Building Baby’s First Wardrobe? Start With These Picks From Carter’s

Picking out the clothes your baby will wear once they arrive is both a practical part of baby prep and one of the more fun tasks on your to-do list. Whether you’re welcoming a baby during the cooler months and reaching for warm layers, or you're in the warm season and searching for sun protection for baby, having a stocked wardrobe of comfortable clothes will be helpful. 

Iconic baby brand Carter’s carries affordable baby clothes that’ll check every category on your list. From bodysuits and footed PJs they’ll wear daily to stylish outfit sets and seasonal essentials, Carter’s has a ton of options to choose from. Many of their basics, like PJs and bodysuits, are made with organic cotton (and it’s still affordable) or their PurelySoft material (soft, stretchy viscose). 

And if you’re wondering how many baby clothes you’ll actually need for your newborn or how to add clothes that you’ll actually use to your registry, we've got you covered.

We’ve rounded up some of the registry-worthy picks from Carter’s to get you started with building your baby’s wardrobe.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits will be one of baby’s most worn types of clothing. They’re versatile and can be worn on their own or under clothes as a warm base layer. Carter’s has basic white options, bodysuits with quippy sayings and cute, style-forward designs, plus many of them are made of organic cotton. Carter’s is known for their multipacks, so you can grab several pieces for a bundled price that’s typically less expensive than buying them individually.

Pajamas

Next to bodysuits, babies spend a ton of their time hanging out in pajamas. But instead of the two-piece sets you might think of for older babies and toddlers, baby pajamas are typically one-piece footies (you can go for the footless options, too) with either a zipper or buttons for easy diaper changes. Carter’s offers a large selection, including options made of organic cotton and their PurelySoft material and two-packs.

Outfit Sets

When you want to dress your baby in something extra-special, an outfit set with a matching top and bottom can make getting dressed much easier. Carter’s is well known for their adorable matching sets that can be worn together or separately to mix-and-match.

Seasonal 

Whether you’re heading into your baby’s first summer or looking forward to their first winter season, you’ll need to stock up on some seasonal clothes that’ll keep them comfy, like a puffy bunting to catch the first snowfall, a swimsuit to take a splash on the first warm summer day or a rain jacket to keep them dry during spring showers.

Accessories

Once you’ve decked their wardrobe out in both practical and special occasion clothes, you can throw in a few accessories like socks, hats and shoes.
