Newborn infants are the most beautiful, and a wonderful gift that god has bestowed upon us parents. Having this bundle of joy brings in so many emotions we have never felt before. It is indeed God’s blessing that he makes our every wish come true.

Baby clothes are more than a necessity and as parents we will have to make sure we purchase the right clothing to keep her warm or cold. Every country changes from season to season from fall to winter to summer and we need to have the right attire at all times. For first time mommies it is an overwhelming job but thanks to the boom of internet you have many online forums and sites specially catering to every need of your child.

When you have just delivered the good news to friends and family it happens a lot that you are flooded with loads of newborn sized clothes. Bummer this is the common mistake done by friends and family trust me every mother will agree with me on this one. We would appreciate newborn clothes of all sizes.

Babies will grow within weeks and all those clothes would be a total waste of the effort put in. We in India have a tradition that we as parents are not allowed to purchase any clothes of our baby until he is born. It is an age old tradition and has changed with the newer generation. When personal shopping for yourself you have to be very cautious not to get carried away by just the smaller size choose clothes that last a whole good year.

Baby girl clothes

Shopping for decking up your princess

For me personally, your child is your very own reflection as a person. I feel the way the baby is dressed shows a lot of you as a parent. As parents you will leave no stone unturned to make them the best in the world. Nothing in this world can beat the baby girl who looks so angelic in pink. A neatly dressed and all blushful in pink is sure to grab a lot of attention and make heads turn.

I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter who is turning two years this April 19th and guess what her birthday dress color is it is pink. It is not just me but many parents who are just following this trend of pink for girls. I have always been intrigued with as to why the color pink was the only predominant color available in the market. The idea of pink for girls might come from the European legend that baby girls were born inside delicate pink roses. Almost every culture, one stereotype emerges: pink is associated with girls, blue with boys. Unfortunately, there is no consensus of opinion on its origin. I had read somewhere on the internet at the time she was born that at a time when certain dyes were quite rare, pink dye was readily available and therefore inexpensive.

It will just take some time before you realize that they have grown and that little bundle will sit up, crawl, walk, run and even play hide-and-seek with you and make you run all around the home. You cannot undermine that the appropriate clothing everything that is fancy may not be the ideal and comfortable choice. Today market is flooded with many options from trendy to classic there are different boutiques who will offer you a lot of variety. The entire clothing line would include her dresses, bibs; shoes ensure they fit her well as toddlers grow at a faster rate. Make sure that you are prepared for even the grossest of things associated with the kids growing up, entire dribble, spit and make appropriate changes likewise.

In the summer, baby girl clothes should be soft and airy. Winter baby girls usually consist of satin and woolen sweaters. On the other hand, spring dresses may have pastel or light colors.


Baby Boy Clothes

Shopping for a prince charming

Shopping for a baby boy is not such a fun job, as many parents who have been there seen it know that there is a limited variety when it comes to boy. Parents may love and be excited to shop for the little bundle of joy only to be disappointed with the selection for your little boy.

There may be five girls' racks as opposed to one or two boys' racks. This is a thing of the past a thing which my mom or grandma could associate too as all they could find for my brother were some pants and regular t shirts. But we live in a different world today; the designer boutiques cater to boys clothing as well, Clothing for male toddlers usually consider of the manly sports such as football, golf, cars and cartoon characters. There has been a huge fashion statement when it comes to baby boy clothes now you can find not one but many options. You can have collared shirts, suits, cargo pants or short pants, blue jeans, and designer garments.

Dress your precious boy in organic or cotton clothes that are the talk of the town now. Your kiddo will be the prince charming at an early stage but not many can find it to fit in their budget. Many parents by the time they have second or third kid will know where to bargain hunt and find the best buys. The end of the season clearance sales will offer you an unbeatable price you will not be able to resist. You should have an eye for fashion and you will never go wrong in dressing up the future prince charming who will rock many hearts later.

I am sharing this info on taking good care of the clothes too in this hub, this may be off topic but every mom should know how to keep the baby wear clean and germ free. I would want you to care for the clothes and keep them best for a long time.

Cleaning up the clothes

For first time moms this can be the most overwhelming decision to make as to how they would wash baby clothes? Babies have the most sensitive skin when they are born. Cleaning clothes does not have to be a cause of worry and with proper knowledge and care you can complete the task with ease.In the initial few months and days, they have special needs to keep them soft and cosy. Baby clothes can get very difficult to wash they vomit, pass stools and baby food leave the clothes messy and difficult to clean. The use of detergent has to be minimal as the harsh and harmful chemicals may cause a rash or have an adverse reaction on baby’s skin.


I have a two year old and learned this process that makes cleaning the clothes in the best suitable way for my little kiddo. Here are some handy tips that may come in handy when washing baby clothes.

  • It is advisable to avoid the use of extreme harsh detergents for baby clothes as this may in turn irritate the baby skin. We have to realize that the baby needs are very much different than the humans and hence special care need to be taken.
  • Many of the soaps and detergents available in the market contain perfumes and this scent may leave an allergic reaction. A mild detergent is more than suitable for cleaning all the dirty clothes.
  • It is a common myth that clothes washed in warm water will ease the stain removal but it increases the chance of growing bacteria. Always use cold water to wash them and the clothes will stay in the proper shape till a long time.
  • Once you are done washing use a proper disinfectant as dettol or savlon as the final dip such that it kills any bacteria and disinfects them and leaves it germ free.
  • In india we always wash our clothes with hand and dry it in the sun as the sun rays will kill any germs if any. You can always use a drier to dry the clothes as well for the same results.

"Pink to make the boys wink" :)

Happy 2nd birthday to your little Princess!

Buying clothes for girls is always fun, there are so cute. Buying for a boy is a bit more difficult, the choices are not as cute and of course you can not accesorize the way you do with a girl with little hats, hair bands and other girly things.

I did recently shop for the new little prince next door. That was so much fun!

What cute clothes! I agree, there are a lot more cute options for girls than boys, but I always thought all of my children looked adorable in anything...

We have a daughter with very sensitive skin. Instead of buying Dreft, I usually just buy Purex Free and Clear. It's about half the price of Dreft here, and works just as well.

Happy second birthday to your little one!

I like that you talked about choosing detergents in your hub. I find that here in the United States this isn't as often discussed as it is at least in Europe (I can't speak for other areas). I hope that this hub reaches enough of an audience to make a difference in the way that baby's clothes are washed!

You're right about the boy's clothes, too. I'm seeing so many cute girl things right now and not nearly as much for boys. Thankfully we have a daughter and don't need to worry about it right now!

@circusmama and everyday miracles, thanx for dropping by..

It must be difficult for a sensitive skin baby im glad you found the right clothes.. your kiddos snap in the profile is too cool..

I have been in europe myself for 3 an dhalf years and i can so agree that the wide variety of softeners and detergents made me realize how particular one has to be with clothes.. I feel we should always get the value of money, purchasing clothes requires proper maintenance for it to last long.
