Shop baby clothing basics in Canada: cotton and fleece bodysuits, sleepers, socks with grips, hats, mittens and bunting for cool weather. Brands include Simple Joys by Carter's, Little Planet and BQUBO. Check the size chart on each listing, as sizing varies by maker.
Sizes run by age or weight and vary between makers, so use each listing's chart rather than the age on the label. Babies grow quickly, so if your baby sits between sizes, many parents choose the larger one. Look at the seat and thighs, not only the waist. Cloth diapers add bulk, so a little extra room helps. See clothes that fit over cloth diapers for fit tips.
Think in layers: a bodysuit, a sleeper, then hats, mittens and warm socks for outings. Pack spares of the small items, since socks and mitts get wet or lost. Check your car seat's manual about bulky layers and snowsuits. For advice on dressing a baby for the cold, ask your doctor or public health nurse. Our winter diaper bag checklist lists useful extras.
Grip socks have a textured sole that gives extra hold on smooth floors, which suits babies who are pulling up and taking first steps. Choose a size that fits so the sock does not bunch or slip, and check the age range on the listing. Multi-packs are handy because socks often go missing. Wash new clothes before wearing, following the care label.
Sizes vary by brand, and babies grow fast. Many parents buy a mix of sizes. Check the chart on the listing and consider the larger size if your baby is between sizes.
It depends on how often you do laundry and how many outfit changes a day you expect. Spit-ups and leaks can mean several changes, so plan for more rather than fewer.
Many parents do, using a gentle detergent. Follow the care label on each item, and wash new clothes before they touch your baby's skin.
Grip socks have a textured sole for traction on smooth floors. A good fit helps them stay on, so check the size and age range on the listing.
