Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many clothes does a newborn really need?

It is suggested to take around 6-8 bodysuits, 4-6 sleepsuits, and additional layering pieces like hats and mittens to get things going.

2. What sizes should I buy first? Newborn or 0-3 months?

It is advisable to buy a little newborn clothing stuff and more for 0-3 months, since babies usually grow out of the smallest size very fast.

3. How should I dress my baby for sleep or going in the car?

Use a footed sleeper or sleep sack for your baby’s sleep instead of blankets. Layers of light clothing would be the best for car rides.

4. What fabrics are best for baby clothes?

Soft, 100% cotton or organic cotton is the best choice. They are breathable, non-allergenic, and mild on the fragile skin of infants.

5. My baby’s clothes get dirty so often. What practical features should I look for?

Look for easy snaps, machine-washable materials, and strong stitching that can withstand several washes.

6. Should I buy lots of “cute outfits”?

Cute outfits are not necessarily always practical. Save a few for pictures or events, and opt for comfort wear for daily usage.

7. How do I manage seasonal clothing for my baby?

Buy small amounts and swap them as the climate changes. Babies outgrow clothing more quickly than seasons last!

8. How often should I update the wardrobe as the baby grows?

About every 2-3 months, since most babies grow up fast and hence change sizes frequently during their first year.
