Do you at all remember that outfit your baby only wore three times, that you paid $40 for? For such tiny things, baby clothing is expensive - and as fast as babies grow, they seldom see much wear. For parents that are already trying to stretch a budget, saving money on baby's clothing is a must.
Designer clothing for babies - meaning the top of the line names in the field such as OshKosh, Baby B'Gosh, Carters and Sweet Pea - is obviously much nicer than a cheap imitation. These manufacturers focus on fine details that make a difference in both appearance, comfort and feet. The seams are flat and don't irritate the baby's delicate skin, and the nylon snaps are not scratchy or easily broken. But even with all the nice perks, who wants to pay $30 for a baby sleeper?
The best thing to do is to look around for gently used baby clothing that's of good quality, or check with friends and family to see if they have any hand-me-downs they can pass on. You can find great deals at yard sales, usually in the spring and summer months. You might be able to find clothes in sizes for the next couple of years that have barely been worn. Check the newspaper for upcoming yard sales - baby clothes are often one of the advertised items.
Another great place to buy designer baby clothes at rock-bottom prices is a good consignment shop. If you can create a relationship with the owner, she might even keep you posted when new items come in, if she sees something that fits your needs. And the best part out of this is that you might even be able to sell the clothes back to the store after you no longer need them, or you might be able to trade them for the next size up.
And just imagine how wonderful it would be to find free designer baby clothes that only cost you the amount of gasoline you will need to pick them up? Freecycle.org is a website dedicated to promote the concept of 'a man's trash is another man's wealth.' You can visit http://www.freecycle.org to find a local chapter and start saving money. Mostly every day someone lists bags of baby items and clothing in various sizes. The clothes are not always of the best quality, but if the baby is very young, you might be able to find some that are in wonderful conditions.
And certainly, you shouldn't miss the chance of looking at church sales and thrift shops for wonderful bargains on high quality baby clothing. If you have a Junior League thrift shop in your area, you should definitely check it out, as they usually carry high quality baby clothing.
Make it a habit to wash baby clothing as soon as you bring it home. Pretreat stains if there are any, and wash with a gentle laundry soap meant for baby. You can add Borax to the washing water to whiten even more, and if you use bleach, make sure you double rinse. By the time you're done, you'll have one of the best-dressed babies in town - without breaking your piggy bank.
