The Cute but Practical Baby Clothes to Add to Your Registry

From spit-ups to blowouts, you may find yourself changing your baby’s outfit a few times per day. It’s a good idea to keep their wardrobe stocked with basics such as bodysuits and pants. You can find multipacks of tops and bottoms that coordinate for easy outfits—and they’re often budget-friendly. We recommend having about seven bodysuits or rompers and three to five pants (double that amount if you’ll be doing laundry once per week!).

Get the zippers, always the zippers (seriously, you’ll thank us). Gowns are also helpful in the newborn period for easy middle-of-the-night diaper changes. Look for 100% cotton or breathable bamboo materials so they’ll stay calm and comfy all night long. We recommend having about four pajamas on hand.

Baby socks and shoes are notorious for slipping off of tiny baby feet and ankles. Booties are a life-saver since they fasten with a button or Velcro around baby’s ankles. While not all socks can hold up to excited kicking, the following picks will actually stay put. Start out with two pairs of booties and five pairs of socks.

A head-to-toe outfit not only looks cute but also makes getting your baby dressed for outings a whole lot easier.

These sweaters and jackets will keep your baby warm (and look super cute while doing it). If you live in a really cold climate, you may want to register for at least one bunting. If it doesn’t get super chilly in your area, one to two sweaters should be great.
