WHAT CLOTHES FOR A BABY?

Happy Tuesday!

Today's CHILDREN'S TIP is about how to dress babies that are less than 1 year old.

Besides a cute smile what you want to capture on a new baby is their BABY BODY! Too often I see moms who dress their little bundle in too much clothing! It is the roly-poly belly; chunky legs and round 'piggy' toes that will tug at your heart strings when that soft, new, baby-skinned bundle of love is 18 years old.

• Dress your baby in as little as possible.
• Diapers are great.
• Cloth diapers or a diaper cover is even better.
  
• Avoid heavy material - Such as denim and corduroy.
• Avoid shoes and socks.
• Body-forming material is good - Such as a onesy.
• Avoid name-brand logos and large prints.
• Classic-cut clothing will create timelessness.

One more thing: Be sure to try the clothes on your baby before the session. Make sure that the collar is not going to flip up into your baby's face or that their hands and feet aren't covered because the clothes are too big.

I hope these tips are helpful for you.

Have a magnificent day!
