10 More Quick Tips for Buying Baby Clothes
Old and new, borrowed and blue
It seems like a simple topic. However, once you’ve been dressing a baby not only morning and night, but also after every liquid burp, overfilled diaper, and muddy adventure, you’ll soon develop a good sense of the characteristics of your baby. the baby clothes that make sense… and the ones that just aren’t! However, if you don’t want to wait that long, here are 10 more quick tips for buying it.
1. Pajamas: The parent’s lifesaver!
Once babies are unswaddled for sleep, they almost invariably remove all blankets during the night and then cry when they are cold. A baby sleeping bag is the best solution to this dilemma: a zippered cotton and polyester bag that they can’t get out of.
2. Buttons or zippers?
If you have a choice, opt for baby clothes with snaps. The buttons are too long and the baby with zippers has to be unzipped all the way from top to bottom to get to the diaper.
3. Shopping for skirts
Skirts on girls are mainly for winter; Otherwise, they usually end up as crowning glory for a great look at your baby’s diaper. In winter you will have stockings under the skirt, making it a little more presentable. Make sure that her waist is not too tight on her.
4. Coloring clothes for children
Boys usually wear blue and brown, girls pink and yellow. However, many parents get sick of seeing boys in blue and girls in pink! Since most of these gifts you receive will likely be in these ‘safe’ colors, when you’re shopping for your own baby clothes, it’s best to branch out a bit, color-wise.
5. Jumpsuits or outfits?
Jumpsuits are exceptionally easy – just find one piece of these in the morning, and don’t worry about missing socks! However, spacers are much more aesthetically flexible. It’s nice to have a mix of overalls and “big people clothes” for your baby.
6. Turtlenecks
These are great in winter, but often get covered in slime and milk. Some children also get irritated with them. Buy just one to see how your child fares in this style of baby clothes.
7. Pants
Always buy baby pants with an elasticated waist – zippers and buttons are invariably too tight or too loose.
8 hats
Babies’ skin burns VERY easily; they will definitely need a hat as part of their basic baby clothes. Keep picking it up and putting it back…
9. Preemie clothes
You can get clothes for premature babies from 8-O. However, there is a much greater variety available online than in stores.
10. diapers
A word to the wise… there is almost no difference between ‘no brand’ diapers and the more expensive ones. Save yourself the cash for non-toilet baby clothes!
