* When buying children's clothes, the first thing to remember is that they must be easy to put on, easily washable and above everything else, comfortable to wear.
* It is always advisable to buy trousers or skirts with elasticized waistbands and shoulder straps, for a baby.
* Prefer buying clothes that can be stretched and have a wide neck, because they are easier to wear as well as take off.
* Avoid buying clothes that are adorned by lace, as babies can get their fingers caught in the lace.
* Always go for natural fibers as far as baby clothes are concerned, especially in summers.
* Clothes that open in the front and have poppers are easier to put on as well as take off the baby.
* Try to avoid buying clothes that have buttons, as buttons can get off and the baby might swallow them.
* Avoid clothes that have ties attached to them, as the ties can come off easily and you will have to sew them on again.
* Never ever opt for clothes that have rough stitching. They can be uncomfortable for the baby.
* Since babies tend to be picked up by so many people, so many times, it is best to go for clothes that do not need ironing.

Purchasing baby clothes is a very exciting time for a lot of people. Selecting the tiny clothes is fun, however you need to keep in mind not to buy impractical items or excessives amounts as babies grow at very fast rates. So you will not need massive supplies of the ‘newborn’ sizes.

When your baby is first born, she (used female in this content) will spend most of her time sleeping, and as a result of this, you need to pick for comfort over anything else really. Make sure you stock up on the essentials such as sleepers and bibs/booties and other essential comfortable items. A good rule of thumb is to feel the items on your face to see how soft they are before you buy. Also if you are purchasing online, if you do not like the item(s) you should be able to send them back.

Fabric is key for babies. A baby’s skin is very soft and tender and thus the most lightweight and soft fabrics you can find should really be used. One of the most used fabrics for baby clothes is cotton and this is for good reason because it is absorbent and breaths.
