Enjoy parenthood with the cutest baby apparel

Posted by adairsawyer on April 2nd, 2013

When a new member of the family is on his way, anxiety is inevitable, especially if it is the first baby you have. Besides the fact that your life is about to change completely, there are the practical things, like clothes, baby bottles or baby strollers, you need to take care of. At least that you can sort out easily if you know what and where to look for.

                During the first six months your baby might grow from a half to one inch or around two centimeters each month and gain about six ounces or 150 grams each week. They practically weight twice when they’re five months old than when they were born. The tiny bodysuit and the incredibly small socks you’ve bought when you brought your child home for the first time may not fit him anymore after several weeks, so you are in for buying new baby apparel. Baby strollers will come in handy now for more than a walk in the park every day, but also for some long and probably enjoyable strolls in the mall.

                Since you already are in the mall for new shirts, sweaters or maybe dresses, you might want to take a look at baby strollers too. Even though you already have a fairly good one, you might need a new, bigger pram. Up to one year, your child will grow with two more inches or almost six centimeters and put on another five ounces or around 100 grams each week. It is quite possible he will not be comfortable in the first stroller. The truth is that baby apparel is not the only thing your child will grow out of; you’ll probably also need to change the carseat, for instance, as well as the coats and the shoes that will be too small each following year for quite some time now on.

                An option would be, of course, to choose a large pram from the start. But it is not only a matter of preference as it usually is with baby apparel; there are safety issues you need to consider. If you prefer an umbrella or a jogging stroller, you need to know that most of them don’t recline and don’t have a good support for back and head, which makes them inadequate for newborns. Babies are not able to hold their head at first and they cannot stand up to six months, so, at the beginning, you need one of those baby strollers that are safe for them.

                Picking up baby apparel is really enjoyable. However, safety issues don’t come up only with baby strollers, car seats and toys. You do have to pay attention when you purchase shirts, bodysuits and coats for your child as well. Hooks, bows or buttons can be easily swallowed, especially if they’re too tiny. Besides choking hazards, you also want to avoid rashes, so check the labels before buying a colorful footie or a cute hooded romper. Scratchy fabrics or synthetic materials would never be used by a respected manufacturer for diaper covers, pajamas or any other clothes. And luckily, it is not difficult to find 100% cotton layette sets. You can even find them online. So choose your favorite items and enjoy parenthood.

Purchase the most suitable baby apparel for your newborn and pick up the safest item from the large range of baby strollers you can find online.
