Consider unisex clothes for you baby. If you buy in advance when you first become a parent, or anticipate having more than one kid, unisex colors may serve you better than pink for baby girl or blue for baby boy.

Buy ahead when you find a sale. Babies are usually not picky about their wearing when they feel comfortable. As soon as you see the clearance, consider buying 9 or even 12 month old clothes when your baby is only three months old, it will save you big money. There is always a little risk for buying in advance  such things as child apparel and child shoes when you see the discounts, but they will fit sooner or later!

Wash baby clothes first. Consider the following general rule: wash all new clothes before they come into contact with your baby. Remember they've been hanging in the warehouses and stores and it's always good to clean them up before wearing. Washing baby clothes also makes them softer and can help prevent skin rashes, because your baby have more sensitive skin than you do. That's why you should use gentle detergent that is free of perfumes. Ask for advice of experienced parents.

Tips for Maternity Clothes. If you're are so concern about how to meet your clothing budget when you really need a bigger size for your cloth, relax. There is always an easy way. Go to your partner's closet. If your best friend is oversized, his large or unbuttoned shirts could become a uniform while you are pregnant and will serve as maternity shirt. Borrow before you buy your maternity pants and other apparel.
