5 Tips on Choosing Children's Clothes

The arrival of newborn babies in the family is an exciting time for the parents. The anticipation of parents in preparing of the nursery, thinking up of names for the little one only serves to build up the excitement when the little one arrives.

Indeed, retailers certainly know how to tap onto the excitement (and purchasing power) of parents. There are clothes and baby products of every conceivable kind. When once in the days of old when choice was limited, today's babies are certainly spoilt for choice. One-piece jumpsuits, baby clothes made out of organic fair trade cotton, or vegetable dyes (for sensitive skins) and polyester - indeed the list goes on.

Should parents buy clothes based on how cute their baby's going to look or should they not put too much thought into how fashionable their tots will be, given that babies outgrow their clothes very fast?

Here, I provide you with 5 tips on choosing clothes for your little bundle of joy:

1. Choice of Fabrics: Quality fabric should be the topmost priority while making the decision of purchasing children's garments as it is directly related to your kid's health. Dresses made up using artificial fabrics like polyester, rayon etc. can be harmful for your baby. On the contrary, cotton-made-dresses that allow sufficient air passing through the clothes are favorable for children's health and skin. Some fabrics are made organically and others contain chemicals, and you should always pick up the organic garments for your kids. Make sure the dresses you buy have nothing attached to them that posses the possibility of your kids getting choked or hurt.

2. Size: Since babies grow very fast, most of the parents and relatives prefer to buy extra-large size for those kids. This is in a way a vigilant decision as it is provides the provision of using those dresses for a long. But, you should put a second thought. Kids are quite prone to put everything in their mouth and those large-size costumes facilitate them with the perfect opportunity to put something in their mouth.On the contrary, wearing them very tight dress can make them feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Try to buy the dresses based on their body shapes, not on their ages.

3. Season: You must consider the season and weather when you grab clothes for your baby. During the summer choose something that will keep the baby cool and in winter something warmer and cozy. Kids living in the area where climate changes pretty frequently should be taken extra care. Nothing is worse than having a wailing, fretful baby who is feeling either too warm or too cold. Dress for the season - choose breathable fabrics such as cotton during summer and fleece during colder months. As a rule, dress according the number of layers that you are wearing, plus one additional layer for the baby. Don't forget to also outfit your baby's wardrobe with clothes suitable for playing, going out or sleeping.

4. Color: Colors have an acute relationship with the heat transmission and that should be considered when you take your baby outside. A white dress is a more reasonable choice when visiting outside in a sunny day.Colors attract kids and rationally chosen colorful dressed will cheer them up which is an important essence for their physical psychological growth. Be smart in case of color. Pick something bright and brilliant; neither too dull nor too much gaudy.

5. Brand: Brands do matter and as a matter of fact a renowned brand offers a superior quality. If you spend a little more and rely on a prominent brand, you will be buying best costumes for your baby in terms of quality, safety and hygiene.

There are clothes and baby products of every conceivable kind. When once in the days of old when choice was limited, today's babies are certainly spoil for choice. One-piece jumpsuits, baby clothes made out of organic fair trade cotton, or vegetable dyes (for sensitive skins) and polyester - indeed the list goes on. Choose the dresses that best fit's your kids, conform to their delight and healthy.
