Buying baby clothes is one of the first genuinely fun parts of getting ready, and also the one most likely to leave you with a drawer of things that never got worn. A small, well-chosen wardrobe in the right sizes does more work than a big one.
Sizing, and Why Newborn Barely Counts
Australian baby clothing runs 0000 for newborn, 000 for around three months, 00 for six, and 0 for about a year, though every brand cuts slightly differently. Most babies move through 0000 in a matter of weeks, and some skip it entirely, so a handful of pieces is plenty before your baby arrives.
The size worth buying properly is 000. That is where babies settle for a while, and it covers the stretch when you are out of the house more and washing constantly. Buying a size up is rarely wasted, since sleeves can be rolled and a slightly loose bodysuit still does its job.
What Actually Gets Worn
Zips and press studs decide everything in the first few months. A growsuit that opens all the way down means one hand free during a change at 3am, and a bodysuit with envelope shoulders comes off downwards rather than over a messy head, which you will appreciate more than you expect. Natural fibres earn their place here too.
Organic cotton, bamboo blends and merino sit better against new skin than synthetics, breathe through a warm night, and hold up to the number of washes a baby wardrobe goes through. Australian weather also asks for layers rather than one heavy piece, so a singlet, a bodysuit and a cardigan will carry you through more days than a padded jacket will.
Browse Baby Clothing by Type
Most parents build a wardrobe one category at a time rather than all at once, and it is easier to shop that way:
-
Onesies: bodysuits, growsuits and zipsuits, the foundation of the first year and the pieces you will buy most often.
-
T-Shirts & Tops: layering pieces for warmer days and for the stage when your baby starts wearing two-piece outfits.
-
Pants & Shorts: leggings, tracksuit pants and shorts, including footed styles that save you from losing socks.
-
Knitwear: cardigans, jumpers and knitted leggings for cooler mornings and air-conditioned shops.
-
Dresses: for occasions, photos and the days you feel like making an effort.
