Is anything cuter than all the little outfits in the infant clothing section at the store? Throughout pregnancy, many parents search through all the adorable options and stock up on pieces to begin their baby’s first wardrobe.

Tips for Buying the Best Baby Clothes When You’re Expecting

There are a few things you need to know as you shop for garments for your newborn to ensure you don’t waste money. After all, kids are expensive, and you don’t want to waste money on outfits they never wear. Below, we’ve noted several tips for buying the best baby clothes when you’re pregnant. 

Buy Various Sizes

While sticking to tiny newborn clothes may be tempting, it’s best to avoid this. Babies grow fast, and many loved ones will gift you baby clothes for those early days of your newborn’s life. Rather than stick to newborn apparel, purchase outfits for when your baby is a few months old so that you will be ready when your baby grows out of their newborn clothes.

Moreover, newborns require a lot of care, so you may not have time to shop around for those adorable outfits after delivering your baby. If you buy clothes for when they’re 6-12 months old, you can simply keep the attire at the back of the closet so that it’s out of the way until you need it.

Comfort Trumps Fashion

Some clothing may be cute, but that doesn’t always make it comfy for your baby. For example, little tutus are quite adorable, but they may not be comfortable, especially if the material feels itchy.

Generally, newborns have sensitive skin, so consider the best natural fabrics for baby clothing, such as linen and wool. These materials are hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.

Keep It Simple

Another tip for buying the best baby clothes when you’re expecting is to stick to simpler options. Think about how easy it will be to dress your newborn and change their diaper when you don’t have to fuss with a lot of buttons or bows. If it seems like a certain outfit will make undressing your little one a chore, put the garment back on the rack and search for something else.

Shopping Tip

The simplest clothes have an elastic waist or snap at the bottom. This way, you can get the clothing off your little one no matter how wiggly they get on the changing table.

Shop for Deals

We all love a deal, especially when buying baby essentials. As you shop for brand-new clothes, wait for sales and look for coupons you can use. If you come across a semi-annual sale, buy in bulk for various sizes.

Another option is to buy used baby clothes online or at garage sales. When doing this, evaluate the piece to ensure it doesn’t have tears and that all zippers and clasps work. In doing this, you can buy the best clothing to keep your little one cozy.
