How to Choose Baby Clothes
Choose washable. Buy clothes that say "machine washable" on the label to avoid the time and energy of hand-washing or ironing. Clothes made from 100% cotton are ideal, since they're comfortable, durable, and they wash well.
Think ahead -- wisely. Some babies never fit into the "newborn" size. Others may even grow out of 3-month-sized clothes after only one month. So, buy items in the 6-month or 1-year size to have on hand. Some clothes can be worn a little big, until your baby grows into them. It’s not a great idea, though, to buy seasonal clothes, like swimsuits or winter coats, well in advance. It’s impossible to predict your baby's size.
