Here’s A Christmas Shopping Guide to Shop for Infant Clothes If you’re A Millennial Tita

Regarding babywear, consider buying at least one size larger infant clothing since babies grow fast during the first six months. Aside from shirts and shorts, baby hats, socks, and booties are essentials that a newborn can use. If you don’t want to focus on the gender of the baby, get a set of basic white clothes and accessories.

Comfort always comes first: this rule applies to baby clothes. Polyester is often recommended, but clothes made with soft fabrics and a high thread cotton count are more suitable for a baby’s sensitive skin.

Safety is also a priority with comfort since babies are more fragile and vulnerable to germs and bacteria. If you want to ensure the clothes are safe for babies as your Christmas gift idea, see if they are made with hypoallergenic materials. Safety seals are also present on products to guarantee quality, so look for that.

If your new pamangkin is the parents’ first baby, you can almost expect the couple to be overwhelmed, so give them items that can make their daily tasks easier. Clothes that can be removed quickly will come in handy, especially since changing baby clothes is not a skill that can be mastered overnight, and it can be challenging to do since babies tend to wiggle a lot. Also, look for clothing pieces with Velcro closings that are easy to apply and removable bottoms with elastic waistbands. Onesies are also suitable since they’re just one piece of clothing; choose one with snap fasteners.

In addition to this Christmas shopping guide for babies, check if the clothes are easy to wash. Laundry can pile up quickly since babies can be messy. Avoid clothing made with thick materials such as wool and knit weaves since these do not dry quickly.

There are only two seasons in the Philippines—sunny and rainy—but these two are factors to note when choosing a gift. Give sleeveless tops, thin dresses, short-sleeved shirts, and shorts for summertime or humid weather. These can ease the baby’s body heat. Meanwhile, long-sleeved shirts and pajamas can protect babies from the chilly breeze and insect bites for cold days during the rainy season and -ber months.

Clothes with beads or sequins might be cute, but they’re not suitable for infants. Babies tend to put things in their mouths, so small objects may present a choking hazard. Avoid clothes with small removable objects like buttons, beads, and the like as much as possible. If the style is your concern, don’t worry! You don’t have to sacrifice that. Opt for printed clothes with cute cartoon characters that you can add to your Christmas shopping list. Another option would be clothed with well-sewn pop-up designs that infants wouldn’t easily rip off.
