]]>The sizing of baby clothes often differs from brand to brand, and it’s tough to make the right verdict. Babies of the same age also aren’t always the same size, so it’s a good idea to measure your baby before shopping for clothes to make sure they’ll be the right fit.
Baby clothes will often be labeled with months and years, but not necessarily with the measurements. Check if the size chart is available, especially when shopping online. It’s also a good idea to keep the tags on so you can exchange the clothing that doesn’t fit.
Buying clothes that are too small is a much bigger problem than buying clothes that are too big—but there’s one catch. If you’re buying baby clothes “for later”, keep in mind there’s a possibility you still won’t be able to use them if the fabric and sleeve size doesn’t match the season.

]]>As soon as a stain appears—or as soon as you spot it, because it may have happened at school or nursery—blot it with a dry towel or cloth. It’s important to remove as much of the surface residue as possible, so don’t go in with water straight away. If the stain is from something like chocolate or jam, it may even be possible to scrape the worst of the mark off of the fabric using a piece of card.
Once you’ve blotted or scraped at the stain, wet a cloth with cold or lukewarm water and gently rub at the spot on the fabric. It’s important not to run hot water directly over the fabric, as depending on what’s caused the stain this can make it fix into the cloth even harder.
Once you’ve blotted the stain and got it wet, it’s time to move in with a stain remover. These come in many different forms—some of the most effective are wax-based soap bars, which you rub directly onto the stain before rinsing out. To use others, you’ll need to put the stained garment on a wash cycle with the stain-removing product added to the detergent draw on your washing machine. Give the garment time to dry out completely, as sometimes stains that appear dark on wet fabric fade to almost invisible once the fabric is dry.

]]>One of the most impactful ways to deal with outgrown children’s clothes is to donate them to charities. Many organizations accept gently used children’s clothing and provide them to families in need. This not only helps you clear out your space but also supports those in your community who can benefit from these items.
If you have younger children or relatives, consider keeping the best pieces for hand-me-downs. This can save you money and extend the life of the clothes. It’s also a fun way for younger siblings to feel connected to their older brothers or sisters.
Lastly, consider organizing or participating in a clothing swap with other parents. This is a fun way to refresh your child’s wardrobe without buying new clothes and is an excellent opportunity for socializing. You can set up a swap among your neighborhood, school, or friend group.

]]>If there are small holes developing in your child’s clothes, learning to patch these is an essential skill. There are plenty of easy to follow videos on YouTube, so this is a good starting point. Make sure you have a sharp, slim needle, as a large one will make the holes worse, and select a thread that’s as close as possible in color to the fabric of the clothing. You are aiming to create a patch over the hole constructed from the thread, rather than trying to close the hole, as this will make the fabric bunch and look misshapen.
Knowing how to re-hem a pair of pants or a sleeve on a shirt is a great skill, especially as these are often the parts of clothing that kids wear or get very scruffy. Make sure you watch a good tutorial before starting, and a decent pair of dressmaking scissors are essential so that you can cleanly cut through the fabric you want to re-hem.
Replacing buttons is one of the easiest sewing tasks, but you do need to make sure that you securely attach the buttons, without stitching them on so tightly that your child can’t manipulate them or close them. Crossing the thread over itself and looping the needle underneath the thread as you stitch the button on will ensure that it is securely fastened and unlikely to come loose again.

]]>Children adore running around on sand or grass in the summer. Sandals offer a good compromise, as you can insist that shoes stay on but your kid can still feel the sun, wind, and sand on their toes through the sandals. If your child is younger, it may be worth opting for a pull-on pair, as children can struggle with the buckles found in many sandal styles.
As well as investing in a pair of sandals and sturdy boots, make sure your child has some cute and comfortable sneakers to slip on their feet on those more active days. Sneakers are generally easy to wear and lightweight, so your child can do plenty of moving and running around, but they will protect feet a little more than sandals. Opt for a pull-on pair, or if your child is learning to do their laces, use a new pair of lace-up sneakers as an incentive.
Buying a pair of zip-up or pull-on winter boots is a must, as your child is likely to have plenty of puddles to navigate on their way to school in the winter. Although kids are often drawn to embellishments such as fake fur linings, try and encourage your child to see the benefits of a simple, sturdy pair that will keep their feet warm and dry throughout the colder months.

]]>When your kids go to school, it’s important to remember that sometimes it might rain and storm. In this case, you won’t want them to be uncomfortable. At the same time, some materials are very hot in the summer. Avoid dressing your kids in leather and suede and rather go for cotton, polyester, and other materials that are more breathable and easier to clean if they get dirty.
Many schools are bound to have a dress code. Naturally, it’s vital to ensure that your kids keep in line with this policy. Also, because your children are still young, it’s important that they dress in an age-appropriate way, whereby their clothes are not too revealing or simply better fitted for older people.
No matter how good the clothes might look, ensuring your child’s comfort is a priority. Speak to your kids and ensure that they are comfortable with the size, style, and feel of each garment they try on so that it doesn’t bother them. If your kids are really young or unable to express themselves verbally, feel and examine the garment carefully yourself to ensure its comfort.

]]>The golden rule of stain removal: address it as soon as possible. Fresh stains are much easier to tackle than set-in ones. So, the moment you spot a splatter, blot up any excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth (avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain).
Different culprits require different approaches. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
Sometimes, stubborn stains require a little extra effort. Don’t be afraid to pre-treat and re-wash if necessary. Letting the stain remover sit on the stain for some time before washing can also work wonders.

And, don’t forget, swaps are social events! They create a fun opportunity to connect with other parents and build a sense of community.

]]>Opt for ultra-soft, stretchy soft headbands made from organic cotton or nylon blends. These won’t irritate your baby’s delicate skin and can come in adorable prints, solid colors, or with tiny bows. Knotted beanies are another cute option perfect for newborns.
Look for soft fabric clips with small bows, flowers, or animal shapes. These are gentle on your baby’s hair and come in many colors and patterns to complement any outfit. If your baby has enough hair for a tiny ponytail, you can also go for soft elastic ponytail holders specifically designed for babies. These won’t pull on their delicate hair and come in adorable colors and patterns.
Always make sure the hair accessories you choose are soft and comfortable. Avoid anything with sharp edges, small beads, or anything that could come loose and become a choking hazard.
