One of the happiest days of my life is when I became a grandmother. My daughter had just delivered a beautiful little girl and could hardly wait to go shopping for the new little baby girl. I decided to go shopping for cute baby girl clothes as soon as I could so that the baby could go home in the outfit I picked.
The store was not crowded so I was able to take my time in selecting the type of infant girl clothes my granddaughter would need to wear that was both comfortable and stylish. I looked in the racks that were marked for infants and started to select the useful clothes instead of the fashionable infant girl clothes. I felt that at this age the baby needed to be comfortable and able to move around easily rather then be wearing something that is fashionable and not comfortable.
The best type of clothes for a baby to wear at infancy would be a little cotton dress made especially for infants. The dress makes it easier when it is time for a diaper change. A light weight blanket can cover her legs in the house and if it gets cooler a heavier blanket will do the trick.
Since we do live in Florida where it is hot most of the year it was important that I select cotton fabrics so that the baby would be both cool and comfortable. Comfort is more important than having the baby dressed in the latest fashions especially since she would outgrow the clothes in a few weeks. There are many beautiful clothes for infants that are both practical and yet in style and will allow her to easily turn and twist as an infant will do.
Cotton clothes are great all year round for an infant, and if the weather does turn a little cool then a little sweater on top of the cotton infant girl clothes will keep her warm. If it gets chilly in the house then a warm blanket or comforter will keep the baby comfortable while she sleeps.
There are many infant girl clothes that can also be bought secondhand. This will save a great deal of money for clothes that the baby will probably outgrow in a month. However I could not bring myself to buy them for my brand new granddaughter who is so fresh and new. I wanted her to wear infant girl clothes that also reflected the fact that she was new and was wearing new clothes and was the first infant to wear them. After all, second hand clothes mean just that! Some other baby had worn the infant girl clothes first which meant that they were hand-me-downs.
I bought my granddaughter her first clothes that were of a soft cotton fabric in prints and pastel colors that showed that she was a girl. For those who doubted it I also bought a her a white soft hat to keep her head warm.
