How to Buy Baby Clothing for First Time Moms

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Vicki Rossington asked:


Where do you start?

Buying baby clothing can be tricky business, especially for first time mums, there are so many baby dresses and outfits to choose from! I know I had a difficult time and made some blunders with my purchases along the way. Take advice from the guide below there are plenty of tips from mums on ‘how to buy baby clothing’ successfully.

1) What kind of baby clothing will I need?

Buying baby clothing can be a boggling experience, as your bump grows you will probably start to panic - ‘I don’t have any baby clothes!’ You will probably do what I did and start wandering around all the stores that sell baby clothes, baby furniture, baby gifts and so on. The choice is endless, this is where the danger lies in buying too many clothes for baby.

Too many baby clothes means your baby will only wear them once or twice (or sometimes not at all), babies grow very quickly and the next size up in that special outfit is needed before you know it! Leaving you with the cutest outfits ever, but no VALUE FOR MONEY.

The ideal way to buy baby clothing is to make sure you have enough outfits to get you through the week in a couple of different sizes, but not so many that you have overflowing drawers of baby outfits that haven’t even been unwrapped before your baby gets too big to wear them; or duplicate clothing that you didn’t really need.

Well, to be fair, duplicate baby clothing isn’t that big of any issue really, especially in the early days when baby clothes can only be worn once and usually for a couple of hours and all clothing needs to be continually washed and washed! In the early days make sure you have numerous baby dresses, bodysuits, comfortable playgro suits, and sleeping suits, basic tees, comfortable cotton pants, warm cardigans and coats or sunhats, depending on the season.

Before you buy new baby clothes check what time of the year your baby will be born, it could be around sale time, which is the best time to buy bulk lots of newborn baby clothing that you are going to need.

Once all of the confusion has settled you will have an exciting time buying your first newborn baby clothes, it is much more fun than buying clothes for yourself (honestly) - and then in time you will be having more fun when your baby grows out of that first lot of clothes, you will find yourself a more experienced shopper in the baby clothing department.

Sizes of Baby Clothing:

Sizes of baby clothing vary from manufacturer to manufacturer so we haven’t listed a definitive sizing guide here. Newborn sizes generally start from 0000 but this is actually quite a small size and unless you have a smaller than average baby, you might only get a month or two from this size. The best advice is to pre-buy in size 000 and then buy extra supplies in the 0000 size if you need to after the birth. Check labels for weight and height guidelines before you buy (average birth weight is 3.5kg). baby clothing tips

What to look for when Buying Baby Clothes:



wide necks, or easy fastenings to get clothes over baby’s neck easily

fastenings to enable you to remove and change a nappy without completely undressing baby

snaps / press-studs are easy, safer and quicker than buttons

no rough seams or uncomfortable material - natural, cotton, etc, is best

machine washable

check that buttons are sewn on well (baby could choke on little buttons)

no loose threads that little fingers or toes could get caught in

avoid ribbons and strings that babies can wrap around their necks



Hopefully this comprehensive guide to baby your babies first clothes has been helpful to you! Remember, don’t rush in a buy too many clothes before your baby is born, you can always buy more of the garments you need after the arrival of your newborn.

babies
Sarah Porter asked:


Baby shower gifts are a tradition dating back to the early 1900’s where friends and family would throw a “shower” similar to how they would for a bridal shower - to “shower” the woman with gifts before her big day (marriage or having a baby). In the early days, the guests made most of the baby shower gifts. Umbrellas were a popular symbol of the event because the baby shower was traditionally an afternoon event and the guests would use the umbrella to stay out of the sun, All About Baby Showers.

Today, if the Mommy-to-Be intends on registering, she should do so about a month before the babyshower. This allows the host to send the registration information along with the baby shower invitations. Modern day baby showers are much different and not just for tea. Baby shower gifts range from practical to outlandish. You should check to see where the Mommy-to-Be is registered for gifts before deciding the type baby shower gift to give. Here’s some of the more popular baby shower gifts as well as some creative gifts to give the parents-to-be.

Newborn Baby Care Essentials

Monday, June 29th, 2009
baby care
Guniwan Goonie asked:


Babies are undeniably great gifts for parents. Taking care of newborn needs special attention because the newborns can’t tell you what they want. You need to understand their signs and take good newborn baby care. The only possible sign that a newborn can give you is a long cry. You need to understand the language of your kid and attend to his requirements. First time parents find it especially difficult to handle their babies.

This is very common because these people don’t have enough experience in handling babies. You need to start your search for useful resources about newborn baby care when you are pregnant. Even though you have not done it before, you need to understand essential baby care fundamentals.

The major concern for parents is the stump of the newborn. How to deal with the remaining portion of umbilical chord is often a major issue for several moms even if they have enough experience. All you have to do is keep the stump dry all the times. During bath, the stump may become wet and you have to clean the water using soft cotton balls. The stump will fall off in two or three weeks after which you should give some time and let it heal completely.

You need to know about right clothes for your baby for essential newborn baby care. You have to choose cool and soft clothes during summer. You must keep your baby warm during winter and hence, you need to find proper winter clothing. Once your baby is a few weeks old, you can take him out for early morning sun. This will prevent baby jaundice. Whenever you take the baby out, make sure that you completely know about newborn baby care so that you don’t do any harm for your baby unknowingly.

For newborns, diapers are inevitable. You must always go for popular and recognized diaper brands that are safe for your baby. Even the most soft diaper may be allergic to your baby. You must check if your baby develops diaper rashes. In that case, you should take proper skin care.

Skin care is essential newborn baby care. The skin of your baby is very delicate and you should be careful about choosing the right products for your baby. In case you use lotions or ointments, make sure that it is tested and certified by leading doctors. During initial weeks, sometimes, your baby may have dead cells on the skin and hair. These can be removed using the sponge while bathing. However, if the outer layer sheds heavily, you need to consult a pediatrician immediately.

Naming the baby is a daunting task for many parents because a lot of issues must be considered while choosing names. You can choose one among popular baby names 2009 for your baby so that you can make him star of the year. Some people choose baby names based on sun signs and moon signs. It is important that you give a meaningful name for your baby, because the name of the baby is its unique identity.

Options for Prenatal Care-baby Care

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
baby care
Rajesh Kumar asked:


They will help explain a lot of the choices available before, during, and after the birth and will tell you about labor, birth, and baby care. For more detail go to: www.baby-care-book.com.You’ll also meets other expectant parents with due dates near yours.

 if you’re planning a hospital delivery, hospital based classes can be useful, they’ll help familiarize you with procedures and will include a tour of the labor ward. Child birth educators generally offer classes in hospitals as well as birthing centers, but some communities offer other local venues as well. Ask friends who have young babies to recommend a good class that’s easy to get most child birth classes include guidance on preparing your self for an active birth, in which your partner or birth coach is also involved.

There’s now a huge choice in maternity care, although how wide the choice is will depend on what’s available in your area. Looking at your prenatal options also means looking at your birth options.

Once you know you’re pregnant, your first call will probably be to your family doctor or gynecologist. He or she may confirm the pregnancy with another test, take your blood pressure, and ask when your last period was to work out the due date. Your doctor will tell you the different options for prenatal care available in your area, and you can also talk through where the baby will be born, since these are often linked. Don’t feel you have to make your mind up on any of these issues immediately go away and think about the possibilities before finalizing details.

You’ll be cared for by hospital based doctors, your obstetrician and or midwife. The prenatal care may lack the informality of other options, for more help visit to: www.create-super-baby.com. but if you have any complications, have an existing medical condition, or are having twins, it’s probably the wisest choice to have your pregnancy monitored by professionals in this setting.

In many places, prenatal care is given almost entirely by midwives who are based either in a free standing site dedicated to prenatal care labor and delivery or in a hospital. The comfortable, home like feeling of midwife centers is a comfort to many women who would like to have a natural birth out side of a hospital setting .Many women benefit from building a relationship with the midwives who will also deliver their babies.

You’ll have consultations, checkups, and tests through out your pregnancy to make sure you and your baby are doing fine. Most pregnancies are perfectly normal, but it’s vital to have this check up to make sure all is well and to spot possible problems early, before any harm is done.

Few Guidelines for Your Baby Care!

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
baby care
Naveenk asked:


Babies are a precious creation - you must handle him/her with utmost care. Your baby lacks muscle control, so you have to take extra precautions while holding, bathing, feeding, and dressing the baby. Lift the baby slowly and don’t rush when you carry her/him. Newborns are completely dependent on you.

If this is your first baby and have never handled any baby before, the baby’s fragility may be overwhelming for you. For many parents, just holding the tiny baby is nerve-wracking. For more details go to: www.baby-care-book.com below are few guidelines to follow and within a couple of days, you can become an expert.

