“We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.” said Henry
Ward Beecher. But such talk is carefully preserved for birthdays, new years, and
graduation days. Replace the word love with pain, and I am sure all parents would
agree.

There’s so much to say and I honestly don’t know where to begin.

We grow with our kids, so you will do mistakes in the process and that’s just how it was for your parents, it is for you and will be when your kids become parents. Let’s start with the most important part of clothing for the first 2 ½ years of your toddler -DIAPERS! The most accessible and most convenient answer is Disposable ones.

- Easier to use while traveling
- They eliminate the need for plastic pants

So if you do choose these for your infant, here are some tips that might help you out-Trying out different sample brands can help you find your ideal quality and softness. To prevent rash, using brands that do not allow the plastic to stick to the skin of the baby can be preferred. Referring to the size and weight chart before buying will save you a lot of trouble afterward. Don’t use brands that clump, shred, or bunch up when wet since your baby could ingest loose paper pieces. You should also buy masking tape and keep a pair of scissors handy for times when you need a little more adhesive or when you have a diaper with a defective tape. Disposing of diapers properly is very important as well. Some disposables have parts that can be easily flushed. you should try to flush as much waste from the diaper as possible. Then tightly roll up the diaper so the soiled area is not open to the air, and seal the diaper with diaper tape before throwing it out. All that glitters just might be gold in this case, except for the fact that the disposables are NOT environment friendly. Apart from being non-biodegradable and non-recyclable, they are a huge environmental hazard and can give birth to various viruses in areas where they are disposed of. Hence the other alternative that you can go for is Home-made Cloth Diapers. But take into account the work, time, and resource requirements that come with it. Here’s here an extra tip from our side – No matter what diaper you use, running into diaper rash is pretty normal. So change your kid’s diaper as soon as it becomes wet/spoiled, and if possible, let their bottom air dry. A lot has been said concerning the bottoms and none of it was unnecessary. Let’s move on to some miraculous-working infant tips from our end.
1. Comfort. comfort and COMFORT!
Teaching your kids the value of comfort in terms of clothing since birth makes them better individuals and decreases the chances of them changing their choices due to societal trends/ standards. While fancy clothes might look cool, they often restrict movement, so teach them that comfort is cooler.
2. Be Practical!
Babies are not neat and you should not expect them to be. All clothes should be machine washable. Buying more is better than buying expensive. Your child is in a stage of active growth, so, Buckle fasteners/ elastics/ clothes with greater margins are better than skin fits/ buttoned ones.
3. Bright colors do the job!
If your little one moves a lot and gives you a lot of trouble, then bright-colored clothes can make tracking them easier – inside and outside. They are unisex, so before you let them dress their way, you are also not imposing a choice on them as well.
4. Child sizes are not standardized!
So before you shop online, get acquainted with the sizes and fabrics. Shopping offline can help you examine each and every item. P.s. I can’t refrain from mentioning the world-class facilities that HumptyDumpty Kid’s Store Outlets provide. You can examine it for yourself!
5.Let them Experiment!
Who said that it is necessary to sit with a paper pen to teach your kids life lessons. Are they having trouble choosing which chocolate is better? You can slowly teach them decision-making by allowing them to have a say in the kind of clothes they wear, games they play, or accessories they adorn.
And while you can, record every bit of this amazing journey, not just the first time they walk but the first time they mess up their t-shirts or color beyond borders or trip over the bed. By recording their failures you take away the fear of failure from them. And this just might be the best way you can contribute to their success.
