How to Buy Cheap Kids Clothes

Between feeding, changing, burping, and soothing, the last thing you want to worry about is baby clothes that take too much effort, rub your baby the wrong way, or are otherwise not worth their space in the nursery. But once you know a few simple rules for shopping, even the most harried diaper change will go more smoothly and your little one will enjoy his new world in comfort and style. 

Go cotton all the way

A new baby is precious and so is a baby's skin, so experts recommend that you opt for either 100 percent organic or 100 percent combed cotton when it comes to purchasing for babies 12 months or younger. You can play around with blends later on, once you know whether your baby has any sensitivities.

Think through the on-and-off process

While snaps, buttons, and zippers can be fabulous embellishments, they can also be frustrating when you're doing a sleep-deprived diaper change or have a wriggly baby on your hands. Look for stretchy neck holes – the ones with envelope-like folds at the neckline are great for sliding over a sensitive newborn's head.

The size on the label is just a s estion.

Every baby is different, and every clothing brand has different standards for sizing. Your child may have long legs or a short torso. He may be a chunky newborn and need to go up a size. Just remember that the size on the label is not a mandate or an indication of how well your child is growing. Leave that up to the doctor!

Aim for simplicity

Check all clothing for harsh chemicals and dyes, and consider limiting pleats, tulle, and bows around the collar during the first 12 months.  Why? After you put that new girlie dress on your baby you might notice that it gives her a rash!
