Shopping For Your Baby: Tips

Baby Clothes on the Line

Shopping for a baby can be such a confusing experience since everything looks similar and adorable. You may end up buying the whole boutique if you are not careful. So it is important to know what exactly you are looking for since babies grow so fast and might not even get to wear everything you buy if you splash so much on baby clothes.

When shopping for baby clothes, you should consider size, the material and how comfortable they are. It is important that the clothes be well-fitting; not too tight nor too loose. Tight clothing gives babies injuries while the loose ones aren’t as adorable.

Keep in mind

The beauty of most baby clothes is that they are unisex and can be worn by any gender. When shopping, there are a number of things to keep in mind which will determine how you choose the baby clothes.

Feeding a newborn baby is, more often than not, a messy affair with spillages all over. Considering that and the fact that they have to stay fresh, baby clothes have to be changed often, sometimes up to six times a day. What this means is you should have enough clothes to last them at least two days to give you sufficient to do the laundry work.

Factor in the fact that a baby needs to wear at least one more layer of clothing than an adult to keep warm, you should ensure your baby has enough clothes to change every time they are fed or bathed.

Comfort

Baby clothes need to be comfortable enough for the baby to stretch their limbs without it getting too tight and bruising them. The clothes should keep the baby warm but not too hot that they become cranky or start crying. Neither should they be too light to expose them to the cold to make them shiver. If you are still not convinced you can check out baby shower gifts to buy online and get them delivered at home just in time for that special occasion.

What to consider

Pick clothes of varying colors and designs to give your baby a fashionable look. The best material for baby clothes is soft fabrics made from cotton. Cotton is preferred to synthetic materials like polyester since they allow the skins to breathe in addition to feeling snuggly and comfortable with the sense of touch. Soft fabrics are also easier to wash and dry.

You should, however, avoid clothes with tight necklines that have to be pulled over the baby’s head. They often bruise the baby’s scalp and are quite uncomfortable. Furthermore, the clothes need to be easy to wear, so you don’t have to bend and squeeze your baby’s legs and feet into it.

For sleep time, it is recommended to use baby sleep sacks which are comfortable and don’t have any frills around the neck which might choke the baby or accumulate dribbles and cause sores on his or her skin. The advantage of having a sleep sack, acting as a blanket, for your baby is that they are worn like any other clothes which eliminate the worry whether your baby is properly covered or not during nap time.

Buckles and anything that requires pointed chips for fastening is a no-no for your baby clothes. There is obvious danger in such accessories, and simple buttons should be used instead for baby clothes.

This Thing Called Life Is Trying to Kill Me

Near Death Open CasketAll of us have had those close calls in our life. For some reason though, I seem to be collecting them. Currently there are three that go above and beyond the normal close calls. I personally only remember two of them. I was a little too young for accurate memories of the first one. The other two I actually remember pretty well. Let's get started...

My Near Death Experience #1:

It was something involving an oxygen tent being left open when I was a baby. For whatever reason I had to be placed in an oxygen tent while I was a baby or very young toddler. The nurse came in to feed me and got interrupted by something and forgot to reseal the tent. When the next doctor or nurse came in I was gasping for breath because I wasn't getting enough oxygen into my lungs.

My Near Death Experience # 2:

There was a group of people from my church at a local park one night. I was three of four at the time. My parent's drove in separate cars and my dad decided he was going to head home and was going to stop my the mall on the way. On his way out, he saw my brother's and I playing and stopped to see if we wanted to go back with him or stay a little longer and come back with my mom. I was standing by the front fender on the passenger's side. I was jumping up and holding myself up by pushing down on the hood and fender. I was still trying to decide, but my dad thought I had said I'd stay and started moving to leave. When the car started moving I lost my balance and slid underneath the car. I don't remember the car actually rolling over me, but I do remember being under the car and hearing everyone screaming. They pulled me from underneath the car and rushed me to the emergency room.

The doctor's didn't believe them when they said the car had completely run over me. They said I probably just fell in between the tires and it just looked like they had rolled across my body. While they were examining me the bruises started to show up on my chest. Dark blue bruises in a tread design across my chest. The doctors and nurses couldn't believe it!! They said it was a miracle I was even alive much less breathing normally and no internal injuries. I ended up with just the bruises on my chest and scratches on my hand. Now, before you write this story off. Just remember. This wasn't the 90's when cars are made out of plastic and fiberglass. This was an old Cutlass Supreme, double steel paneled doors, etc. My dad isn't exactly Mr. Slim-body either.

I'd like to try and track down the actual doctor reports concerning the accident and include them. I don't tell this story much anymore. The usual response after I finish is "Well, that explains what's wrong with you."

Near Death Experience # 3

The third near death experience happened my sophomore year in college. 

I wrote about this experience specifically in a post awhile back you can read here:
