5 Tips to Buying Baby Clothes

Buying clothes for your newborn baby is just as exciting as shopping for your own clothes. Suddenly, everything is 20 times smaller than what you would normally buy. You would think that isn’t a lot of varieties available. However, don’t let the size fool you. In fact, several shopping malls dedicate an entire floor just for baby clothes and toys.

There are shops and establishment that sell only baby clothing items. According to Statista, the baby clothing is a billion-dollar industry. Despite the massive marketing campaigns and the huge selection of baby paraphernalia, what do we really know about buying baby clothes? Here are simple tips on how to efficiently purchase baby clothes.

1. Choose Different Sizes

Babies grow up so fast. They grow taller and gain weight only after a few months. Therefore, there is no point in lingering too long on 0-2 months’ sized clothes. Leave this to your friends and family who will give you presents. When you go out to shop, ideally before giving birth, try to buy clothes of varied sizes. Once you have given birth, you will be too busy nursing or healing that you might not find another time to shop until after six months or so. It is highly recommended that you anticipate this and buy clothes up to the size of a six-month-old baby. You can start shopping for baby clothes such as rompers, dresses, jumpsuits, and onesies at https://laminimas.com/.

2. Buy the Necessities First

As colorful and adorable as they may look, baby costumes should not be on your priority list when buying baby clothes. Stop shopping for swimming gears, Christmas dresses, or sports uniforms unless you have already bought a bunch of towels, shirts, pajamas, onesies, and blankets. These will come in handy when you have a newborn spitting or making a mess all the time. It’s always helpful to have a few of these within your reach when you need them the most.

3. Check Out Used Clothes

Since babies tend to grow out of their baby clothes, you might want to consider buying used clothing from thrift stores. Just make sure that they are clean and the garment is still strong. This way, you can save some money and wait until your baby is grown to buy a more suitable and more expensive clothing that will be used for a very long time. If you have family members who had children in the past, you can buy some of the baby clothes that they are no longer using.

4. Choose the Right Material

Baby’s tend to be very sensitive and the hardest part is that they can’t tell you yet what exactly is wrong. So, you just have to take their crying as a clue. Buying clothes with the best materials is crucial for a happy and healthy baby. In general, clothes made from cotton is a great choice for babies. Cotton is soft, absorbent, and comfortable. They don’t stick too much to the skin which lessens skin irritation. Jersey knit is also a great fabric because of its breathable quality. It is stretchable and dries very fast.

5. Buy Seasoned Baby Clothing

If you live in a country where the weather can change drastically from warm to cold, you need to be prepared in terms of the clothes available for your baby. Buy singlets, thin shirts and pajamas during the warmer season. However, you should also keep long-sleeves, tights, thick hats, blankets, and socks to combat the cold winter season.

NEW Pampers Baby Dry Review

Pampers gave us the Gift of Go Galaw Mornings box so we had the chance to take a closer look of what’s inside the New Pampers Baby Dry.

The New Pampers Baby Dry has 3 channels that helps para maging equal yung distribution ng wetness sa diaper. I know most of you will agree how usually the wetness is concentrated on the center part of the diaper. Yung part na “lawlaw” na di ba? And I know most of you can relate to the thought na yung lawlaw is indication na “puno” na yung diaper.

I am shookt with the new Pampers Baby Dry. Kase all the while, I was waiting for the lawlaw moment, hindi sya dumating ha. Nanay ko nga, akala maghapon lang naka “brief” si Marius and without diaper.

I’m super in love with the nipis factor of the new Pampers Baby Dry and yet it is super absorbent. Minsan iniisip ko, san nangaling yung absorbent na yun eh sobrang nipis nya. Well, it was answered, the new magic gel can do that, and with the addition of the leak channels, I am more than satisfied with our diaper.

Super glad that we choose Pampers. specially now that Marius is at his most likot moment. Galaw lang ng galaw without lawlaw!

Best Cleanser For My Active Toddler: BabyFlo Soap-Free Bath

Our little boy is getting more playful as the day goes by. Since our “porch” was made into reality, we have been spending hours on this area of our house:

Though I envisioned it to be pinterest worthy porch, it turned out even better. It became our tambayan and Baby Marius playground. Sometimes he’s inside the playhouse pretending to be a store owner. He gets all the stones he can from our mini garden and “sells” it as burger or doughnuts. He used his bike to transport all his goodies. And you can tell that his produce are all natural because he use his bare hands to get it haha. Most of the times, he’s with his ate playing (rolling) at the slide. He gets dirty really fast! And because of that, we need to bath him more than 2x a day na.

And he loves taking a bath, obvious naman di ba? Ako lang may ayaw. Feeling ko lang, too much taking a bath or exposure to cleanser is not good for baby’s skin.

A recent cleanser discovery, put my mind at ease. It’s a mild and gentle cleanser for all skin types, specially for sensitive skin. It’s not that Marius have sensitive skin but since he needs to take a bath more frequent, his skin needs all the love it can get from a cleanser.

What we have been using lately? Babyflo Soap-Free Bath

Initial reaction upon first use: Ay walang bula hahaha. Can it really do its job as a cleanser? Ay walang amoy! Bakit ganun haha

Bakit walang bula? Because it is soap free. Bakit walang amoy? It has no fragrance because all the possible components that could irritate baby’s skin delicate and sensitive skin is removed. All left are the ingredients that is safe for babies and effectively cleans the baby.

So how can I say that it is doing its job as a cleanser? It’s a clear sign that Marius skin is smooth and is not prone to itch. Parang sa face yan, when a cleanser is not doing its job, mas prone sa kati or pimples.

That’s a common misconception no? Presence of bubbles means better cleaning? Not all because for Soap-free cleaners, no bubbles, no fragrance, no problem.

So kahit 3x a day maligo si Marius, no problem sa skin dryness with Babyflo Soap-Free Bath because it’s gentle and won’t strip off the natural moisture of his skin.

What I like about Babyflo Soap-Free Bath:

Marius can use it as much as he wants because it’s a mild cleanser and won’t irritate his skin
It is fragrant free (the daddy does not like fragrant cleansers)
It comes in a 500 ml pump and refill. I prefer using cleanser in a pump because I can use just one hand to get the product, while my other hand is trying to prevent Marius from taking a bath by himself hahaha
It’s relatively cheap but the packaging looks expensive. I love the contrast of white and blue and even the prints on the product. The 200 ml Babyflo Soap-Free Bath along with Babyflo Shampoo is I think one of the perfect gift that you can give as a baptismal gift.

Babyflo Soap Free Bath price range from Babyflo Facebook Page. Ang mura di ba? And comes in smaller bottles too. Oh di ba, hindi kailangan mahal ang pagmamahal.

Babyflo Soap-Free Bath

Babyflo Soap-Free Bath is available in Mercury Drug stores and supermarkets nationwide.

What I don’t like: It’s not top to toe wash, but we can always use Babyflo shampoo so it’s not an issue.

Bath time is really one of his favorite activity and since I no longer worry about skin dryness with Babyflo Soap-Free Bath, we can now both enjoy this activity.
