You won’t often see a newly born baby wearing sneakers, socks or slippers, and that’s because shoes are not comfortable for them at such a young age and they can actually prevent circulation, which is very important during the first few weeks of their lives. As they mature into older babies beyond the 2-month mark you can try them in soft footwear likes socks and shoes but you should always make sure there’s plenty of room in there for their feet to breathe. Babies grow at a rapid speed and it’s important to make sure they are taken out of the shoes as soon as they start to get a bit tight. You can spend hundreds of pounds on shoes, which go to waste days or weeks later and that is why many parents put babies in onesies, as these include areas for their feet and they’re very breathable too.
