From Baby Bibs to Trumpette Socks, Function and Fashion Tips for Babies

Enjoy it while you can. Your kids won’t let you dress them up for long, and pretty soon, they’ll be dressing up in spiked leather collars or wearing saggy pants around their ankles to go to school. While they are still babies, they have to wear whatever you throw on them. Really, baby fashions can be one of the most fun things about being a parent. Go wild, but be sensible. Parenting comes with an endless list of chores, but if you don’t stop to enjoy the little things, they’ll pass you by. When it comes to baby bibs or trumpette socks, fashioning up your baby or toddler is really just an adult version of playing dress up.

Easy On, Easy Off!

Toddlers have the patience, of well, two year olds, so make it easy on them. Choose easy pull overs that come off in one motion. Let them reach for the sky, and be done. Pants should be loose fitting so they can be taken off easily, as if they were playing a game. Trumpette socks are always a good match, as they just pull right off unlike traditional shoes. Breakfast will be complicated enough. Dressing should be simple.

Hassle Free Care

Caring for your toddler or baby has enough hassles. The last thing you need to worry about are their clothes. Babies and toddlers get messy. That’s a fact of life. Use materials that are easy to care for. Make sure all clothes, including trumpette socks, are machine washable, unless you prefer to go down to the river and wash laundry by slapping clothes against a rock.

Pack for Three

Toddlers are messy, from ketchup stains to other messes that just shouldn’t be talked about at the dinner table. Always pack for a crowd. Ideally, carry at least three changes of clothes, from underwear to shirts to pants to baby bibs. Unless you want your child running around like a little nudist after the diaper accident, it’s best to bring enough outfits to fall back on. A few extra pairs of pants never hurt anybody.

Depend on Baby Bibs

Who says baby bibs are just for dinner anymore? Many parents choose to dress their babies up in baby bibs full time. It’s just easier that way. Stains are going to happen. Babies cough up all the time. Plus, you can get many funny baby bibs online with hilarious sayings that make fun of Grandpa.

Don’t Forget the Feet

Feet can be some of the coldest parts of the body, so always remember to pack on the trumpette socks. It’s best to carry several pairs because they’re easy to lose. Toddlers love throwing socks and other clothes around the room, so bring reinforcements. They come in just as handy as baby bibs!
