10 things to Avoid When Shopping for Baby Clothes

Shopping for baby clothes is always a delightful experience, yet we are often overwhelmed with the multitude of styles out there and forget to consider the safety aspects of what we’re buying. Here are 10 handy tips to help you pick the comfortable and safe outfits for your baby.

1. Don’t choose clothes that have buttons, bows or any adornments that are not sewed on tight, because they might cause a choking hazard.

 

2. Stay away from synthetic fabrics that may cause baby skin irritation, and consider fabrics derived from natural resources like cotton, azlon from soy,  and rayon from bamboo.

 

3. Don’t buy clothes that are too tight and go for outfits that are easy to put on and take off.

 

4. No need to buy seasonal clothes well in advance for your baby, like swimsuits or winter coats, as he often grows quickly more than you imagine.

 

5. Avoid clothes with buttons and embellishments on the back, as those are completely inconvenient for babies who spend most of their time sleeping.

 

6. Don’t choose colors that will fade too easily or others that are not durable enough once frequently washed and laundered, as you will be washing the baby’s clothes often after each feed or diaper change.

 

7. Avoid bright colors as they may contain fluorescent agents, which the baby will not tolerate if there is excessive contact with his tender skin. Currently, most baby clothes manufacturers are using non-fluorescent and harmless materials.

 

8. Stay away from baby clothes made from materials like nylon and polyester, as they may cause skin sensitivity and discomfort because of their inability to take up moisture and regulate babies’ body temperature.

 

9. Avoid sleepwear that are treated with chemical fire retardants because they are harmful for the baby’s skin. Alternatively pick up the organic pajamas which are always a safe option as they cannot be labeled organic if they are treated with flame retardants.

 

10. Don’t use any headwear while baby is sleeping, as babies cool themselves down by releasing heat from their heads and faces.
