Looking forward to joining the family soon? Even if you’ve already picked out baby clothes for the new arrival to wear home from the hospital, you may need more baby clothes than you think! In fact, newborns need to change clothes several times a day during the first month. Once the joy arrives (due to lack of sleep and frequent schedule adjustments), it can be challenging to get a lot done, so we recommend that you organize your baby’s closet ahead of time. From newborn clothes to infant and toddler clothes, you can find everything in one place – at Macy’s!

Safety
Safety is essential when buying baby clothes, but busy parents and families sometimes overlook it. Each year, millions of baby clothes are recalled because they do not meet safety standards. That’s why it’s critical to buy baby clothes that won’t cause safety problems.
Don’t buy any baby clothes with decorations such as bows, buttons, flowers and hooks, as they can lead to choking hazards. If a piece must contain embellishments, they should be securely attached. Also, avoid picking clothes with harnesses and waistbands because they can cause strangulation hazards.
When you buy baby pajamas, choose ones made of flame-retardant fabrics (chemically treated) or ones that fit snugly to protect your baby from burns. This applies especially to infant sleepwear in sizes 9-14 months – babies are very flexible at this stage.
Focus on soft fabrics
When buying baby clothes, the softness of the fabric is very important. Ultimately, just like you don’t want to wear uncomfortable clothes, babies don’t want to wear them either. Make sure to focus on clothes made from fabrics that you want to wear yourself.
Comfort is the most important key
Zippers and elastics can cause discomfort to your infant. If you want to buy one with zip or elastic, look out for the dress that has layers of clothes between the infant and the zip or elastic.
Choosing a larger size
This often happens when people are choosing for baby gifts they may have never seen before, so it can be hard to guess their size. If you’re torn between two sizes, choose the larger size. Newborns can grow quickly, and buying a size larger will allow them to enjoy their clothes longer.
Clothes that are easy to clean
You may want to buy clothes made of fabrics that are easy to clean. Babies often spit up, drool, burp and poop. Therefore, choose fabrics that won’t retain stains or deteriorate after frequent washing.
