When choosing and buying baby clothes
you need to strike a balance between
practical and cute, fashionable and
comfortable, need and impulse, and night
and day. All of these considerations in
choosing baby clothes are made worse by
the fact that babies grow so quickly. You
do not necessarily buy to fit now, but to
fit for the next few months if
possible.
When buying the first baby clothes and
even with follow up shopping as the baby
grows, it can be helpful to remember a
simple rule: The Rule of Three. Your baby
will basically need three types of
clothes: daytime clothes, night wear (or
sleepwear), and clothes for going out.
The baby sleepwear will likely outweigh
the other categories, as sleeping is what
babies spend most of their time doing in
the early stages. But how do you decide
how many to buy of each? That will depend
on how often you want to do laundry but
you will soon find a level that suits both
your routine and the level of cleanliness
and smartness you want for your baby.
Daywear
The clothes you have for your baby to
wear around the home should, most of all,
be comfortable, easy to access for
changing diapers and simple. These are the
clothing articles that your baby will
spend most of his/her time in, so they are
bound to get dirty. When the baby
dribbles, brings up milk, crawls around on
the floor, or does any of the other messy
baby activities, these clothes are going
to bear the brunt of the mess. Because of
this you will probably not want your baby
to wear the best outfits, such as special
gifts, around the home all the
time.
The best clothes for day to day needs
are probably simple body suits. Onesies is
a brand name, but the term has stuck as a
description for this type of one piece
baby wear. You will probably need between
five and ten of these one piece baby suits
to keep on top of daily requirements.
Sleepwear or Nightwear
Baby clothing for sleeping should meet
some of the same needs as the daywear, at
least in terms of comfort and
accessibility for changing. If you live in
a warm climate you may be able to get away
with using similar clothes night and day.
However if you live in a colder region
with colder nights then a warmer version
of the day wear would be needed or heavier
knit pyjamas or similar sleepwear. It is
all common sense and it will not be long
before your baby tells you in no uncertain
terms what she is comfortable in and
cannot stand!
Special Occasions
For outdoor baby wear the parents have
a chance to dress the baby up to look
smart and nice and this is where some of
those baby shower gifts may come into
their own or the baby clothes that have
taken your eye at the local department
store.
These items should still be checked for
their practicality, making sure that
straps, snaps, bows and so on do not
interfere with diaper changing or cause
any discomfort to the baby. You can,
though, show off a bit, and it won't be
long before baby wants to dress up to go
out.
