Essentials for Every Baby’s Wardrobe

It's often overwhelming to think of what you need for your baby's wardrobe. This article has all the essentials you need (and a few recommendations on what to avoid) without draining your budget.

Infant Bodysuits

With their expandable shoulders, bodysuits are ideal for dressing/undressing and quick changes. Long-sleeve bodysuits are great for places with severe winters. You can also find bodysuits with foldover cuffs so there's no need to buy extra mittens for your baby.

Since babies' skin is sensitive, consider getting cotton infant bodysuits. Platforms like UpChoose make it easy for concerned parents. They have 100% organic baby clothes in all their starter, regular, and full sets.

Pajamas

Whether they're staying home or going out, babies thrive in comfortable, breathable pajamas! It's helpful to buy footed pajamas with built-in mittens and a 2-way zipper so there's easy access for diaper and clothing changes.

Swaddler

Using traditional blankets puts babies at risk, but swaddlers eliminate that risk, giving new parents greater peace of mind. Swaddlers help babies adjust to being out of the womb and can also function as things like car seat coverings or burp cloths.

You can choose between muslin blankets (which have a bit more of a learning curve) or premade swaddlers with velcro closures that are easy to open and shut.

Toque or Hat

Toques and hats protect your baby's head in both warm and cold weather. Baby beanie hats are great options since they're so stretchy and comfortable. Avoid getting scarves, especially for new babies, since they can be choking hazards.

Drool Bibs

With the spit-up and other explosions babies produce throughout the day, drool bibs keep you from changing babies' outfits more often than you have to. Consider getting a set with several pieces so you have plenty on hand throughout the day.
