Whether you are a first-timer or regular, shopping for babies can be exciting and fun. This is because babies have a lot of adorable styles to choose from. New baby clothes trends are always emerging. However, that is where the fun ends and confusion begins. New parents have to deal with conflicting ideas of what to choose. They may get tips from friends and family but find it hard to follow through. This leaves them perplexed as they find that those tips were only personal viewpoints. You may read a lot of dos and don’ts about baby shopping that makes you a little crazy. At Inspire Baby Wear, we have combined some workable tips to consider during shopping. Remember that your bundle of loveliness deserves the best. These tips are useful even if you are shopping for baby gifts.
Check the Fabric
Little ones are susceptible to illness as their immune systems are not as strong as adults. Allergies and skin irritations are some of the challenges that parents have to deal with. Many aspects trigger skin allergies in babies. These involve the type of fabric used or its texture. Today, due to high demand some companies use a lot of chemicals to hasten the process of fabric manufacturing. These chemicals could be harmful irritants. When they are in contact with the baby’s skin, rashes start to flare up. Furthermore, other fabrics such as nylon and polyester are heat retainers. These may further worsen the situation. To avoid all of it, you can choose organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, or soy-made fabrics. They are 100% hypoallergenic and won’t irritate your little one’s sensitive skin. At Inspire Baby Wear we use high-quality bamboo to make our clothing including our popular baby girl rompers.
Choose with the Season in Mind
Weather changes can affect your baby’s well-being and may prompt some ailments. To safeguard your baby from such illnesses, choose warm and cosy clothing during the cold seasons. When in summer consider the ones that boost comfort and breathability. Organic cotton and bamboo make the best baby clothes to wear during both the cold and warm seasons. Bamboo is naturally thermal regulating which means it will keep you warm during winter, but also has the ability to keep you cool during summer as it is 30% more absorbent than cotton. You can check some of our gorgeous bamboo baby rompers suitable for summer at Inspire Baby Wear collections.
Choose Easy to Wash Clothes
Babies are very active little beings. You can expect all kinds of messes from them as they explore the world around them. You cannot control that. They spit, burp, and even poop. When you select clothes that are stain retainers, you are sure to end up with non-usable clothing. In the long run, this will drain your pocket because of the need to constantly replace them. To save yourself some money, choose easily washable baby clothes. Inspire Baby Wear collections are made from bamboo which means the fabric is easy to wash and dry.
Choose Clothes that are Easy to Put On
You don’t need baby clothes that can create a tug of war while trying to dress your little one. Clothes that are only worn over the head are a disadvantage. These are due to being extremely uncomfortable to babies. So opt for ones with simple snaps and buttons. It will even make it easier for you when you want to change your diaper. Choose baby girl rompers with snaps and buttons for easy wear.
Don’t Forget to Keep it Simple
Preferring elegance and style for your little one is not a crime. Nonetheless, it is advisable to choose simple clothes for a normal daily routine with your baby. This does not mean you downplay elegance if you so desire. You can select a few special clothes. You may also realize that simplicity means elegance. Colourful baby rompers can make your baby girl look very classy when the right design has been chosen.
Size
Babies easily grow out of their clothes. When shopping, you can choose clothes that are slightly above the current baby’s size so you will not have to discard them too soon. An added benefit of bamboo baby clothes is that they seem to last longer than your baby clothes. My baby girl is now two and half years old and still fits comfortably in Inspire Baby Wear’s bamboo baby romper that is sized for 12-18 months old and she is an average-sized baby compared to others her age.
Consider the Cost but don’t Sacrifice on Quality and Durability
Choose clothes within your budget range but it's not worth going for cheap, low-quality short-term wear. What you shop for today can be a good quality hand-me-down tomorrow. So opt for high-quality, long-lasting clothes. Follow these guidelines to make your baby shopping experience a success. Plus you will fill your little one’s wardrobe with gorgeous clothing. That is what we aspire for you at Inspire Baby Wear. Check out some of our baby collections on our online store.
