The Essential Baby Clothing Checklist

This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

I’ve got a confession: Tripp has more clothes than any other member of our family – combined. I just have a thing for baby clothes – and for some reason I’ve fallen even more in love with baby boy clothes than I was with baby girl clothes, as unbelievable as that may seem. But nobody needs as many clothes as Tripp has. In fact he has so many things that he’s only worn once, twice, or even never, before now in the donate pile that it makes me really sad because I hate wasting things. That’s why I went through our stuff and narrowed down what a mama really needs when it comes to baby clothing, and here’s what I landed on…

You might notice what is first on my list: bodysuits. And this is where I turn to the one and only Carter’s Original Bodysuit. They are so easy, versatile, and come in different styles for any occasion. From comfy play wear:

To dressy:

No matter what season or occasion Carter’s will have the perfect Original Bodysuit that can easily be dressed up or down.  If you are wanting to go ahead and stock up on Bodysuits you should enter the #originalbodysuitsweepstakes Original Bodysuit Giveaway on September 8th.

My kids also live in sleepers as babies, which I always stock up on at Carter’s, and I love fun accessories like these little suspenders. And with both kids we ended up with a ton of shoes because baby shoes are my husbands weak spot. But of course until they are walking babies don’t have much need for shoes so what’s important is to look for ones that actually stay on, and are cute. These ones I grabbed at Carter’s meet both of those criteria and are perfect for fall! Upload your baby’s first Carter’s look here by 9/26 to be entered to win one of 75 $50 gift cards to Carter’s!

There you have it – all you really need for clothing your baby, but of course all the extra outfits are fun too! Think I included too much or too little? Let me know below!
