Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of one-piece outfits should I buy?
Onesies make dressing and layering a snap. Look for easy-entry head openings with shoulder snaps and leg and sleeve cuffs that aren't too tight.

What kind of one-piece pajamas should I buy?
Soft, cotton-footed pajamas keep your baby toasty. Gowns with drawstring hems keep infant feet covered and allow quick diaper changes, especially for newborns.

What kind of undershirts should I buy?
Shoulder snaps or bateau openings at the neck make it easy to slip on and off. Crotch snaps keep shirts from riding up.

What kind of sweaters or jackets should I buy?
A button-up or zipper garment is best, as many babies hate anything pulled over their head, especially something tight. Fleece is a great choice for lightweight protection from the elements.

What kind of caps should I buy?
Soft caps hug baby's head to keep warmth in. Widebrimmed sun hats protect tender skin. Look for hats with neck flaps (FlapHappy.com) for extra protection, and a chin tie to keep on when tiny hands discover what they can do.

What kind of socks should I buy?
Pick socks with enough of a cuff to keep them on without gripping too tightly. Choose a few heavier pairs (or slipper socks) for colder days. For babies that are pulling up, look for socks with rubberized grips on the soles.
