into account by adding a few centimeters to the growth of the crumbs.

Important nuances for a note

Before choosing things according to size charts, there are several important points to consider:

Not all children are the same, and the figures below are averages based on statistics. Therefore, you cannot just look at the numbers and make a decision based on them. For example, the size “26-28” indicated on the label is suitable for what height of the child? The run is large - from 80 to 98 cm, so you need to take into account the complexion (thin or plump), features of the figure (long legs, narrow shoulders, or, conversely, a wide chest). In general, show a little logic.

Little kids stretch very quickly, so you shouldn't buy outfits back to back. For example, size 26, what is the height of the child? The table shows the data - 80-86 cm. This means that with a height of 78-79 cm, the baby will already feel comfortable in such clothes, and in a couple of weeks, most likely, the “suit will fit” as it should. But for a baby a little higher than 85 cm, size 26 may already be cramped and too small.

How tall should a child be when choosing outerwear? Here it is worth considering the length of the cold season, during which the child will wear a jacket or overalls. It is recommended to select one size larger so that you can put on a warm sweater or leggings under your outerwear and at the same time do not restrict the baby in movement. The length of the sleeves or legs can almost always be adjusted by simply tucking in a little. For example, outerwear size 26, what is the height of the child? Following the data from the tables - no higher than 74-80 cm.

Little feet running along the path

When choosing shoes for a child, there are also important points to remember:

Foot size by age and length: domestic standards

The child's leg develops and grows by age and structural features very individually for everyone, so it is better to refrain from buying used shoes. Putting on other people's sandals and boots can lead to improper formation or deformation of the foot, as well as a violation of gait.

However, it is important to remember a few basic rules.

For babies: fashion is good, but comfort comes first! A two-year-old baby will be absolutely indifferent to which couturier these jeans or a dress are from, but if it is inconvenient, then crying and whims are guaranteed.
For older children: as soon as a child begins to show interest in his own appearance, it is imperative to take into account his taste preferences when choosing clothes and shoes. This is one of the ways to express yourself and form your personality, therefore, the phrase "wear what you gave" is definitely not suitable for harmonious development.

With the advent of a child in a family, parents have a lot of new worries and troubles. One of the important issues is the choice of clothes for the baby. In the first months of their child's life, parents still do not attach much importance to the size of clothes for children. Until the child begins to walk or at least sit, his clothes should be just soft and comfortable. Rompers, bodysuits, overalls and sweaters for a newborn appear in huge numbers in the form of gifts from relatives and friends. Babies do not even have time to put on many things, because in the first months children grow up very quickly. However, sooner or later, parents are faced with the question of how to determine the size of the child's clothes.

Having entered a children's clothing store, and asked to show the thing she liked, every mother will hear the question - what size? Many mothers name the age of their child, believing that the same clothes are suitable for small children. However, even the smallest sizes can vary significantly. If the height of one child at five months is 58 cm, and the other is 65 cm, then it is natural that these children will need things of different sizes.

Most manufacturers of children's clothing use the height of the child to indicate its size. This measuring system is convenient and suitable for toddlers under the age of four. At the same time, parents should take into account that the sizes of clothes for children are focused on standard-build babies. The size of a baby at 1 year old can vary significantly. It depends on the degree of activity of the baby, his nutrition, physical and psychological development. Experts from all over the world agreed that every baby is individual and there is no single system for all children. Below is a table of clothing sizes for children under one year old and a size table for one year old to four years old.

For children over four years old, in addition to height, other anthropometric indicators are used to determine the size of clothes. One of them is the weight of the child. Also, the volume of the chest, hips and waist is often used.
