A long-sleeve kimono or wrap-style shirt. These especially come in handy during baby's first days. The shirt, which snaps across the front, doesn't have to be pulled over your little one's head—which many babies dislike—and it's easier on the sensitive umbilical cord stump, which needs air to dry out.

Choosing newborn clothes: soft, comfortable and easy care

Clothes made from cotton are a good choice. Cotton clothes will keep your baby cooler in hot weather than clothes made from synthetic fibres. Cotton also washes well and is gentle against your baby's sensitive skin.

She said all you really need right away is somewhere for the baby to sleep (crib or bassinet), something to transport the baby in (car seat, stroller and/or carrier), a few clothes (usually gift so you don't need to buy but they also grow super fast so don't get much of anything anyway), and diapers (cloth or ...

When should you start buying baby clothes? You should start buying baby clothes during your second trimester onwards.

Can you put a onesie on a newborn with umbilical cord? ›

Try not to cover the stump with baby's diaper (plenty of newborn diapers come with a U-notch to ensure baby's umbilical cord isn't covered up). Use comfortably fitting—not tight—onesies, or just dress baby in diapers and T-shirts.

Expose the stump to air to help dry out the base. Keep the front of your baby's diaper folded down, so it doesn't cover the stump. Or cut off a small piece of the diaper with scissors and use tape to seal the edge.

Factor in the outfit needed for their 'outside' time, and you'll quickly come to learn you might need a few outfit changes throughout the day.

Considering babies go through 1-2 outfit changes a day, it is a good idea to have 4-6 zip front onesies and bodysuits on hand. It is a good idea to have a mix of merino and organic cotton bodysuits, as well as short-sleeved and long-sleeved.

How many outfits do I bring to the hospital for my baby? Usually, you'll only need to bring one outfit for your baby – a coming-home outfit to wear for the trip home. Most hospitals provide a newborn hat, long-sleeved shirts, and swaddling blankets for your baby to wear during your stay.

Keep your baby in a clean pram/cot. Change the sheets once a day in the beginning when your baby spends most of his/her time in the pram. Change your baby's clothes once a day unless he/she is sick or wets them more often. Wash soiled clothes soon after soiling to avoid permanent stains.
