4 Things To Consider Before Buying Clothes For Your Newborn

To begin with, we would like to congratulate all the new parents! This is the most blissful period in your lives along with some crazy days lined up. As extravagant as it can get, shopping for the right kinds of clothes for your newborn baby is always a tedious task. Questions like what if I miss shopping for something critical? What if the new fabric (garment) gives my kid’s skin a rash? Oh My Gosh, the doubts are never-ending. 

Parents are always waiting for opportunities to shop. There’s just something adorable about those tiny little outfits that make us look at them in Aww. But before you start shopping for essential clothes for your newborn baby, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. This blog will not only help you buy the right clothes for your baby but will also stop you from overspending on non-critical clothes.

To make your newborn baby’s shopping non-tedious, Genius Baby has a special range of clothes and accessories for newborn baby’s. But first, let’s look at some important things to take note of before your purchase.

1. Sideline Fashion and prioritize your kid’s Comfort:

The biggest mistake parents of this generation make is that they want to click some luxurious pictures with their kids. Aesthetically good looking social media posts have become a priority. Also, they brim over some cute looking clothes and miss the fact about how comfortable will that be? At Genius Baby we recommend simple clothes are probably the best clothes for your newborn. As we all know your new-born has extremely sensitive skin and we want to avoid rashes. Any cute or fancy clothes will not ensure the fabric to be gentle on the skin. We suggest you choose airy soft clothes over fashionable clothes. Go for soft cotton or organic material clothes to avoid skin reactions. In addition to this, babies spend most of their time lying on their back or sleeping, hence, as a parent you can avoid clothes with buttons or embellishments on the back area.

2. Convenience is important:

We are all well aware of the hassle of making children wear and remove their clothes. And now that you have a newborn it's going to be more tedious. Also, It is obvious that you will be changing your baby's clothes more than once a day. This makes it important for you to choose easy wear and remove clothes for them. We suggest loading up your kid’s wardrobe with one-pieces and singlets with wide head openings to avoid unpleasant experiences with wearing and removing clothes. You might also want to invest in light colors that don’t have a possibility of fading. This will also ensure quick washing with no color bleeding issues.

3. Shop according to the season:

While this might seem like a no-brainer, very few of us actually pay much attention to this important rule before buying for our newborn. If your baby is born in winter, light material cotton clothes are probably not the best thing to buy. Also, if you think buying them from now will be a good idea, waiting for summer to arrive - it’s a bad idea, you need to read up on how quickly the body of a baby grows. We suggest, only go ahead buying clothes that are suitable for the next three months after the baby’s birth. Winter would need some woolens and mittens and summer would need some singlets or strappy clothes to keep the air flowing.

4. Buy what you need only:

Because of the sheer pleasure of becoming a parent, It’s quite easy to slip in the trap of over purchasing clothes for your newborn baby. God help those fathers who got a princess. They will buy the full shop which sells dresses and clips, etc. As a parent, we recommend holding on to the temptation of buying all the cute things. You also need to start saving for the future of the baby, think over it - Education, expensive vacations/trips, mobile phones and you will have to wait long for the list to end. In this situation, most of the parents end up buying some unnecessary things and waste their money. For instance, we think shoes are completely useless and impractical for babies as they barely fit their feet and they can cause irritation in the feet. Instead, opt for baby booties to keep your baby’s feet warm when you are outside.

We know that it can be overwhelming being a new parent. But if we can give you any helpful advice, it is to buy clothes for your newborn keeping in mind the above parameters so that there is no regret post buying.
