Hi all,
I found some info about baby needs and apparel info.thought to share with u all.....


Basics

Since comfortable babies are happy babies, use the list of garments below to determine what every newborn needs.

Bodysuits:
These make great tops or undergarments for any sleepwear or outfit. Bodysuits have inseam snaps for easy dressing. And occasionally have larger necklines to fit easily over baby’s head. Bodysuits can have various other necklines, such as a collar or turtleneck, and long or short sleeves.

Newborn necessity: Every newborn should have 9-12 bodysuits in various sizes for growth.

Sleep & Plays/Sleepers:

These long sleeve garments will keep baby warm and cozy. They usually have zip- or snap-front closures from chest to foot. Sleepers are footed for warmth and have inseam snaps on both legs. They are either flame resistant or should be worn snug-fitting depending on the fabric.
Newborn necessity: Newborns should have 4-6 sleepers in various sizes for growth.

Side-snap Shirts:
Off-center snaps make these garments easy to dress baby. Side-snap shirts usually have short sleeves. They can be worn as a top, or a layer under any sleepwear or outfit.

Newborn necessity: We recommend 4-6 side-snap shirts in various sizes for growth.

Layette Gowns:
These are garments with an elastic bottom for easy access to baby’s bottom. Layette gowns are usually long sleeved.

Newborn necessity: Newborns need 4-6 layette gowns. They are available in various sizes for growth, but do come in one size fits all.

Pram Bags:
Great for baby to wear in cooler weather, pram bags have a zip front and closed bottom. With long sleeves and hoods, baby is sure to stay warm.

Newborn necessity: Newborns should have 2-3 pram bags. They often come in one size fits all.

Snowsuits/Prams:
Similar to sleeping bags, snowsuits have legs and sometimes even feet. They zip or snap down the front for easy dressing.

Newborn necessity: Depending on climate, newborns may need up to 2 prams in several sizes.

Playwear
As they learn and play each day, babies should always be wearing a comfortable outfit.

Creepers:
Similar to bodysuits, creepers are outfits that let baby’s arms and legs free to explore. They usually have short sleeves. And button or snap in the front or back to make dressing easy. Creepers also have inseam snaps.

Newborn necessity: About 4-6 creepers should suffice for a newborn’s wardrobe, depending on the climate.

Rompers:
These are one-piece outfits with short sleeves. They usually have short inseams (similar to shorts) and inseam snaps.

Newborn necessity: Rompers make great outfits for the warmer months. Buy 4-6 depending on the climate.

Pullover Shirts:
Pullover shirts usually have larger necklines to easily fit over baby’s head. Occasionally these shirts can have shoulder or back snaps.

Newborn necessity: Every baby should have 4-6 pullover shirts that coordinate with a variety of bottoms. Choose several sizes.

Sunsuits:
These are sleeveless one-piece outfits with elasticized leg openings and inseam snaps. Sunsuits are great for playing in the water and for warmer months.

Newborn necessity: A baby typically needs 4-6 sunsuits depending on the climate.

Coveralls:
Just as the name says, these cozy outfits cover it all. With long sleeves and full-length legs, baby is sure to be comfortable. Coveralls can have front or back closure and inseam snaps.

Pants:
Pants are available in various styles and colors, and in fabrics from denim to knit. They usually have full or back elastic waistbands. And occasionally have inseam snaps.
