Spring Baby Style Guide

Spring is an awesome season for your toddlers. The weather starts to get warmer so you can plan days at the park and the great outdoors! There is still rain, so expect your child to find lots of puddles to splash about in. 

It's a new season that offers a chance for parents to purchase new clothes for their little ones. Parents must consider the changes in temperature throughout the season when adding to their kid's wardrobes. 

We have come up with a guide to help moms and dads figure out what type of clothing they should get for the coming months. It is an exciting season for both parents and children, as those long winter months will be behind us, and we can take advantage of the beautiful nature the world has in store for us. Those bulky sweaters and heavy jackets can be stored away until next year. It's time for colorful shorts and adorable t-shirts! Spring is upon us! 

Pick Comfort Clothing over Style

This rule goes for all seasons. You might want your child to look great during Spring, but if those shorts you just bought are causing your baby to feel uncomfortable, then don't force them to wear them. If you are buying a dress for your daughter for a party, understand that she will probably want to play and run around at the venue. 

Here are a few things you should expect your children to do during the Springtime which you should keep in mind when purchasing clothes for the Spring so that they stay comfortable:

• Climbing

• Sitting 

• Running

• Playing in puddles and other wet areas

• They will get dirty (picking clothes that are easy to clean has lots of benefits). 

Don't worry, your child can still look trendy with comfortable clothes. Choosing comfortable clothes will reduce problems for both you and your child.

It's sometimes hard to judge the weather during Spring

In a lot of regions around the world, the weather during Spring can be unpredictable at times. Some days it can be very warm, so dressing your child with thick fabrics can cause your child to overheat. However, if you decide to have your child dressed in a light outfit, perhaps bringing some warmer clothes just in case the weather drops can prove beneficial. Rain jackets and other clothes used to prevent your child from getting wet should be brought with you if you are going outdoors. Remember, your child can easily get sick as their immune system is often weaker than adults, so keeping them dry is important. Other accessories like an umbrella and a hat might also help.

Tips on Dressing your Baby during the Spring

Spring can be a confusing month when figuring out how to dress your child so here are a few tips that might help you decide:

• Use a light romper so that all your baby's skin is covered. Babies look super cute in these rompers!

• Both boys and girls can wear leg warmers. They come in all different colors, keep your baby comfortable, and will offer a little bit more protection for the baby's sensitive skin. 

• Light cotton hats, especially those that have a little peek look great on babies. Some babies don't like wearing hats, as soon as you put them on a baby's head they might just take them off. So before you purchase one, see if your baby likes to wear hats by trying on an older one. 

• Hoodies are a great idea for the Spring. As it's hard to judge the weather during Springtime, a hoodie could be a great purchase. If the sun is blaring in their direction, they can pull up the hoodie to block the sun, if it rains all of a sudden, they can pull up the hoodie to prevent them from getting wet.

• A light windbreaker is ideal for both boys and girls during the Spring months. Try and find one with a hood attached just in case it starts to rain.

With those Winter months behind you and your baby, you can finally enjoy those long evenings without having to worry about snow and constant rain. 

Summary

Purchasing clothes for your little ones can prove expensive. Perhaps buying clothes a size bigger than your baby's actual size will help, as you will be amazed at how fast they grow. If you are on a tight budget, there are charity and second-hand clothes shops often full of second-hand baby clothes. Because children grow so fast some of these items might have only been worn once. Especially for newborns as new parents often get excited and purchase lots of unnecessary clothes for their new addition to their family.
