Where To Find Newborn Hats And Clothing
Did you know that newborns lose more body heat through their heads than adults? This is simply because a baby’s head is relatively large compared to other body parts and an adult’s head. For this reason, choosing the right hats and clothing is more important than anything else so you can keep your baby warm, cozy, and of course… stylish.
Finding the best clothing for a baby can feel overwhelming because there are so many options available. From beanies to onesies, this article will guide you through essential newborn items, the best places to shop, and tips for selecting high-quality, comfortable outfits. So, without further ado, let’s get started.
Best Places to Shop for Newborn Hats and Clothing
In-Store Options
For parents who like to see the clothing and get a feel for it before they buy it for their little one, in-store shopping is a great option. Well-known department stores (like Target and Walmart) offer affordable baby clothing and provide a wide selection of baby hats and clothing for everyday wear.
Local baby boutiques also provide a more personalized experience, where you can find unique items and receive “one-to-one” recommendations from knowledgeable staff. When shopping in person, you can also feel the softness of fabrics yourself and see if the sizing fits right to make sure everything is just perfect for the newborn baby.
Secondhand and Sustainable Choices
If sustainability is your priority, secondhand options are not a bad deal. The only con is that they’re used by someone else, even if mildly. Thrift stores and online platforms that offer secondhand clothing (like Poshmark or ThredUp) often carry gently used newborn hats and outfits at a fraction of the original cost. Shopping secondhand or choosing sustainable brands helps reduce waste while providing high-quality options for your little one. Ultimately, you have to weigh the pros (like low prices and sustainability) and cons (the clothing being slightly used) and decide for yourself.
Online Retailers
Online shopping provides convenience and variety for new parents. If you want to go for something personalized, handmade, and unique for the baby, specialty baby boutiques are the way to go for creating a one-of-a-kind wardrobe. Larger retailers like Amazon, Carter’s, and Baby Gap offer everything from affordable essentials to stylish outfits.
