Baby clothes are typically sized by age. For newborn babies, you can choose between preemie, newborn, or 0-3 months sizes. As babies grow very fast, most parents usually recommend starting with clothes of 0-3 months size.

For the first months, your baby doesn't need many clothes. The essentials are 4-6 short sleeve bodysuits, 4-6 sleep and play footies, 2-3 hats, 2-3 pairs of socks, 2-3 pairs of mittens, and 1-2 sleeping bags.

These are basically what makes up your newborn’s wardrobe, at least until the first 3 months of life. As your baby grows, you can anticipate what other clothing essentials are needed.

To save your baby from any skin irritations or allergies, prefer to buy clothes made from natural materials. The 100% cotton material is most advisable. The clothes should be soft, breathable, and comfortable.
