Do you feel your child’s boys pyjamas no longer fit him? Or is it the onesies that seem too tight and uncomfortable? These are clear indicators that you need to move a size up, so you’ll have to go shopping for some baby clothes. But, other than these signs, many other indicators signal the need to go shopping.

When Should You Move Up a Size?

 It’s a fact that babies grow fast, and it’s common for parents to wonder when to change the size of their clothes. It’s time to go shopping for baby onesies, boys pyjamas, t-shirts, shorts, and skirts if you notice they’re no longer fitting. The first indicator you need to change the size is if the clothes appear too small for the baby. Another reason is when they become too tight or stretchy or when there is a noticeable decrease in the cloth’s room.

Other signs that a baby has outgrown their clothing may include difficulty getting the piece of cloth on and off. Additionally, if you notice any tightness in the chest, stomach, or crotch area or the clothing is too short in the sleeves and legs, it’s time to change! If you’ve noticed any of these signs, get ready for an update and here are a few tips for you when you go shopping.

Choosing the Right Baby Clothes Sizes

Baby clothes come sized according to age, but things might not be as straightforward as this. Babies come in various shapes and sizes, so it’s possible to find a baby who’s bigger or smaller than their age. Unfortunately, this means that the clothes manufactured for their age won’t fit perfectly. Additionally, there are many brands in the market, and there is no consistency in their size.

Besides age, baby clothes can be based on other factors like weight and length. However, most baby clothes are made based on average sizes and shapes. Choosing the right size baby clothes can be difficult, but there are a few steps you can take to make sure you get the right fit. First, measure your baby’s height, waist, chest and inseam to get exact measurements. Then, check size charts for each clothing item you buy, as different manufacturers have different sizing charts.

Another tip is that when purchasing clothes, buy for growth and consider fabric types, as some fabrics tend to shrink after washing. Lastly, you could buy loose (but not baggy) clothes for the baby. This means your baby won’t outgrow them any time soon, and you won’t have to keep shopping for baby clothes.

Conclusion

If you are ready to update your baby’s wardrobe because their clothes don’t fit anymore, do some research beforehand. As explained above, different brands have baby clothes sized differently. Some brands run smaller or larger, shorter or longer. Therefore, it’s up to you to check their size chart and pick clothes based on your baby’s measurements.
