After having twin boys I am now considered by my friends as the expert on babies. The most frequent questions my pregnant friends ask me are what to buy for their baby, what to get for their nursery etcÂ…I always tell them that the first thing they should buy is newborn clothing. Parents will need newborn clothing to be ready as soon as their baby is discharged from the hospital. In some hospitals, you will need to have your newborn’s clothing ready as soon if you decide to room in with your baby.
Most expectant friends ask me for a list of the most essential newborn clothing that they will need to buy. The essentials should include body suits, socks, mittens and caps. The body suit, socks and cap should keep your baby warm. I would also recommend onesies that open from the front. Most newborns have enlarged heads so it is easier to change your baby’s clothes if the buttons are on the front.
