In the blink of an eye, your baby is now a toddler and their old clothes do not fit them anymore. You now have to do your shopping again and this time around, your kid could be vocal about their preference. It could either be a good or bad thing, depending on how you would look at it.
The below list enumerates the things that you need to consider before you even go shopping. Keep them in mind so as not to be overwhelmed especially when you are hauling your toddler from one store to another and they are already losing interest in shopping.
Toddlers Grow Up Fast
When you go buy clothes for your toddlers, you have to remember that they are growing up fast so you don’t need to invest in a lot of clothes or even on branded and expensive ones. They would outgrow these clothes sooner than you expected. But if you are planning on having more babies or you know someone pregnant and would appreciate your hand me downs, by all means you could stock up on babies and toddlers’ clothes especially during sale season and you could take advantage of the discounted price.
Accessories
What you need to remember now that your kid is a toddler is that you also must invest in accessories. Since they’d be moving around a lot and would engage in numerous activities, they would need aside from comfortable clothes, accessories. They would want to experience the rain and would need rubber boots and raincoats. They would want to walk around even if it is the middle of the day and would need hats. They would want to play in the snow and would need scarves, mittens, gloves, bonnets, etc. Fortunately, there are stores like the BumblebeezKidz Boutique that sell clothes and accessories and you would not need to shop in another store.
Skip The “Onesies”
For babies, onesies are recommended because it would be easier to clothe them with onesie and you would not need to rummage your drawers and cabinets for a top and bottom. But if you already have a toddler, especially one that you are already trying to potty train, skip the onesies. They would have a hard time removing their clothes if it is onesie and they already need to go to the toilet compared to when they are wearing a top and a bottom.
Toddlers would also be more active now and would always walk, run and try on new things. They have a higher chance of constantly dirtying their clothes and since you’d soon realize that you have been washing tons of your toddler’s clothes, you would want to lessen the load as much as possible. At least if your toddler is wearing tops and bottoms, when they only dirtied the top, they could still wear the bottom the rest of the day.
It’s a wonderful feeling providing for your kid. These clothes are a necessity but also, they could provide you with good memories especially when your kid is ready to leave your nest and you are left with their childhood memories you could reminisce when you started missing them.
