Baby Clothes Buying Advice
1) Think ahead with sizing: Babies grow extremely quickly - more rapidly than any other point in their life; therefore, it is imperative that this is taken into account before you buy any items of clothing for them. We suggest buying clothing ‘one-up’ from your baby’s actual age, e.g. if your child is six-month-old, purchase clothes that are designed for those aged 9-12 months, as this will give the clothing a longer lifespan. However, babies come in all different shapes and sizes, so it is important to know what size clothes your baby currently fits into prior to purchasing.
But it is not only with regards to sizing that thinking ahead is wise - you should do it all the time. Sales are a great example of this; for instance, if your baby is six months old in January, think ahead to a years time when your child will be 18 months old and in need for winter clothing. Check all the sales racks for clothing that could come in handy 12 to 18 months down the line as it will be a lot cheaper to purchase sale items than it will be to purchase undercounted clothing when it is needed. Be it online or in a bricks and mortar shop; there will always be sales on, so make sure you devote sufficient time to increase your child’s wardrobe in advance and save your self a few pennies at the same time!
2) Be selective: If you’re a fan of up-market or designer baby clothes, always be selective about what you actually buy. Of course, it is entirely up to you how you spend your hard-earned money, but for the price of one designer garment, you could get several cheaper (yet still high-quality) items of clothing for your new baby. With so many options currently available, it is very easy to find cheaper items that look like their more expensive counterparts, yet are a fraction of the cost. If you want to spend the extra cash on expensive items, ask yourself whether or not they are worth the money. If it’s for a special occasion and may only be worn once or twice, is it really worth the extra outlay?
3) Getting a bargain (or ten): Due to the fact that babies grow rapidly, they will quickly outgrow their clothing. Although this means you will have a quick turnover of clothes, it also means that you’ll be able to pick up a lot of bargains from people who have unwanted baby clothes. There are many sites that will enable you to find sellers of such items (think eBay and social media) and pick up numerous bargains along the way. Regardless of whether they’re brand new or have been worn, you’ll be able to get your hands on a tonne of clothing perfect for your baby, without having to fork out brand-new prices.
