Points to consider while buying infant clothes As a new parent, and especially if you're a first-time mom like me , your stomach might also do flip-flops at the very sight of newborn baby clothes. So small and delicate, they're adorable and hard to resist!!
With hits and misses, I realised that our goal should be to fill the baby's closet with practical newborn clothes and avoid items that could potentially make the baby uncomfortable;or baby clothes that are a waste of money.;
We also need to consider softness, durability, safety and style. Also , when babies are comfortable, they are happier (which means a more peaceful house) and they sleep better (which means we do too). And with sleep I mean a lot! Most babies sleep up to 18 hours per day , why not make it cozier for them right ? How Does It Go On and Off?
Babies are able to bend in lots of interesting shapes, but it's easiest for everyone if we don't have to turn thr baby into a contortionist for diaper changes and baths. See that the clothing has a full snap opening at the bottom or a long zipper on the front. If the clothes are meant to be pulled over baby's head, be sure the neck opening is soft and very stretchy so you don't have to tug it over baby's head. Easy Care is Important
Unless it's for a very special occasion, baby clothes that can't be washed and dried by machine require way too much effort for most new parents. Check the labels of any clothes you consider for your newborn. You might be surprised to learn that there are more hand-wash-only and dry-clean-only baby clothes on the market than you would have guessed! Baby's Comfort is Key
Snaps, zippers and elastics can be sources of discomfort for baby if they are in the wrong spot or are tight against baby's skin. Look for clothing that has a layer of fabric between your baby and the zipper, make sure elastic is covered and check snaps for rough edges that might be against the skin.
Watch for Hazards on Baby Clothes
While many baby clothes manufacturers are very careful about the kinds of clothing they sell for babies, sometimes dangerous items slip through and make it into stores. Check baby clothes for loose buttons, zipper pulls that could detach, and appliques or embellishments that could be chewed or pulled off and any long strings that could catch on things. Remember that safety standards for baby clothes prohibit full drawstrings that could become caught on things or strangle a baby. Organic cotton
We tend to pick up products which read 100% cotton , but unfortunately cotton is the most sprayed crop in the world ! I can't even imagine the myriad issues it would cause to the baby it has often been treated with harmful chemicals that can’t always be washed away and, thus, could be absorbed by the baby’s skin.This is where Organic cotton comes to play !
Why organic cotton?
The material is superior than ordinary cotton / any other material
Clothes are super soft
They are free from any allergens
They are eco friendly and are the future
