First time parents have enough on the their minds without having to worry about choosing the right set of clothes for their new addition. Still, these choices must be made. If the expecting parent looks closer at the construction of good baby clothes, there is something to be learned about the nature of babies. Baby clothes are usually made of cotton, and for good reason. Cotton is easy on the delicate skin of infants. Baby clothes are also devoid of buttons and tassels, as these items can end up in mouths and become potential dangers. When you find outfits that you like, also try and confirm that the cotton is hypoallergenic.

In terms of clothing style, one- piece outfits are the most popular baby garments. These little "crawl suits" are ideal for active infants, whether they're fidgeting in the cradle or crawling around on the floor. They're also great for easy diaper changing. New parents should have a half dozen one piece outfits at the ready when baby arrives. And heads up: Babies grow quickly, so always buy outfits that are on the large side.

Newborns sleep a lot, so pajamas are another critical item to have in your arsenal of baby clothes. Flannel is one of the most popular materials, as it's incredibly soft and warm against the skin. Look for pajamas that come with "booties" attached at the bottom. Built in footwear will help keep infants feet warm at night. This helps them avoid colds, which can be serious events at very young ages.

Also try and pick up a few pairs of undershirts. They're good to have on hand in situations where you might need more than just a one-piece. Look for varieties with shoulder snaps for easy removal.

Buy at least eight pairs of socks. Size them carefully to make sure they're not constricting to the feet. Keep an eye out for socks that have rubberized grips on the souls. This will reduce the amount of slipping as your baby begins to hoist him/herself up in preparation for walking. Also keep in mind that very young babies don't even need shoes, as their feet rarely touch the ground. Soft, light shoes known as "padders", however, can be gently strapped to the feet of crawlers to offer them some light duty foot protection and warmth.

Last but not least, pick out a few fancy outfits. There will be times when you need to take your baby out on the town, if only to go to the supermarket. Dressing your tot up in some unbearably cute clothes helps promote "going out" as a fun experience for both parent and child alike.
