Wardrobe Wise

Anyone who is a parent will know that there are a lot of decisions that need to be made when it comes to your kids. One decision will come when you need to pick out a new wardrobe for your children. Picking out pieces that are ideal and designed for children’s needs is a great option.

To avoid buying too much for baby, keep these practical pointers in mind:

• Shopping up is smart. Since newborns don’t stay newborn size very long; some babies have grown out of newborn sizes before they are born. Don’t stock up on small sizes unless your baby is predicted petite. In general, shop at least one size ahead; most six months old babies wear 9, but eyeball before buying because some styles can run much larger or smaller than average particularly imported ones. When in doubt, buy big, keeping in mind that children are growing.
• Seasons change. If baby is expected on the cusp of the season buy just a few tiny items for the immediate weather and larger ones for weather expected in the months ahead.
• Invest in quality clothing. When you invest in quality clothing for your kids, you are more likely to receive articles that are soft and breathable. They can also help to keep a child warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Higher quality clothing will be made of much more durable materials that can last and typically allows your clothes to be passed down and enjoyed by other siblings or after your child grows out of them.
