You are a fashion-savvy parent, so why shouldn’t your kids sport more than basic jeans and cookie-cutter t-shirts? From vintage to street, there are so many kinds of trendy baby clothes out there that rock with the very whimsical, playful qualities that every hip baby has inside. Punk, organic bohemia, rhinestone pop or urban velour — today’s newborn wardrobe shopping experience surprises and surpasses your wildest baby clothes dreams. Here are a couple of great examples of trendy and funny choices. When it comes to your favorite little dude and his very first denims, go oh-so-cool instead of blah-so-boring. Rather than regular washed out blues, shoot for some awesome Moppit Denim Suspender Shorts. Not only will they make every other mom jealous, they will cruise around comfortably while looking incredibly funky. Detachable suspenders and jean finish that has been distressed will make him ultra-hip baby while still showing off his desire to be a fun player. T-shirts don’t need to be boring and girls don’t have to always be dressed in red, pink or purple either. Swap her purple pony-glitter T for a traffic-stopping mud brown puff sleeve shirt from the playful brand Childish Clothing. The edgy front print will make her stand out, and you’ll be super proud of her cute, flirtatious look. The Childish Clothing Mud Brown Puff Sleeve Heartbreaker LS T-Shirt will show the rebel in her when all other girls try to be pretty in pink. Thinking about going organic or natural but worried it means no more hip, trendy baby clothes? Think again. The Misha Lulu Organic Farmer T-Shirt is a cool retro statement for any fashion savvy yet eco-friendly mom. Organic baby clothes don’t come much more fun than this. Nature and family are typical print ideas for the Misha Lulu retro-modern style; both you and your hip baby girl will love this comfy, organic T. For Halloween or any other costume party, there are trendy baby clothes that really stand out. The Mullins Square Butterfly Halloween Costume is ultra-cute for any special party that requires head-to-toe innovative fashion. This conversation starter proves that designer baby stuff of superior quality does not need to be conventional or limited to certain styles — there are some really fun pieces out there for a hip baby’s costume party too. Finally, for shoes — for her or him — forget that newborns and toddlers can’t move with some real punk or rock in their step. Little hip baby boys will look “Seattle ready” in Heathers Treasure Box Big Black Boots while urban baby girls will kick it seriously in Heelarious Brooke Leopard Satin Infant High Heels. Soft crib shoes like these exemplify the very best when it comes to trendy funny baby clothes and gear. When you are browsing for gear for your favorite little ones, choose a store that has some great collections — so you can compare, but also match up items for more fun and creative outfits that feel complete. A great example of such a store is cool baby clothes guru R&S Avenue; they feature the latest designer fashions and accessories for everyone from newborns to 8 year olds. It doesn’t really matter if you are into punk or bohemia, when you shop from R&S Avenue you get to see it all — from gold prints to fly greasers. But ultimately, it is what you shop that matters. Always remember to have fun and go for cool items that are true to you and your newborn’s personalities — that way, you just cannot go wrong.

Babies get bigger quicker than you can put clothes on them. They grow so fast that it’s hard to get good wear out of their clothes. They are wearing their pieces a few times before they grow out of it. This gets incredibly expensive for parents. However, there are ways to save money and even have your child be one of the best dressed kids on the block.
There are different stores and places you can look. Here are some great ideas to look for the gently-used baby clothing at great prices:
1. Yards sales are great. Many parents selling the clothes are doing it for the same reason, you are looking. Their children grow out of the clothes quickly and they are looking to get rid of them. Check out newspapers during nice weather seasons. Most ads will state if baby clothes are for sale because this is a popular item. There are dozens of yard sales on weekends.
2. Thrift shops have clothing for all types of people. The other great thing about finding clothing at a thrift shop is that all the money is going to charity. They have loads of gently-used baby clothing for a great price.
3. Talk to relatives or friends who have had young children and see if they need their old baby clothing. You can get cute hand-me-downs this way. You also know where the clothing is coming from, which is a plus.
4. Consignment shops are good places to look. People are always looking to get rid of items and consignment shops have all types of articles, including baby clothes. If you are a regular to the shops, build a good relationship with the employees. They may hold items for you at a killer price. So it’s worth showing your face in these shops as often as you can. The other thing you might consider for consignment shops is trading the clothing back when you need a new size. Some shops have this type of policy.
5. Freecycle. org is a website dedicated to recycling all types of items. This includes children’s clothing. Normally, you don’t even have to pay a fee for these clothes. You go to a neutral pick up location and all you have to do is pay for gas. There are new listings everyday of people offering all types of items and baby clothes are usually high on the list.
When you get used clothing, wash the clothing thoroughly to ensure the clothing is clean. Pre-treat any stains and wash the clothing in gentle soap that is specially made for babies. You probably want to put the clothing through two cycles to ensure the clothing is safe and germ-free. Besides former owners, the clothing might sit in a store for a long time and collect dust.
Your baby can be one of the best dressed kids around. You don’t have to go broke doing it either. Check out these different places and see what kind of great bargains you can come across.

Having a baby can be a joyful time as well as very stressful. Nothing else comes close to the joy a mother will feel when she is holding her baby for the first time and coming days. Parents, especially the father, will show off their little newborn and take tons of pictures.
Now there is nothing more stressful than the worrying that comes with having a baby. Parents worry that everything will or will not be okay and if they are prepared for their little bundle of joy.
When it comes to clothing, new parents often feel they are unprepared when it comes to clothing their baby. Before the baby is even born, parents are getting ready for the arrival by getting the items that he or she may need. This includes: a crib, changing table, playpen, walker and last but not least baby clothes.
Parents will focus more on the cute baby outfits and not ones that still look cute but are a bit cheaper. Mothers often make this mistake more than the fathers. They focus on these outfits and not more on what babies really need.
Babies’ basic essentials.
What are baby’s basic essentials? Believe it or not, cotton bodysuits top the list along with absorbent baby blankets, bibs and baby booties. They can never have enough of these items.
Remember babies are messy in general. They possess lots of drooling, slobbering, spewing and are waste producing machines during their first year of life. This, despite of all the cuteness they contain, too.
With all the messiness, a parent may find themselves changing clothes just as much as their diapers. Sometimes it may be more. So it is wise to have plenty of clothing washed, ready and on hand.
“Onesies”! Stock up on “Onesies” suits, baby tees and cotton blankets so there will be plenty in the drawer. Yet, do not stock up on so many that eventually you have a worthless pile of baby clothes that no longer fit the baby when he or she outgrows them. Here’s a hint: Have close to five or more clean outfits ready for when you need them.
Whenever you want to take the baby out, pack extra items such as clean backups and rags. It may be that it is an additional laundry duty but you will enjoy bringing those extra clothes when it boils down to it. Let’s just say. . . that is one of the joys that comes along with your bundle of joy.
Being practical works best when staying at home or just running to the store. Yet, those baby clothes that you find adorable are great for church outings or a visits to the relatives. It’s also good for family photos.
You must remember that these are babies. The moment you put that cute little outfit, it could have spit-up or even runny poop on it. You may have your daughter in a pretty pink ribbon or your son in a tuxedo.
So if you find out you and your family are expecting, forget the cutie baby clothes and go for the more practical ones. In the long run, only you are going to remember what your baby wore anyways.
Should a baby shower be thrown. . . let your guests get them cute outfits for you. You are going to need your money for other important things.
