Babies, babies, babies!

Seems like everybody’s having them these days, doesn’t it?

I remember when I was pregnant with my first child, I armed myself with my baby registry scanner and registered for just about every single thing I could find.  I registered for bottles, pacifiers and toys I’d never even use.  When a friend of mine asked me if I registered for a layette, I said “A wha-?”

I honestly never even thought about what I’d bring the baby home in.  I had no idea they took pictures of the baby in the hospital and I seriously didn’t know that I should get a super cute outfit to put on my baby when it was time for the pictures.

When I was finally schooled on the facts and traditions of parenthood, I then had to choose the layette I’d want my baby to wear.   I looked in stores and online and really wanted to make sure I chose what would not only look adorable, I wanted something that was super soft and okay against my babies sensitive skin.

According to First Impressions,  a layette is made up of all the soft pieces your newborn needs for his or her fist days and weeks.  These include:

• 6-8 Footed Coveralls
• 1 Hooded Towel
• 1 Hat
• 4-6 Convertible Gowns
• 4-6 Blankets
• 1 Robe
• 4-6 pair of pants
• 3 Take me home sets
• 9-12 bodysuits

First Impressions, which can be found only at Macy’s sent me this super cute six piece layette set to review.  Since I don’t have a super cute teeny tiny little baby of my own to try it on, I gave it to my friend as a shower gift and asked her what her thoughts were.  

Although they don’t come tagless, these clothes are super soft and durable.  They stand up to multiple washings and have easy-to-snap buttons on the bodysuits.   With the soft colors and cute designs, your baby is sure to look adorable in his/her first set of hospital pictures and you can be rest assured you’ve put your child in the highest quality fabric.

This set includes 1 coverall, 2 bodysuits, 1 pant, 1 cap and 1 bib and is available in yellow, khaki and teal for preemies and babies aged 0-3 months, 3-6 months or 6-9 months of age.  It’s sold in store and online at Macys.com $19.98 per set and is the perfect shower gift for new parents to welcome their baby home with!
