Best Clothing Options For New Babies

Choosing baby and toddler clothing can be a fun experience. Most mothers enjoy the process of finding and selecting cute baby clothes. This is due in part to the fact that we all enjoyed this activity as little girls. What mom doesn’t love to dress up her new little baby in fluffy dresses or cute coordinating baby boy suits?

No doubt, a personalized baby outfit would be even more fun! Personalized baby clothes make great baby shower gifts as well. Sending a little romper bubble, overalls or fluffy dress with the name of the expected arrival will surely make a new mom’s day. There are plenty of websites and stores that offer adorable outfits personalized. If you find something fabulous that is perfect for a shower but it does not come personalized, be sure to check your local yellow pages for embroidery shops. You can get an item embroidered for as low as $7.50. Just be sure to check the time frame they will complete the job in. You would hate to have your gift miss the baby shower because it is still at the embroidery shop.

If you are a parent looking for your baby’s first wardrobe, how do you decide on proper baby clothing that will fit throughout various stages of growth? How do you build an entire wardrobe for your child and still stay within the specific limitations of your budget? These and many other questions are of great concern to the parents of ever growing and changing infants and toddlers. Fortunately, there are ways to dress your baby appropriately while keeping your budget in check.

If your budget is extremely tight, check your local thrift stores for baby sleepwear. Remember, babies grow very quickly which means there is no shortage of essential baby clothes and sleepwear at thrift stores. Most often, the clothes are slightly worn and your dollar will stretch much farther if you purchase from these types of stores.

Now that your baby's sleep time wear is taken care of you'll want to consider his active, playtime, baby clothes. Babies and toddlers love to run, scoot, and play all over the house. So choosing durable baby clothes for this area of his life will be important. His daytime baby clothes will take the most abuse and should therefore be the sturdiest. Look for tough materials like denim or corduroy shorts and pants for toddlers. These will be able to handle the repeated bumps and falls that are inevitable to young toddlers just learning to walk. For babies, you might consider articles of baby clothing that are easy clean. Having an easy clean, machine washable material for day wear will go along way handling baby spills, and spit ups. Frilly little dresses and puffy sleeves may look cute, but durable baby clothing is surely a wiser choice for at home day wear.

Lastly, the most fun type of clothing is the cute special occasion wear. These are the types of clothing that make great baby shower gifts. These are extras that the new parents may not be able to afford. Getting them as gifts will surely be helpful to the new family. Mom and Dad will want these types of outfits for first pictures and other special occasions. Most importantly, make your baby clothing shopping fun! This is a special time that your baby will grow out of sooner than you know it.
