Are you expecting? Perhaps the thought of "How do you buy clothes for someone you have not met yet?" already crossed your mind. We understand, because how does one shop when you do not know what size your baby will be? And how do you buy practical clothing when you have never had a baby before?
To help you out, here are some tips in buying newborn baby clothes in Singapore.
Go neutral
Buy gender-neutral newborn clothes as they won’t be worn long and newborns do not tend to get their clothes very dirty so they will still be in pristine condition by the time your next baby comes along.
Start with the standard size
Wait to buy most clothes after the baby is born. Buy a few items in sizes 0000 and 000 then stock up once you know more about your baby. Also, you are likely to receive quite a few items of clothing as gifts.
Go with the safe pieces
Clothes with press studs are easier to handle than buttons, especially in the middle of the night when the baby is crying, and you are so sleep deprived you cannot hold your head up straight. Zippers are good but can buckle a little and make clothes look weird and uncomfortable.
You can never go wrong with onesies
Consider buying singlet suits as they do not ride up on small babies, and they can stop older babies from taking off their nappies. If you plan on using cloth nappies you might prefer normal singlets as having singlet suits tight over cloth nappies can cause moisture to wick from the nappies to the clothes.
Buy more outfits for photoshoots
During photoshoots, you need to make sure you have at least two (as they will no doubt ruin the first with baby spew or a poop explosion as you are just about to walk out the door). There is no need to have too many, they are likely to be impractical, and they will only wear them once or twice.
