Baby clothes / dresses


Do you dress your baby in designer clothes?
I am related to someone (not by blood) who dresses her toddler up in stuff like Tommy, Gap, Abercrombie, and expensive mall brands, ect. She is young -- 20 yrs old. I believe that she doesn't have the money to be spending it on expensive clothes. When they are babies-- why give them brand names-- i do know that when your a teenager you want the brand names so why not buy it for them when they are teens? Also, she shows it off like she is so proud of it like she is made of money. I know she is not. My daughter is still an infant and of course I have splurged on baby gear but not on clothes that will be drooled on and stained, also I have been given some used clothes too. Does anyone else here agree?

Best Answer
leave her alone she can dress her baby how she likes. but i do agree with you really...nobody cares what a baby is wearing, they just look at their cute faces!


What age do you think babies should wear normal clothes like jeans rather than baby clothes?
i personally like babies in easy fitting clothes and more all in ones than childrens clothes, but it seems more and more people are dressing their babies in grown up clothes. what age??

Best Answer
i dont really like to put my kids in the whole jean thing until they are walking-whatever age that may be


Baby clothes sizes? How long did your newborn stay in newborn clothes?
Ok so i have quiet a bit of newborn clothes, all ill need. I have a TON of 0-3 clothes. They go from sun dresses to warm winter sleepers. Shes going to be born within 14 days and it stays warm here till middle to end november. My question is after your baby was born how long did they stay in newborn clothes? hoping to squeeze in the sun dresses before cool weather!

Best Answer
My daughter is 4 months this week, and was 7lb 13 oz at birth. 3-6 month Gerber onsies are already too small. 3-6 month sleepers, Carters, are just about too short and constricting. You really want to aim for 6 month stuff at a minimum I've learned. A little loose, and you're okay. Too tight and baby is uncomfortable.


Do I need to wash the Baby clothes i bought brand new?
Im getting ready to become a first time mom and I wasn't sure if i need to wash all the babies clothes I've gotten in the special landry detergent before i put them away or dress the baby in them?

Best Answer
You're supposed to. Some of the chemicals they use to keep clothes wrinkle-free in the stores aren't great for newborns (mostly just too rough on their skin), so it's best to wash them first. In a pinch though, I wouldn't worry about it (like if the only clean clothing you have is brand new not washed and everything else is in the laundry because it's been spit up on, don't worry about it). :)


How do you get stains out of heirloom baby clothes. The stains are probably spit up and formula stains.?
My baby is due in June and last night I began going through my 13 year olds' baby clothes that were spotless when I put them away 13 years ago. Unfortunately, they are now full of stains that appear to be spitup and old formula stains. I need to get these stains out and the dry cleaners will cost a fortune. I have like 20 dresses. Any ideas?

Best Answer
I know this method is used for Antique Tablecloths and napkins....it is a process.....Fill a large tub with warm water and set it in the sunshine....next you will need about 3-4 Fresh Lemons.....and you need to juice them add that to the water.....next you will soak the clothes in this for a couple of hours up to 24 hours....This isn't supposed to harm the fabric or discolor the fabrics. Check the clothes after a couple hours and see if the stains are gone....then wring them out rinse well and wash in the washer.....then dry as you normally would....
Should solve the problem. Below is a couple searches....some say don't do the lemon soak....some say use and enzyme type of cleaner like Biz....some say to use a Bissel Carpet Cleaner...let it dry and vacuum...so many ways to do one thing....

Is it important to you to dress your baby in gender-specific clothes?
I mean, if your baby's a boy, is it important to you that people can tell immediately based on his clothes?

If so (or if not), why?

Best Answer
Not especially important, no.

I couldn't care less whether random strangers know if my baby has a penis or not.


Putting a baby in clothes with rude slogans?
I was out today looking at baby clothes and i found heaps with rude slogans on them

Would you dress your baby in them.

Bad or good or ok

Best Answer 
Definitely not, I wouldn't want my children dressed in anything that had any offensive comments or remarks plastered on them! If they choose to wear that stuff when they're buying their own clothes later in life that will be their choice, but while I dress them I would not let them wear such things.


Any suggestions on the best way to store baby dresses?
My daughter is 16 mos. and I was wondering the best way to store her dresses from past holidays and birthday. I didn't want to fold it up and put it in a box like her clothes that no longer fit. Any suggestions?

Best Answer
but it in a box and have a garage sale! :)) no need to store it up and now you have all the money to buy new clothes!


Would You Ever Dress Up As A Baby With A Real Nappy/Diaper On And Real Baby Clothes For Charity All Day??
Obviously the nappy/diaper and baby clothes would fit you if you are young boy or girl or older boy or girl and be made in your size to fit!

What would you do if you also needed to wee whilst dressed up as a baby?

Would you just do it in the nappy/diaper?

This is not a fetish question just a general question so be honest and no rude answers!

Best Answer
As long as it was for a charity I firmly believe in, I would do almost anything to help raise money, yes, even pee in the diaper if it would help. I look at it this way, I'm already a sight for people to see so what is one more small inconvenience for a short time in order to bring in more money for my favorite charity.

While on the topic, just a reminder, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All you women out there, please get regular mammograms and do regular self examination for breast cancer. This is a disease that kills but can be so easily cured if caught early.

I am personally touched by this. My wife is a 4 year survivor now of breast cancer. She has a left mastectomy in August of 2002 and has had not indication of recurrence at this time. To see her you would never know she ever had it. She is a wonderful loving person and I wouldn't trade her for anything.

Support your local cancer society with your volunteer help and your donations.

Thanks for letting me sound off, this is dear to my heart.

Good luck to all.


When did you start putting your baby in ''big clothes''?
What i mean is putting your baby in EG/ jeans and a t-shirt. My little boy is 5 months old and i love putting him in all in ones and romper suits, it looks so cute, but a friend of mine has always dressed her baby boy in pants and a top. TY :) and have a good day mummys.

Best Answer
Hi

I think baby boys look fab in Jeans and a top from any age! they look so cute.

For me i have a 7 yr old boy but i also have a 9 month old baby Girl and i like her to dress girly im not so keen on Jeans for her i think its because im so Girly and waited 7 long years for a Girl im so into pretty dresses lol

I bet your son looks great dont worry about what others think hunny

Do you dress your baby in more 'cartoon character' clothes, or in little versions of adult clothes?
Hope that made sense.
And I guess this is more for Mother's of boys (I'm not that familiar with shopping for baby girls).

I'm basically asking if you dress your baby in more 'baby like' clothes, like Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh character tops and bottoms .. or do you dress them in Polo Shirts, striped t-shirts, and khaki shorts?

Or do you do a combination of both?

I'm just curious .. =]

Best Answer
I have a variety of all different types for our son. I absolutely love cargo pants and t-shirts on my son! Especially with his big clunky shoes. lol Nothing cuter! Today he was wearing his camo cargo pants and a red shirt with sandals. Typically I wear cartoony types for bed times only, but if I need to I don't mind him going out in a winnie the pooh, or tigger outfit.

Edit: wow looks like someone is a tad bit jealous of you! Jackalynn...envy much?
