Clothes You Don’t Really Need For Baby
Babies don’t need shoes until they can walk well. Before that hard-soled shoes may actually get in the way of your baby learning to get around. Onesies, socks and booties will keep your baby’s feet warm in the winter months and bare feet are perfect for when it is warm. If you want some nice shoes for a special occassion look for soft-soled pre-walker shoes.
Baby clothes that do up at the back
Dressing a baby is hard enough and if you’ve ever seen one being dressed you’ll notice that they are lying down when it is done – pretty hard to do up buttons when baby is lying flat (and hard to hold baby up while you fiddle around behind them). Also buttons on the back of your neck wouldn’t be very comfortable while you sleep.
Designer clothes for newborns
Newborns grow so fast that you won’t get enough wear (if any) to justify the huge price tags on designer items. Plus they’ll just poop on them when you do try to dress them up for a photo. The most important things to look for in baby clothes are safety and comfort. If you do want a few ‘special’ items of clothing avoid tight waistbands, scratchy frills or fabric, synthetic fibres, hoods and cords or ties that could become choking or strangling hazards.
Adult clothes for newborns
The reason babies wear baby clothes is because they’re practical and safe. While it is cute to put small babies in jeans, T-shirts, or other ‘adult’ clothes, you’ll soon realise they’re uncomfortable for baby and a pain to get on and off at change time. Much better to buy these items for an older baby or toddler.
