1) Fabric first (summer-friendly)
- 100% cotton or cotton-rich blends for daily wear.
- Look for soft jersey for sleepers and loungewear.
- Avoid heavy synthetics in peak heat; they can trap sweat.
2) Fit and sizing that saves money
- Choose a comfortable fit—babies grow fast, and tight fits cause fussiness.
- For in-between sizes, go one size up for longer use.
- Prefer easy neck openings, snap buttons, and stretchy waistbands.
3) What to check before you buy
- Stitching feels smooth (no scratchy seams).
- Colors don’t bleed easily (wash once before first wear).
- Elastic is soft and not too tight.
- Care label matches your routine (machine-wash friendly).
4) A simple “starter set” (per age)
Newborn (0–3 months)
- 5–7 bodysuits
- 3–5 sleepers
- 2–3 light swaddles
- 2 hats (seasonal)
Toddler (1–3 years)
- 5–7 tees/tops
- 4–6 shorts/leggings
- 2 comfy sets for home
- 1–2 going-out outfits
