How to shop for your first baby’s wardrobe

                                                                                         

Bringing a new baby home is always a great excitement, especially if it’s your first baby. There are many things to shop for when preparing for the new baby and one of the most fun things to shop for are clothes.

The most important things to look at when assembling your baby’s first wardrobe are:

1. Types of clothes – in order to have flexibility and suit all types of weather, you should make sure you have at least a dozen sleepers, a dozen shirts, half a dozen to a dozen bibs (a winter wardrobe should have more), 2 to 4 caps and half a dozen socks or booties.

2. Fabrics – The most popular fabric for newborn clothes is 100% cotton. In order for the cotton to be soft enough you have to make sure it is combed cotton. More fashionable items will usually be made of mixed fabrics or woven. In that case, a cotton undershirt will be most comfortable for the baby.

3. Sizes – Baby’s clothes are sized by month. Since not all babies are born the same size, and they certainly do not grow up at the same pace, some babies will fit into 0-3 months suits till they’re 4 of 5 months old, while others will grow out of them by the first month, so make sure to also purchase a few 3-6 months items in your newborn’s wardrobe.

4. Ease of dressing - dressing a newborn is a task that takes time and patience, so if you want to be able to dress up quickly, just make sure to purchase items that are easy to put on and are planned for that cause. Big and easy to fasten openings and comfortable buttons will do the job.

5. General quality – good quality fabrics, flat and flexible seams and the right proportions and cut. This factor is usually something you learn with experience or other parents’ recommendations.
