That said, there are times when you’ll want to dress baby up. For most occasions, a baby girl will be comfortable in tights and a jumper or dress. This still allows for easy cleaning, but also permits the little one freedom to move her limbs without restriction. (This can be very important if you’re away from home, as some babies become restless if they feel restricted.)
Likewise, it’s a good idea to buy two or three nightgowns or sleepsuits. Lightweight cotton sleepsuits or nightgowns are the best option, because they are warm and absorbent. However, check to make sure
that the fabric is fire-retardant. And as we discussed in our first installment, you should try to avoid too many frilly details like ribbons, lace and large buttons. Not only can these be uncomfortable, but in some cases they may even pose a safety hazard.
We hope these tips on buying newborn baby girl clothes have been helpful. Check back soon for our final installment – and for lots more tips!
