NEWBORN
TAKE HOME
GIFT SETS

With so many people buying adorable outfits for your new baby, it may be hard to pick the right option to transport them from the hospital to the car and then home. The best option is to keep it simple with a soft and cozy footie romper to keep your baby warm in any season and makes buckling into a car seat easy. Once you get home, the outfit continues to work to your advantage for sleeping, nursing, and diaper changes.

Because there are so many other things to prepare for, many new parents do not appreciate the value of a newborn take-home dress until it is almost time for the baby to arrive. However, there are several factors to consider when dressing your newborns, such as the weather, warmth, softness, pictures you will take, and ease of changing or feeding. Also, frilly outfits may be adorable but can make babies fussy as they can scratch their delicate skin, making buckling a baby in the car seat for the first time challenging. 

Many moms remember to pack what they need for the hospital but may not know what to pack for their baby. While the hospital will provide everything you need, they will not have what you would choose. Plan on packing at least two pairs of foot rompers or pajamas and a couple of gowns that are open at the bottom for easy diaper changes.

 You will also need to pack a take-home outfit to get your baby from the hospital to the car and then into the house. Pack a few pairs of socks and a couple of hats because your baby's head and toes need covering too. Additionally, you may want to pack a few pairs of mittens because babies are often born with long nails that cannot be cut for several weeks.

A newborn baby's skin is particularly sensitive and porous. Because of their permeable skin, they absorb more of everything they come into contact with, including harsh chemicals from clothing. Paige Lauren offers organic clothing free of chemicals that can harm new skin. In addition, organic cotton is softer than ordinary cotton yet is equally durable, warm, and waterproof. So give your baby the best start with soft, comfortable, and organic clothing made by moms for function and style.
