Girls clothes we love for babies and toddlers

We all know little girls are made of “sugar and spice and all things nice”, making it such a joy to buy for them as mums and dads welcome them into the big, wide world. With so many options available when it comes to choosing clothes for baby girls, such as dresses, skirts and smocks to name a few, the experience of doing so can sometimes leave buyers scratching their heads over where exactly to start.

Sets help buyers achieve value for money when shopping for baby girls, with added extras such as headbands, mittens and scrunchies often included. If shopping for sets, it’s important to consider the age of the child, as newborns will sleep those early days away in onesies while toddlers may prefer leggings to dresses or skirts.

If opting for baby grows or onesies experiment with colour, as children pick up on them from an early age. Also bear in mind the time of year when buying, as while a long sleeved garment would be perfect for winter, tots can get overheated wearing them in the summer.

When it comes to footwear, booties are ideal for baby girls because they’re comfy and usually cheap to buy compared to trainers that can be expensive. This raises another factor: age. Babies grow so fast and expensive trainers are unlikely to fit them for long, as little feet get bigger quickly. Laces should be avoided until tots are ready to learn to tie them, and sparkly garments with sequins, fluff or fur may look fun but can cause a choke hazard.
