In theory they look cute\u2014in reality, they\u2019re inconvenient for diaper changes and naptime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry-Clean-Only Garments<br><\/strong> Babies spit up, spill, and get messy daily. Only choose clothes that are machine washable and easy to maintain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rough Seams and Itchy Tags<br><\/strong> Especially in budget sets, rough inner seams or non-tagless neck labels can irritate sensitive baby skin. Always feel the inside of garments before purchasing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buying Only One Type of Clothing<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Diversify with a mix of onesies, footies, rompers, pants, and outerwear. You&#8217;ll want different outfits for different times of day and activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ix-parent-tested-outfit-ideas\"><strong>IX.