1. Holding the baby carefully-For a new parent, who has no experience with infants, simply picking up and holding the little one is scary. Take suggestion from older member in the family and friends. Your baby’s head is big and heavy compared to other parts of the baby. Therefore, it is very important to support your baby’s head and neck when you carry the baby up and lay down. A good way to pick the baby up and put him/her down is with your whole arm, which supports spine, neck and head at the same time. When you are going to wake up your baby, don’t shake him/her, just tickle in the feet and the baby will be up. Some parents like to wrap their baby’s legs and hands in a blanket until they are used to it.

2. Feeding the baby- Feeding the newborn is something that every new parent worries about at first. At this period, babies drink either breast milk or formula. If the mother is breastfeeding, then feeding will most likely occur in every few hours and if the baby is bottle fed, then the gap between feedings may go up to two to three hours. Don’t forget to burp the baby after each feeding.

3. Diapering the baby-Everybody knows how to change a diaper, but when you have to do it yourself, it may get messy. You may feel awkward in first few times, but slowly with little practice, you will handle the newborn with ease. While changing diapers, use a waist-high table with safety straps. Lay the babe on the diaper, fold the front half of the diaper over the baby and tighten it with attached tapes.

For can visit to: www.create-super-baby.com Check the diaper in 5 to 10 minutes to see whether it is wet or not. Do not allow the baby to be in wet diaper for a longer period, which may lead to skin infection.

4. dressing the baby-Excited parents spend enough money to buy good clothes for their newborn baby. Whichever clothing you prefer, look for garments that are easy for you to put on and takeoff the baby like large necklines are easy to slip baby’s head. While dressing, support your baby’s head in one hand until he/she is 3 months old.

5. Bathing your baby- Bath time can be enjoyable if you know how to handle the baby while bathing. Until 10 to 15 days after birth, the baby is generally given a sponge bath and after that a daily bath. While bathing in tub, make sure to hold the baby in one hand tightly, otherwise the baby may slip. Right after the bath, wrap your baby in a towel and cover the head.

6. Make yourself sure to fasten the car seat or stroller every time when you are going out. Avoid bouncy or rough roads as this may upset your baby’s stomach.

It is better to ask for your family and friends to get through this time, which can be disturbing. Nurses can also show you how to hold, bath, change, and burp your baby. Though you may feel worried about handling a baby, within 2 to 3 months, you will get used to a daily routine and turn into a professional parent.

Baby Care Research - 4 Ancient Principles To Keep Babies Happy

Saturday, June 27th, 2009
baby care
Abhishek Agarwal asked:


Dr. Harvey Karp is an Associate Professor of Paediatrics from the UCLA School of Medicine, renowned nationally as a child development specialist and paediatrician. His secrets into making children happy has been passed on to many parents during the past 20 years.

In the 1970’s he began studying medicine , and was surprised that no one had come up with a solution for colic, which affects many babies and is very troublesome. He looked up and read about all the condition to see if there were any clues as to why parents and their children could not overcome this condition, which was a big mystery.

One thing he discovered was that a 3 month old baby’s brain fundamentally differed to the brain of a newborn baby’s. Babies make huge advances in development during those first few months of their lives. He came up with the theory that parents had more expectations of how their babies look and the way that they act, which account for the big gaps into the true behaviour of babies and their nature.

The second most pivotal discovery was that whilst colicky screaming seemed to affect most his patients and troubled their parents, this was found to be nonexistent across several other cultures in the world. This needed more investigation on his part and he decided on embark on finding some answers. The more primitive cultures were found to be backward or behind times, and so were very ignorant in many different ways. There were of course areas, where these cultures had much “wisdom”+ and ours were “primitive” in comparison. He combined all the past information that he was thought to be reliable with some modern techniques, research and observations of his own through years of medical practice in his field of work, and theorised Four Ancient Principles. These were the missing “4th” trimester, the “calming” reflex, the five “S’s” and the cuddle cure - all of these were crucial in how to comprehend our baby so that we develop the ability to able to soothe and comfort them. This will help our baby to develop healthily early on in life and follow a restful slee pattern.

What is Organic Baby Care?

