Choosing your baby clothes shouldn't be a problem.
Baby needs are basic and simple.
The following are the practical necessities: baby shirts, baby rompers, baby sleepwear, baby bibs, baby burp cloths, and of course, baby diapers.
You may expand these by adding caps or bonnets, bodysuits, socks or booties, stretches, sweaters or cardigans, tops and bottoms, and baby shoes.
When shopping, opt for comfort instead of cuteness.
Snap-crotch bottoms and expandable necklines are advisable as they provide ease of dressing for baby.
Don't forget to check for anything that's loose like snaps, buttons, and hooks as these are choking hazards.
You may also try buying baby clothes in one size larger; this stretches your money as the item is not immediately outgrown.
For baby shoes, soft and flexible ones with velcro fasteners are the best.
Babies undoubtedly need baby diapers so stock up on these items.
Not only do they make the baby dry and comfortable, baby diapers also make a mom's life easier.
Choose whether you want the cloth diaper or the disposable baby diapers.
Both have their pros and cons, so weigh your priorities well.
Cloth diapers may be used again and again since they can be washed over and over again.
However, in addition to the time and energy spent in doing the chore, the washing also involves the use of water, soap, bleach, and electricity (if you prefer to use the washer).
Disposable diapers, on the other hand, offer a convenience that cloth diapers do not.
They come especially handy when you are out traveling with your baby.
They can be a drain on your budget, though, plus they add up to the solid waste in the landfill and take such a long time to degrade.
Cloth or disposable, choose the kind that is of good quality, affordable, and more eco-friendly.
