Baby Clothes tips

The first thing to remember when buying children's clothing is, they must be comfortable to wear, easy to put on and above all else, washable.
Get grimy soiled socks clean by soaking them in a water and washing soda solution before washing. White cotton socks can be revitalised by boiling them in water with a slice of lemon.
Instead of bleach add vinegar to the water as an alternative.
Your babys soft newborn skin can be easily irritated by regular detergents. Wash babies clothes separately using a mild detergent recommended for babies. You may need to spot clean before washing.
Use a fabric protector to spray collars, cuffs and knees of garments, any spills will form into beads and can be easily wiped clean.
Remember the feet. For infants young and old, keeping feet covered can be quite a task. If you go the route of using socks, this is not the time to buy in bulk. Even socks with a good amount of elasticity can slide right off. The alternative--especially good for active older infants who either pull off their socks or leave them in the dust--is to get pants or one-piece outfits with footies attached.
Rub white shoes with a raw potato cut in half, or alcohol, before cleaning. Keep them white by spraying with hairspray – This prevents the polish from coming off and keeps them looking new.

The baby should be dressed in light layers to prevent overheating.
It is important to use a sun hat if the sun is too bright as newborn babies have very sensitive skin.

Double up on favorites. If your child is particularly attached to a certain pair of shoes, or simply insists on wearing sneakers in general, consider getting more than one pair. In the event of a misplaced shoe or an irresistible mud puddle, your toddler won't be left temporarily shoeless.
