Are you a mom to be confused about giving the best to your tiny munchkin? Are you making a checklist of things your baby may need after landing on the earth? There are plenty of things your cutie pumpkin may need, and you need to pay a lot of attention to each one. Every expecting parent wants to give the best to their babies and imagine them looking gorgeous in different outfits. The first thing on the list would be baby clothes like baby rompers, onesies, swaddles, blankets, etc. People also shop for clothes according to the weather during which they expect their baby would be born.
New parents often get confused with the names. Surprisingly this confusion is not with different baby names but with terms of baby outfits. The struggle is real with baby attires, especially when people tend to exchange words during shopping. For example, the onesies are often mistaken for baby rompers. The prime difference between these two phrases is the bottom of the attire. A onesie has no legs and contains buttons to snap at the crotch. A romper is a sleepsuit that can cover the shanks either fully or partially. Sometimes the rompers even cover the baby’s feet too. They can also be sleeveless or with short or long sleeves.
Things to know before buying your baby clothes:
Fabric.
Babies are susceptible to skin rash—skin rashes and irritations. Choose a soft and breathable fabric, like cotton, rayon, etc. There is an organic clothing option you can prefer for your newborn. Experts prefer avoiding bright dyed clothes for their newborns as they may contain fluorescent dyes that can cause skin irritation.
The size.
When you stack up a lot of onesies and winter wear without knowing the size range, you may find the fit to be small and large that you cannot use for your newborn. The fit of any attire is the prime factor in making newborns feel comfortable. Do not buy clothes that may be difficult to wear and remove. When you are confused with sizes, it is always better to go with the next size so that you can use them later. The size usually ranges from newborn, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months and so on. You may buy newborn dresses, but your baby’s weight may be more that these dresses do not fit. So it is always good to buy some infant dresses and more of the following fit dress.
Functionality.
There are various baby dresses available in trendy designs and styles. These attractive options do not attract you if you do not look into their functionality. Your infant’s body would be delicate, and the head not be steady. So look for options like top knots and front buttons to snap the dress easily instead of wearing it through their shaky heads. There are also options with buttons in the crotch area to change diapers easily without even having to remove the dress.
The climate.
While making your baby’s checklist, the prime thing to consider is the climate during their birth. You can shop according to the environment. If your delivery date is in the winter, you will have to keep your newborn cosy and warm. You may need to shop for sweaters, gloves, winter caps, and other winter essentials.
