Shopping for Baby Clothes: 5 Mistakes to Avoid

The baby clothing industry is immense. The incredible abundance of brands, materials, and designs can make your head spin. What clothes should you choose for your bundle of joy? Avoid common shopping mishaps by following our guide.

Every year, 4 million babies are born in the US. Parents should focus on quality over quantity as kids grow quickly and have sensitive skin. Chemical-free fabrics like organic cotton or bamboo rayon are preferable.

You can buy clothes for babies like baby girl dresses from the comfort of your home and get the cutest outfits with free shipping. Popular stores have literally hundreds of designs.

babies fall in between standard sizes

1.   Wrong Size

Quite often, babies fall in between standard sizes. For example, the weight and height may correspond to different categories. You cannot go wrong by going one size up. As babies grow quickly, the clothes will fit eventually. In the meantime, you could cuff the sleeves or pant legs. If the size is too small, you have only one option — to return the items. Avoid the hassle by shopping smartly.

2.   Ignoring Safety Hazards

Pay attention to any decorations and elements that may pose a choking hazard. Avoid drawstrings or cords, and make sure any buttons and bows are firmly attached to the fabric if you have to buy embellished garments. Choose flame-resistant sleepwear or items that fit your baby snuggling.

3.   Overemphasis on Gender

Today, many stores offer gender-neutral clothing. The conservative distinction between blue for boys and pink for girls is acceptable but not mandatory. Obsession with gender may cause you to reject wonderful outfits (for instance, charming clothes with the cartoon characters your baby adores).

4.   Overbuying

While it is natural for parents to want the best for their kids, avoid buying too many clothes at once. Babies outgrow them quickly. While shopping is fun, do not go to extremes. Millions of items are discarded every year without being worn. This is unsustainable, to say the least.

To shop wisely, focus on sizing up and purchasing a few items per visit. Look for the perfect balance between practicality and aesthetics. Otherwise, you may end up wasting money on a garment but will eventually be tossed in the trash. Do not contribute to the global waste problem.

5.   Disregarding the Return Policy

Before making any purchase, check the return policy of the store. Online and offline retailers have specific conditions for returns. Make sure you will be able to get your money back, and the procedures are convenient. If you have bought something that does not fit your baby or feels uncomfortable, you can always donate it.

Final Words

Shopping for baby clothes is exciting but also daunting. The sheer abundance of choices may cause decision paralysis. To avoid common shopping mistakes, size up, prioritize practicality, avoid safety hazards, and make sustainable choices.
