It doesn\u2019t mean you are destined to become a bad mom or not prepared for the journey that is pregnancy and motherhood. Everyone who has ever had a baby went through pregnancy for the \u201cfirst time\u201d and with experience comes knowledge. So, what is a layette anyway? Here\u2019s everything you need to know about newborn supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is a Layette<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is a layette? A layette refers to baby clothing must-haves that every new mom needs. In a nutshell, a layette is your baby\u2019s first wardrobe. The collection of clothes that a newborn needs is often considered a layette, but it can also refer to the basic supplies you\u2019ll have on hand for an infant. Here are some general tips to keep in mind when shopping for a layette:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t buy too much in advance as you won\u2019t know when your baby arrives and how big he\/she is at birth.<\/li><li>Infants grow at lightning speed and won\u2019t be tiny forever. Newborn sizes are often too small so opt for slightly larger sizes your little one will grow into.<\/li><li>Once your baby arrives, you\u2019ll have a better idea of what sizes and styles will fit. <\/li><li>Go for soft and comfortable materials, finished seams and fasteners that close without much effort. <\/li><li>Snaps, buttons and tags can scratch your little one\u2019s delicate skin. You may also want to avoid zippers, which can pinch. <\/li><li>How many you\u2019ll need of one item is up to you and your laundry preferences<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baby Layette Shopping Checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know you have another person to shop for, resist the urge to run out and buy every adorable baby outfit you lay your eyes on. Our checklist below can help you plan out your shopping or complete your baby registry. Here\u2019s your baby layette shopping checklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cTake-me-home\u201d outfit: your baby will wear this leaving the hospital so make sure it\u2019s not only camera-ready but functional.
