Having a baby can be one of the most wonderful times that anyone can hope to experience. However, it can also be an incredibly stressful time, and things can often get overlooked. Don’t let baby wear be one of them.

It’s a good idea to start shopping for baby wear before the child is born, as that way you can be sure that you’ve got everything that you need. To find the right clothes you need to make sure that the comfort is up to scratch – newborns have incredibly soft and delicate skin that can easily become irritated, so make sure that any baby clothes you buy use materials that are as soft and natural as possible.

You should also consider the sex of the baby (if it’s known when you start shopping). It’s always nice to go for pinks for girls and blues for boys, and you can start buying dresses or short sets as appropriate. If you’re waiting until the big day you could always stick to things like yellow or white baby sleepsuits, as that way they can suit both girls and boys.

Don’t forget things like towels, robes, blankets and shawls as well, and use the same rule as you would for clothes – they need to be as cosy, soft and comfortable as possible. Make sure you’ve got booties and gloves on hand as well to make sure your baby stays warm and comfy.
