Age

The child’s age determines the size of the underwear to buy. Children between 1 day and 3 months wear the same size depending on their growth rate. Those between 5 and 8 months can share the same size, while those above 9 months can use another size. However, ensure they aren’t tight since it may affect the Baby’s reproductive organs. It should also be big enough to allow a diaper underneath.

Some parents may opt to use baby diapers instead, which might reduce the demand for baby underwear. However, it shouldn’t miss among baby boy clothes since the mother or nanny can use them when the Baby is not in diapers.

Cloth Texture

Most baby clothes are made from cotton, thanks to their fine texture. However, companies nowadays use unique blends to create baby clothes. With time, cloth manufacturers cleared nylon to make baby clothes, thanks to the improved technology. Cloth texture comes in handy since it determines the reaction on a Baby’s skin. Also, finer clothes are expensive compared to others.
