Buying clothes for a baby can be for most dads – damn stressful especially if you’re buying for a girl!

But what I have found are some handy hints that will mean that you don’t have to worry too much about getting it write or is that right?

I have found personally that what is easy for me is finding baby clothes that are safe and comfortable and hold a few of the following attributes:

* Wide necked pieces to slip over little heads easily – putting on and taking off especially if they have an accident

* Don’t spend $40-5o per item they grow out of them so quickly and you will be disappointed that they only got to wear it once or twice if you’re lucky.

* Domes are easier then buttons and faster even if there are 3 of them usually.

* Easy materials such as merino and cotton they are more elastic for getting around elbows, feet and heads and tough wearing.

* Easily washable and can be put into a bucket of napisan for a couple of days, my wife does this all the time and its great so I make sure the bucket is ¼ full with water and a cap full of napisan it means when my little girl gets her clothes dirty they go in the bucket for a day or two.

* Wash the clothes before wearing to get rid of the excess chemicals – remember little babies do start sucking their clothes around the 3-4 month range.

* Check the clothes for loose threads and any holes they can get their little fingers and toes stuck in.

I love the clothes that Pyper has and they are inexpensive also built to last. Good luck and if you have any horror stories on buying clothes do let me know.
