When I gave birth a year ago, I received a lot of gifts. Most of them were baby clothing, the rest were toys. At first, I thought I didn’t need all those clothes, especially since most of them seemed too big. After a few weeks, I realized they weren’t enough. Baby clothing is the most used item after the diaper and the baby bottle. Since, I live in a tropical country, I didn’t realize how often a baby would sweat, and my son needed a change in clothes at least four times a day.
The most common baby clothing gifts are onesies, shirts, and socks. I will suggest however that when buying onesies, get those that are buttoned up all the way. It is so much easier to put a baby onesie if they open up rather than from the head. Another favorite baby clothing are layettes, they are usually long sleeves and cover the baby’s legs and feet as well. I find these quite warm and not so practical when you have to change diapers. Whatever you decide to get, I’m sure the baby’s mommy will appreciate it, keep in mind that the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart.
