What is Hadagi? & Why is it necessary?

Hadagi is a light kimono-style bodysuit necessary to protect newborns from all kinds of irritants.

Hadagi is usually for 0-6 months old newborns. The baby grows in the warm, protective amniotic fluid of mommy’s womb.  But the moment your baby is born, their bare skin suddenly comes in contact with the air outside and with it all kinds of skin irritation.  Hadagi is made to gently cocoon your baby’s delicate skin as a protective layer. 

While adults might feel like wearing Hadagi under a t-shirt is totally unnecessary, that’s not true for babies. Your tiny baby has just as many sweat glands as adults, with an average body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) and high water content.

Babies sweat A LOT.  Drinking breast milk or baby formula is a whole body workout for your baby, making them sweat all over. That’s why your baby needs Hadagi to absorb and wicker away all the sweat. 

Why is Hadagi made kimono-style?

Changing your newborn’s clothes can be nerve-wracking for many parents. Your baby’s neck is just so wobbly! Kimono-style Hadagi gently wraps around your newborn without the need to move your baby’s delicate neck.

Our Hadagi is an exquisite fusion of MIKI HOUSE’s top-quality fabric and traditional Japanese kimono style. It’s a total must-have to breathe superior comfort into your baby’s everyday to support easier and happier parenting.

Make sure to change your baby into a clean Hadagi whenever sweaty. 
All Hadagi by MIKI HOUSE is expertly made in Japan.

• Overlapping Front that Stays On - The front flaps overlap and don’t easily come undone. Plus, the size adjustable design promises a perfect fit as your baby grows every day.
• All Labels on the Outside - All name tags are sewn onto the outside of our Hadagi to protect the baby's skin from chafing.
• Seamless Fabric at the Underarm - Our hadagi are generously designed with seamless fabric at the underarm for that soft-as-can-be touch against your baby’s skin.
• Durable, Non-Fraying Strings - The size adjustable strings get tied, untied, and re-tied all day long. We reinforced the tips with stitches, so they don’t get frayed easily.

Craftsmanship for Babies.

How many Hadagi should I prepare?

You’ll need at least 5 to 6 Kimono-style Hadagi Bodysuits

Babies sweat a lot.  To keep your sweaty little one clean and comfortable, you’ll need to change them into a new set of Hadagi.  Newborns especially need a lot of changing after spit-ups, diaper blowouts, and other oopsies.  You’ll probably be changing your baby at least 2 or 3 times a day.

Plus, when you take laundry into consideration, you can see why we recommend grabbing a minimum of 5 to 6 Kimono-style Hadagi Bodysuits.  There might be days you just can’t get around to doing the laundry in your first months after delivery.  Believe us - you really don’t want to run out of Hadagi!

Keeping at least 2 days worth of hadagi at hand means less stress for mommy and daddy.  That way you won’t have to worry when skipping laundry day.
