Simple and soft fabrics make the perfect first clothes for baby

A baby has just spent nine months in the coziest place on earth. Soft cotton pants, bodysuits, union suits, and gowns can extend this coziness into baby's first months. Keep it simple with no more than 12 outfits and splurge on organic cotton if you can.

If the perfect little sailor suit or dress catches your eye go for it but buy size 6 months or up. You'll be happy you saved it for later.
