What to Look For When Buying Baby Clothes
Cost
For everyday clothing, look for budget-friendly options. Babies grow so fast that seemingly overnight, the outfit that fit last week could suddenly be too small. Finding cost-efficient clothing is a smart choice. On the other hand, if you are purchasing pieces that they would use for a longer period of time or for a special occasion, like a snowsuit or a little suit, then upping the budget in the name of quality is a good idea.
Quality
Durable fabrics and well-made garments are key. Baby clothes will need to withstand poop explosions, spit-up, and constant machine washing, and they should not irritate or bother your baby. Look for clothes that are easy to put on and take off, since you’ll be doing that a lot. For parents and caregivers who value organic fabrics, opting for OEKO-TEX certified 100 percent organic cotton can be an affordable choice that meets your standards.
Style
Find clothes that fit your family style. It can also be fun to try something new, like buying matching family outfits, or putting your baby in shirts and hats with silly sayings. Will you be dressing them in gender-neutral styles or are you going all out with miniature pink dresses or blue suits? Experiment to find what works for you and your baby.
