There is such joy and excitement when parents and grandparents find out they will be adding a new baby boy to their family. Everybody cant wait to find out the sex of the baby so they can shop till they drop, buying toys, shoes and clothes. The amount of clothes stores have for baby boys is endless!
Yes everyone gets that “oh how cute” impulse and buys everything off the shelf, but when that bundle of joy gets home, are all those clothes really necessary? What should parents and grandparents really be looking for when they shop for their new addition? Is fashion really of importance and is second hand clothing OK? When that baby boy comes home I can guarantee stylish clothing will be the least of your problems.
Shopping although can be a wondrous experience should also be a practical one especially when shopping for baby boys. When shopping for the first few months of a baby boy’s life you should think of what the baby will be doing, most likely he will be at home doing three things, sleeping, eating and pooping.
Now think about those three things when purchasing clothing, for sleeping the baby will need pajamas something simple to keep him warm or depending on the season something to keep him cool. As for eating the baby will spit up most of what he eats those first few months, buy clothing that can be stained, are easy and inexpensive to replace such as onesies. Last but not least pooping, as a parent you will be changing diapers it seems for the rest of your life, So buy infant clothing that will make your life easier, something you can snap on and off, nothing to difficulty like pants with buttons and snaps all the way down the leg.
Simplicity is the key when shopping for baby boys. Fabrics can be of the up most importance when shopping for clothes, some babies skin at the newborn stage is very sensitive make sure to buy fabrics that can breath like light weight cotton. Buy clothing from newborn to 24 months, Infant boys do not stay one size for very long for example some boys only stay in the newborn stage one week, others may stay longer it depends on the child, big babies will be soon in toddler boy clothing, so purchase a wide range of clothing sizes. Second hand is always the way to go, It saves you money on things your baby will only need for a short time, just remember to wash it throughly.
