Newborn Baby Clothes - Tips to Consider Before Buying
July 1st, 2009
Babies have a knack of getting their clothes filthy; it’s not uncommon for a baby to wear 3-4 outfits a day, not to mention babies grow fast. It’s easy to see how baby clothes make a popular baby shower gift. However many people are faced with choices that can seem rather confusing. It’s important find a balance between practical and cute, or fashionable verses comfortable. When considering what outfits to chose you should consider the following guidelines:
- The gender of the baby. Pink for girls and blue for boys!
- Consider ease of changing. The outfit should have easy access to the diaper (like snap crotches) so changes can be as painless as possible.
- Clothes should have snaps at the neckline or a stretchy collar. This will help mom change baby’s clothes.
- The location of decorative items like snaps & buttons should be considered. While these accessories can be cute, depending on the location, they may also be uncomfortable for the baby.
- Since the mother is bound to get an abundance of newborn clothing & babies grow fast, it’s also a good idea to purchase a 6 - 12 month outfit. This will give the baby something to grow into.
