Newborn Clothing
Newborns don't need much clothing. However, you must obtain comfortable clothing for the baby and simple to put on the baby. Here are the clothing necessities you'll want to have on hand when your baby arrives.
- Leggings/stretchy pants (5–7): Baby leggings make it simple to replace a single piece of dirty clothing without changing the entire outfit. Buy girls leggings online wholesale because it has an elastic waistband that is easy to put on over your baby's diaper and belly – and it expands as she grows.
- Bodysuits (5–7): Bodysuits, also referred to as onesies, are short- or long-sleeved baby shirts that pull over your baby's head and snap into place under his diaper. The stretchy neckline is useful after a diaper blow-out because it allows you to pull the soiled bodysuit down rather than over your child's head. Buy baby bodysuits wholesale for the most comfortable clothing.
- 3 to 5 outer layers: Look for zippered sweaters, fleece jackets, and sweatshirts that are easy to put on and take off. Fleece jumpsuits are also comfortable and stylish, and they go with everything. Purchase larger sizes and garments with loose armholes that will not require tugging and fussing.
- Sleepers: Sleepers are essentially baby pajamas worn for sleeping and playing. Because babies nap so frequently, they're extremely convenient. Buy wholesale baby sleepsuits that zip down the front and the leg – they make diaper changes easier.
- 2-3 hats: buy wholesale kids hats that are determined by the season and weather: For sunny days, a broad-brimmed sun hat and a warm hat that covers the ears in the winter should suffice.
- Socks or booties (5–7): Keep baby socks, shoes, and booties on the cheap side, as you'll most likely need to replace them more than once.
Diapering
Changing diapers can be a messy business! On the other hand, diaper changing duty can be easier with the right diapering essentials on hand.
- Diapers: Whether you use cloth, disposable, or something in between (such as a diaper with a disposable lining and reusable cover), your baby will probably go through 10 to 12 diapers per day at first, so stock up on the best diapers for your family. If you use disposables, you should start with small packs of a few different types if certain types irritate your baby's skin or don't fit properly.
- Wipes for babies: Baby wipes are disposable polyester, cotton, wool, or rayon fibres. Buy wipes from baby products wholesale online. They're sold in packages with dispensers to make them easier to use. Unscented wipes are likely to be gentler on your baby's skin.
Feeding
A hungry newborn can be a real pain! However, if you have the necessary feeding supplies, you will be better prepared and ready for mealtime.
- Bottles (6–12): Newborns usually start with 4-ounce baby bottles, but as your child grows older, you'll need some 8-ounce bottles. You'll also need at least the same number of nipples as bottles. See our article on how to buy bottles and nipples for more information.
- Formula: If you aren't breastfeeding, there are many infant formula options to consider – read our guide to the best formula brands and consult with your provider. Stock up on enough formula to last a few weeks.
