A baby bodysuit is the foundation for nearly every baby outfit. It provides an easy way to give your baby an extra layer of warmth, and with snaps between the legs, they stay put and keep your baby's other clothing from rubbing up against their new and delicate skin.
There are a variety of baby bodysuits on the market. Some are basic, solid colors. Others have witty sayings written across them. Whichever you choose, there are certain things that you should always look for when registering or buying baby bodysuits.
- Shoulder Snaps. Babies don't like to have things pulled over their heads. A shoulder-snapped baby bodysuit ensures that you can get this piece of clothing over their head with little disturbance to them - even if they're sleeping.
- Seat Snaps. Also known as "crotch snaps," these allow easy access for diaper changes and prevent the bodysuit from riding up and exposing your baby's skin.
- 100% Cotton, Organic Cotton, or Bamboo. The preference here is the organic materials like organic cotton or bamboo, but if you are not ready to buy organic baby clothes, or you cannot find them, 100% cotton bodysuits are completely acceptable. Since this is the first layer of clothing to touch your baby's skin, you want to be sure that it is the finest, and softest, material available.
