Baby clothes for the first six weeks

Baby clothes for the first six weeks

A little preparation goes a long way when shopping or registering for baby clothes. You'll be changing your baby's clothing several times a day – babies can be messy! – so make sure outfits are uncomplicated and open easily for diaper changes. In general, you want soft, comfortable clothing with no irritating tags or seams.

A note on sizing: It's hard to predict which size clothing your baby will need at first. Many babies outgrow newborn or 0- to 3-month clothes quickly, and some larger babies skip the newborn sizes completely and start with 3-month or 3- to 6-month sizes. Others will start out in preemie sizes and wear newborn clothes for months. The best tip is to buy clothing in several sizes and return what you don't use.

How many of each item you'll need will depend on how often you plan to do laundry, but we've provided rough guidelines below (in parentheses). Make sure to also read Baby and mom gear for the first six weeks to help you shop for other newborn essentials.

  1. This is good to have your post about baby clothes for the first six weeks. There are so many pieces of baby clothing to choose from, but you don't have to buy them all. It is completely unnecessary to buy an infant-sized summer outfit if the due of the mom falls in winter season.
