 Tips before buying newborn clothes

During your pregnancy, it's natural to want to be as prepared as possible for when the baby is born. This means recording all the essentials: crib, stroller, etc. But you can't forget one of the most important things for your child: clothes! But how do you buy clothes for someone who has not yet arrived? Fortunately, there are plenty of easy ways to buy clothes for your unborn baby. Just keep these tips in mind for choosing baby clothes:

Note the seasons when buying newborn clothes

The weather plays an important role in the type of clothing you buy, and it requires a little calculation. For example, if your baby is born in June when he is six months old, he will be close to the colder months. That means, if you're considering clothes in a 6+ month size, it's actually best to stick with cozy sweaters and long-sleeved clothes for this size bracket.

Newborn clothes are softer

The smaller the outfit, the softer the material you'll want. Newborn babies start out with very sensitive skin, and some clothes may cause rashes, which may worry new mothers.

Choose organic clothing, made from softer materials than others (because it reduces contact with chemicals that may be harmful to his skin), and look for pieces that do not contain materials or things that irritate the skin.

Buy larger sizes

Remember, people love to give baby clothes to new mothers as gifts. Chances are, friends and family will be tempted to purchase clothing in newborn or 0-3 month sizes. But babies grow very quickly in the first days or months and it is very difficult to decide what is suitable for them immediately after birth. Some clothes only fit for a short time while others don't fit at all. So, if you have a lot of newborn clothes, try to replace them with a larger size if possible

Choose easy clothes

We can all get caught up in what looks cute (and yes, we totally go shopping for cute things!) but when the baby actually comes, you'll want things that are easy to put on and easy to take off. Think about clothes with zippers, elasticated pants, or shirts that he can put on and take off quickly

Take advantage of discounts on newborn clothes

The good thing about pregnancy is that it takes nine months. This means that you can anticipate sales times and seize the opportunity, so take advantage of the low prices as much as possible, but pay attention to the season.
