THEIR FIRST SPECIAL MOMENTS

What are life’s major milestones without the perfect outfits to go with them? Here’s how to dress your little ones for all those important firsts

First meal

Weaning changes everything when it comes to babywear. Suddenly even more of your time will be spent washing your baby’s or your own clothes, and when you’re not doing that, you’ll be coaxing them to feed with varying degrees of success. Make things a little easier on yourself by stocking up on bodysuits and cardigans that can be easily swapped or can cover up all manner of stains. And don’t panic, this stage doesn’t last long!

First playdate

There comes a point in every baby’s life when they realise that they’re not the only people on the planet – and it’s often on a playdate. They’re probably more bothered about the toys than what they’re wearing, but new mums don’t get that many chances to show off their little additions so make the most of it and put them in something you love – before they are old enough to object.

First night’s sleep

Whether it’s their first night at home or the first time they sleep through, no matter how exhausted they are, parents never forget bedtime milestones. Unfortunately, our baby suits don’t come with a sleep guarantee but they are 100 per cent cotton to prevent overheating and have easy-to-fasten coloured poppers to aid late-night, bleary-eyed nappy changes – because you’ll be doing a lot of those.
