What to Include in a Baby Layette Gift

By Melanie

Expectant parents often start making lists of everything baby will need. And the list grows and grows almost as quickly as the baby! The necessities are known collectively as the layette. It can be very basic and inexpensive, or it can be more extravagant, depending on what the parents need and want, and, of course, the gift-givers budget! Here are some items that you might consider including in your baby layette gift.

The Basics

Clothing:

These are items that every baby will use:

  • Onesies.
  • Pajamas or sleeping sacks.
  • Socks.
  • Booties.
  • Hats.
  • Sweaters, sweatshirt, and/or heavier shirt.
  • Outerwear.
  • Bibs.

You can get one of each, five of one, three of two whatever you choose. Make sure the clothing you choose is appropriate for the weather when the baby is born. A size 0-3 month snowsuit for a child born in April is not going to be a great choice, for instance. Also, it is a great idea to include different sizes. For example, you could include a pack of 0-3 month onesies and a pack of 3-6 month sizes. [Read more…] about What to Include in a Baby Layette Gift