Friday, June 26th, 2009
baby care
Ronald Eapen asked:


Babies today are born into a world where they will be bombarded with chemicals which they are ill equipped to deal with. In fact, the process starts before birth, with the mother’s diet likely to be laced with a chemical concoction the human immune system is not fully designed to handle. Add to that the polluted air she breathes and water she drinks, and the deadly drugs she may be taking, that innocent baby is brought into a world that is immediately hostile to their health. However, there is much a parent can do to minimize the effect of that chemical invasion, and one of those is to use organic baby care wherever possible.

What is Organic Baby Care?

There is no globally accepted definition of organic, although some countries have tried to establish enforceable standards. For simplicity, let us say that organic products should not have been grown or developed with the use of pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers, and have not been genetically modified in any way.

Organic baby care, then, is to bring up a baby using as many organically grown products as possible. Most parents would want to extend that to include as many eco-friendly products as well. So, what sort of “organic” products can play a part in your baby’s development.

Organic Baby Food

Ideally, feeding your baby organic foods should start while she is still in the womb. What the baby’s mother eats and drinks, breathes and has injected into her affect the quality of the baby’s sustenance before birth, and in the breast milk after birth. A mother who lives on organic food as far as possible will get her baby off to a good start.

Once the baby comes off breast milk to solids, it is important to keep as much control over her food as possible. It is very easy to avoid processed and canned food, whose origins you know little about, and may contain contaminants not only in the food itself but the lining of the can. Wherever possible use organic foods and chemical free juices and water in order to give the baby a good start in life so far as nourishment goes. If possible, follow the advice of a holistically trained professional nutritionist to find the right balance of food.

Organic Bedding & Clothing

Many parents these days seek out what they call organic bedding. It may be very difficult to find, but baby bedding does exist that has been made from natural fibers that have been organically grown. However, do look for some genuine indication that the cotton or wool is organic. An item that is just labeled 100% cotton, without any organic certification, is unlikely to be organic but chemically laden. The same applies to baby clothes.

Organic Baby Accessories

There are many baby accessories that can be eco-friendly or even organic. Organic baby wipes and diapers are now quite easily available, and they are items that parents need every day for their baby. Using organic bio-degradable diapers can be a great benefit to the environment compared to using the old style disposables. Many children’s toys are made of natural materials rather than plastics, and even organic teethers, made from 100% cotton, can be found if you search hard enough.

While it may not be possible in this day and age to bring up a completely organic baby, you do at least have the chance to minimize the chemical intake of your children. With trends as they are, more products will be developed as time passes, making your task that much easier.

Baby Care Timer Helps Parents Remove the Stress of Remembering

Friday, June 26th, 2009
baby care
H. Y. Wong asked:


Here is some good news for busy first time parents. An innovative product called Itzbeen baby care timer has come onto the market and is designed to help parents take care of their new born babies.

If you are a parent, you know how hectic things can be in the first few weeks of a baby’s life. Your routines get turned upside down and the distinction between day and night becomes blurred. You are most likely to be suffering from sleep deprivation and one of the first things to go is your memory. However, a baby needs to be fed and to have her diaper changed regularly, regardless of how tired and forgetful you are. These routines should not be left to chance. Fortunately the Itzbeen baby care timer will help you keep track of these routines, ensuring that your baby gets the attention and care that she needs.

The Itzbeen baby care timer has got 4 separate count up timers with optional alarms. The first 3 timers are used to count how long it’s been since the last changing, feeding and sleeping (or waking). The last timer can be used to count anything, for example how long since the baby was last given medication.

Here is an example of how you would typically use a timer. Let’s say you feed your baby and you press the feeding timer button. The timer starts counting upwards. A quick glance at any point later on will show you how long since you have last fed her. Furthermore if you want to be regularly reminded, you can optionally set the timer to sound an alarm after, say, 2 hours. This ensures that your baby is feeding at regular intervals, which may be something very important for certain babies.

Here is another example of how you can use it. Let’s say one evening you ask your mom to babysit your baby as you need to be away from home for a few hours. Before you leave, you show your mom how to use Itzbeen. When you come home, without asking your mom, you can immediately see how long ago since your baby was last fed and the diaper was last changed. It can also show you how long your baby has been napping. These are all really useful information to help you make sensible decisions regarding the care of your baby.

Other minor features such as nightlight, backlight and nursing reminder switch round up the package. The baby care timer is light and thus easy to carry everywhere.

All in all, this inexpensive baby gadget will be well appreciated by parents of new born babies. It helps parents remove the stress of remembering things!
