| What kind of baby clothing items should you be looking for? *********************************************** All kinds. And don't limit yourself to the posibilities.
It's not necessary to get items that will only benefit a newborn. Not only do babies join the world in all shapes and sizes, but they do grow fast! Too much newborn stuff and mom may find herself in a bit of a pinch. Sure a mom can exchange what you've gotten her, (assuming she didn't already take the tags off for use), but I guarentee she's going to be way too tired for the first six weeks. She's not going to want to stand in line waiting to exchange anything except sleep deprevity. All the more reason to spread your wings and look for stuff that's not necessarily meant for a new baby. It's more than all right to get oversized items. Don't limit yourself to newborn infant items only. Mother to be will appreciate this in the weeks to come.
If you know the sex of the baby, great. That makes your life easier since you can concentrate on a certain look. If not, you'll need to be sure you go neutral. This is easier than you think. Many baby items are thankfully gender neutral; not just styles but colors, and patterns as well. Greens, blues, yellows, whites, purples, reds, solids, stripes, polka dots Other questions to ask yourself are what kind of things will baby be doing? Bathtime - Think soft plush baby bathrobes and slippers Sleep time - Think onesies, gowns, footsies, socks, wee-willy-winkie caps, undershirts Cozy with mom time - Think same as sleepy time but can include baby booties, buttons and looser fits Out in my stroller or ride in the car time - Includes jacet, sweater, pants, caps and sunhats Feeding time - tip: baby cloth diapers make excellent, easy to wash, easy to wipe up food and spit-ups, easy to use and reuse no matter what baby's age is gifts. | |
