WHEN TO START BUYING BABY CLOTHES?

Quick summary:
Wondering when to start shopping for your baby? Should you buy newborn clothes in the first trimester or wait until the end of your pregnancy? In this article, YOZY store guides you step by step to calmly prepare for the arrival of your baby, without stress or unnecessary expenses. Whether you're more of an anticipation or last-minute type, here you'll find all the practical advice you need to choose your newborn clothes (set, sleeping bag, personalized gift set, etc.), while avoiding common pitfalls!

When can you start buying baby clothes?

One of the first questions expectant parents ask is: "When should I start baby shopping?"
While there's no universal rule, the second trimester is often the ideal time. Specifically, between the 5th and 7th months of pregnancy , you'll have more peace of mind and the energy to get organized.

YOZY store advice: Don't wait until the 8th month. If your baby decides to arrive earlier, you might be caught off guard.

Should you buy everything in advance? Or buy as you go?

It all depends on your temperament:

  • If you're the forward-thinking type, buying in advance will give you peace of mind.
  • If you prefer to observe the actual needs after birth, buy gradually , according to the baby's growth.

The essentials to plan before maternity:

Be careful with birth sizes!

❗ Newborn size is only suitable for babies under 50 cm and 3.3 kg. However, many babies are already born one size larger!
👉 At YOZY store , we make your life easier with newborn sets designed in one size (0-3 months) , to suit all body types from day one.

Can you buy clothes without knowing the sex of the baby?

Absolutely! Many parents prefer to keep the surprise until the birth.
In this case, opt for unisex and soft clothing : neutral tones (white, beige, sage green, etc.), discreet embroidery, natural materials such as organic cotton gauze.

👉 The YOZY bonus: our personalized items are available in several colors, to suit all tastes, regardless of the baby's gender.
Examples:
- Personalized baby blanket
- Personalized birth kit (4 colors)

Should you buy everything or make a birth list?

No need to buy everything yourself: those around you will certainly want to spoil you.
