Have you started shopping for your new baby's clothes yet? When you're expecting a baby, your shopping list is just about the length of your arm and there's undoubtedly a fair share of not so fun, practical things on it. But baby clothing is one thing on the list that you can really get excited about. So tiny, so cute - ooh and did you see those little baby beanies! However, there's lots of options out there and not all clothing is created equal. When it comes to the best baby clothes you can purchase for your little one, or for a loved one's child, we're breaking it down for you by gender, category and price. Keep reading for our roundup on the best baby clothes brands in Australia in 2022.
What to consider before buying baby clothes?
If you're buying newborn baby clothes for the first time, it can be a little bit overwhelming. There's so much cuteness - tiny beanies, little socks, impossibly cute onesies- but there's also acronyms you've never heard of (WTF is a TOG?!), sizing to wrap your head around, and difficulty knowing what kinds of clothing you'll get the most use out of. When it comes to buying baby clothing, remember to think abotu the following:
- Comfort: Priority number one is making sure you choose clothes that are comfortable and safe to wear. This might mean optiming for snuggly, soft materials and choosing flame resistant clothing, as well as avoiding any embellishments that could be a potential choking hazard.
- Functionality: Sure we all want cute baby clothes, but we also want ones that get the job done as easy as possible. A prime example? Opting for a sleep suit instead of a complicated swaddle wrap.
- Fabric: Linen is not the most comfy of materials to dress your newborn child in 9 times out of 10. Consider choosing comfortable, breathable and machine washable materials. You might also want to consider opting for organic fabrics as they are generally of a high-quality and ultra breathable (and extra safe) against delicate baby skin.
- Colour: Are you shopping for baby boy clothes or baby girl clothes? Everything at The Memo is unisex. If you're not sure what you're having, neutral clothing colours are always a good choice (also for friends and family shopping for your baby).
- Budget: Of course budget comes into the equation. If it's a special birthday dress, then you do you and splash out on something! If it's just a growsuit, remember they won't wear it long and with a growing baby shopping list, you might prefer to save some dollars.
Should I size up in baby clothes?
Given how fast babies grow, it's not a bad idea to size up when buying baby clothes. For example, if you're buying clothing for a three month old baby, it's a good rule of thumb to opt for the 3-6 month old size rather than the 0-3 month old option. Remember, children grow rapidly but you also want their clothing to be comfortable and safe rather than swimming on them.
