Newborn Baby Clothes
By Alison Oultram
When you are expecting a new baby, one of the most wonderful - but most confusing - events is choosing newborn baby clothing. Like parents all over the world, you may have spent months planning for the new arrival, making sure that you have tried to buy your baby the best of everything you can. But by the time you have bought those newborn baby essentials such as a car seat, bassinet or cot and baby bath, you may be puzzling over exactly which clothes your new baby may need. Hopefully, the new arrival will, of course, get some new baby gifts, but there are some infant clothing essentials you won’t want to leave to chance! Firstly, you need to consider practical issues. Babies get through many changes of clothing in the first few months. Getting clothes stained with milk (or worse!) will happen every day, so it’s best to not indulge in expensive designer clothing, apart from the odd fun outfit, until your little one is older. Prioritise clothes and accessories which are practical as well as cool to look at and you will save yourself a lot of hassle in the first few months of your new baby’s life. As a mum, I can recommend four “must-haves”. These are all baby items which I myself,, couldn’t do without for those first few weeks. Rompers - For ease of dressing nothing beats a rompersuit! They’re also known by lots of different names - rompers, rompersuits, playsuits, daysuits, onesies, babygros, babygrows. Choose a one piece romper with lap (envelope) shoulders for easy dressing and in a cool print (for interest), if you can! Inside-leg poppers are great as it means you can dress baby quickly and if you choose the footless type, they last that little bit longer than babygros with feet. As baby gets older, you might like to avoid dressing your baby in rompers which fasten across the front - a toddler quickly learns that they can unfasten the poppers! Baby Hats - Even if your little one arrives with a full head of hair (!) every newborn baby needs a baby hat to keep their little head warm. Beanie styles look very cute on both baby boys and girls. Sleepgowns - A baby gown is essential for at least the first six month. This is because they keep your baby snug and warm but also provide easy nappy access for night time changes. It’s a good idea to check the nightgown length - buy one just a little bit longer than other brands and it should last until your baby is between 6-9 months. Baby Blankets - A cotton baby blanket is a truly versatile buy - for both the early months and beyond. Make sure that you buy a large baby blanket of at least one metre square. A larger than normal baby blanket means that you can use it at night, as a pram or buggy blanket, or even during the day as a play mat. That way you get lots of use out of your baby blanket before you even remember the times you used it as an extra wrap or baby comforter.

I could not believe the number of items of clothing that one baby can get through in just a few days! It's a safe bet that you will need more romper suits, undershirts (vests), and cot sheets than you anticipate.
