FAQ'S

A layette typically means a coordinated set of newborn essentials (often clothing + a matching accessory). A bundle may include multiple items across categories (like swaddles + gowns + extras). If you want simple gifting, layette sets are an easy “done-for-you” option.

While the perfect number of newborn clothing depends on how often you plan to do laundry and how many changes your baby needs daily, it’s good to keep a stock of the essentials. Having around 5-7 bodysuits and sleepers in each size ensures they're covered for day and night. Similarly, 5-7 sets of shirts and pants provide versatility for daily wear without requiring daily laundering. Adding 5 pairs of socks or booties keeps their tiny feet warm. Don't forget 2-3 hats for different weather conditions. 

In general, newborns need a wardrobe that caters to their comfort and practicality. While it’s easy to go overboard, remember that infants grow quickly in their first year. Therefore, it’s important to stock up on baby clothing essentials in various sizes, including newborn and 0-3 months.

When it comes to choosing clothes for your newborn, it’s important to consider comfort and practical style. Tencel Lyocell fabric is a great option to provide optimal comfort that is gentle on delicate skin. Additionally, Tencel fabric has many benefits including excellent breathability, hypoallergenic properties, and optimal moisture-wicking qualities, ensuring the utmost comfort and care for your newborn.  

Additionally, while there are plenty of adorable styles out there, prioritize practicality and comfort. Newborn clothing with snaps, zippers, or knotted closures allow for more convenient changing for parents and babies alike.
