Question 1

How many newborn clothes do I need for a new baby?

Accepted Answer

For newborn clothes, we recommend 7-10 bodysuits or onesies, 5-7 sleepsuits, 2-3 special newborn outfits, and several pairs of socks or booties. Newborns need frequent changes due to diaper leaks and spit-up, so having extras ensures you're always prepared between laundry days.

Question 2

What makes cotton newborn clothes better than synthetic fabrics?

Accepted Answer

100% cotton newborn clothes are naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and free from synthetic chemicals that can irritate a newborn's ultra-sensitive skin. Cotton regulates temperature better, reduces sweating, and becomes softer with each wash—essential qualities for newborn wears that will be laundered frequently.

Question 3

Should I buy newborn size or start with 0-3 months?

Accepted Answer

If your baby is expected to be average weight (6-8 lbs), purchase a mix of both. Newborn clothes fit babies up to 8 lbs and 21 inches. Many babies outgrow newborn size within 2-4 weeks, but having those first-day photos in properly fitting newborn outfits is priceless. For larger babies, start directly with 0-3 months.

Question 4

How should new born baby clothes fit?

Accepted Answer

Newborn infant clothes should fit comfortably without being tight around the tummy, neck, or limbs. Look for soft, stretchy fabrics that allow movement. The neckline should be loose enough to pull over baby's head easily, and bodysuits should have enough length to snap without pulling on shoulders.

Question 5

Are your newborn clothes suitable for premature babies?

Accepted Answer

Our standard newborn clothes are designed for full-term babies (5-8 lbs). For premature babies, we recommend looking for specialized preemie sizes. However, many parents find our softest cotton newborn clothes work well as their preemie grows into newborn size.

Question 6

What are the best fabrics for warm newborn clothes in winter?

Accepted Answer

For warm newborn clothes, 100% cotton remains the best base layer even in winter. Layer cotton newborn wears with cotton fleece or merino wool outer layers rather than synthetic materials. This layering approach regulates temperature better than single thick synthetic pieces and prevents overheating.

Question 7

How do I keep soft newborn clothes soft after washing?

Accepted Answer

To maintain soft newborn clothes, wash in cold or warm water with gentle, fragrance-free detergent. Skip fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which can leave residue and reduce absorbency. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying preserves the natural softness of cotton newborn clothes.

Question 8

Can newborn outfits be used for sleep?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many newborn outfits like sleepsuits and footed pajamas are designed for safe sleep. Ensure they fit properly without excess fabric, avoid loose strings or buttons, and dress baby in layers that keep them comfortable but not overheated. Our cotton newborn clothes are ideal for safe, comfortable sleep.
