Baby Clothes Hints and Tips (Buying)

Baby clothes are really expensive, and because your child grows so fast in the first couple of years, these clothes are going to have a very short life. To maximise the wear we need to look at how we take care of them, how we can get wear from them, for longer and how we might save money, if we buy the right things initially.
1. The first thing to remember when buying children's clothing is, they must be comfortable to wear, easy to put on and above all else, washable.
2. Buy clothes with elasticated waistbands and trousers or skirts with shoulder straps. This makes letting down or adjusting easier.
3. Buy socks without shaped heels they can then grow with your child. Try to stick to one or two colors and brands ? this way you will always have a replacement if you lose one.
4. Put extra buttons on dungaree, skirt or dress straps ? This way you can lengthen them as your child grows.
5. Always try to buy natural fibres, rather than man made .The man made fibres don't breathe as well as natural fibres and this can cause your child to get too hot, especially in summer.
