Preparing for a newborn can be an exciting time, however, choosing the right kind of clothes can be overwhelming. Babies need everyday practical and comfortable clothing and a curated list of Baby Clothing Sets can ensure the essentials are on hand without extra spending.

Whether it's getting ready for a new arrival, shopping for a baby shower or making space for new outfits, this checklist can help with baby clothing choices.

1. Choose Everyday Comfortable Baby Clothing

Babies need comfortable clothing and soft fabric is best to avoid causing irritation to delicate newborn skin.

Everyday baby clothes may include:

Bodysuits and onesies

Sleepsuits

Cotton tops

Soft pants

Socks and booties

Lightweight jackets

Comfortable hats

Make sure clothing has practical fastenings for ease of nappy changes.

2. Choose Practical Baby Clothing Sets

Baby Clothing Sets are ideal as they often feature mixing and matching outfits in one set. Sets can make getting dressed easier and ensure there's a range of outfits for different occasions.

Rather than buying all baby clothes in newborn sizes, choose a mix of newborn sizes and slightly bigger clothes. This way, it'll be easier to dress the baby as they begin to outgrow their size.

Lightweight clothing is ideal in Australia, however, in cooler climates or in winter, extra layers may be required.

3. Choose from a Wide Range of Boys Clothing and Girls Clothing

There are a wide range of clothing styles to choose from baby boys and girls clothing. Ditch the old gender norms and invest in everyday neutral clothes, fun print bodysuits and mix and match tops and bottoms. There are many options to choose from for seasonal and special occasion outfits.

The most important aspect when choosing baby clothes is ensuring that it's comfortable, practical and fits appropriately.

4. Mix and Match with Boy Clothing Sets

For parents wanting to invest in mix and match outfits for their little ones, boy clothing sets can include a matching top, bottom and accessory. Boy clothing sets can make getting dressed easier while still having a range of outfit options for everyday outfits, family events and special occasions. Choosing boy clothing sets with simple fastenings can also make nappy changes easier.

5. Stock up on Toys, Kids & Babies Essentials

Clothes aren't the only essentials for a newborn, check out the Toys, Kids & Babies category for everything else a little one may need to stay entertained or comfortable.

When choosing baby toys, always check the age appropriateness, material, size and any safety instructions before buying.

6. Make a Newborn Clothing Checklist

Making a newborn clothing checklist can be a good way to know what to buy when. Most parents choose to buy 5-7 bodysuits, 4-6 sleepsuits, 3-5 pairs of soft pants, socks or booties, lightweight hats and seasonal outfits. There should also be a few extra outfits and clothes in different sizes to account for frequent washing and growing rates.
