Does a purple top, a black jumper dress and leopard print flats go together???????

If there's black in the flats, yes.

Gone are the days when parents wrapped their newborns in white swaddling clothes and called it a day. These days, appearances count — even for babies. In fact, entire magazines are devoted to newborn baby girl clothes. Children's clothing stores are becoming a popular shopping destination for new moms. And even the online retailers have gotten into the act.

But whether you're bargain-hunting or seeking the latest releases from the hottest children's clothes designers, you should keep several things in mind to make sure you're spending your money wisely. Resist the temptation to buy something only because it's cute. You must also consider comfort and function. After all — when it's all said and done, "if baby ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"

In this article, we'll provide some tips to help you choose newborn baby girl clothes wisely.

Let's start with the absolute essentials. Most importantly, newborn baby girl clothes should be comfortable. Make sure that the openings for the legs, arms and neck are wide enough to accommodate your baby's movements without binding and chafing. It's a good idea to put your hand into each of these garment openings and slide your skin along the elastic. If the elastic feels rough or stiff to you, it will also be uncomfortable for the baby.

Next, consider the construction of the garment itself. Does it have a lot of decoration, such as ruffles or lace? If so, make sure that these decorative flourishes won't be irritating to baby. Some types of lace can be surprisingly abrasive, and too many ruffles can be ticklish to sensitive skin.

Also, keep the size of the clothes in mind. Newborn baby girl clothes actually come in a range of sizes — and some of them may be too small for your baby. To be most comfortable, infant clothing should be fairly loose. If you can't fit your index finger between the baby's limbs and the garment, it may be too tight.

Now, we'll move on to some of the different types of baby clothing that are available — and why it's a good idea to have at least one or two of each. One of the things many new parents comment on is the sheer variety of baby clothing that's available. For a few parents, it can even feel a little overwhelming.

But, while it may be tempting to just buy 8 onesies and call it a day, there are actually some good reasons for purchasing different types of newborn baby girl clothes. Just as with adults' clothing, different baby outfits serve different purposes. Garments such as rompers and onesies are a great all-around choice for small infants because they're comfortable for the baby and easy to clean for the parent.

That said, there are times when you'll want to dress baby up. For most occasions, a baby girl will be comfortable in tights and a jumper or dress. This still allows for easy cleaning, but also permits the little one freedom to move her limbs without restriction. (This can be very important if you're away from home, as some babies become restless if they feel restricted.)

Likewise, it's a good idea to buy two or three nightgowns or sleepsuits. Lightweight cotton sleepsuits or nightgowns are the best option, because they are warm and absorbent. However, check to make sure that the fabric is fire-retardant. And as we discussed in our first installment, you should try to avoid too many frilly details like ribbons, lace and large buttons. Not only can these be uncomfortable, but in some cases they may even pose a safety hazard.

Now, let's turn our attention to ease of use and convenience. It may be easy to overlook these attributes when you're holding an adorable dress for your newborn baby, but you should consider your purchase as critically as you would, were you buying yourself a dress.

Start by looking at the fabric content. It is easy to care for? Does the garment care tag specifically say that the garment can be machine-washed and dried? Although you may not mind having to dry-clean a baptism dress, you'll want to be sure that your baby's everyday clothes will be as easy to care for as your own sweats and jeans. Remember that you'll be washing them often.

When considering the fabric, also consider how it will feel to the baby. Cotton is usually favored for newborn baby girl clothes because it's soft against the skin, and because it's breathable. Although some synthetic materials may also be soft, they don't wick moisture off the skin, as cotton does. This can trap sweat or water against the skin, which can cause chafing, rashes, and other skin irritations.

Finally, you should consider the construction of the garment itself before you buy. Some newborn baby girl clothes feature lots of buttons and ribbons. Although these are undeniably cute and appealing to look at, they also represent extra work for the parent when it comes to dress and undress the baby. This can be problematic if a hasty changing is required, or if the baby is in a fussy mood. Instead, look for garments that close with velcro or snaps.

We hope these tips on choosing newborn baby girl clothes have helped you become a more informed consumer so you can make better decisions about which clothes to buy for the little one in your life. With all the variety out there, you should have no difficulty finding something that's cute, comfortable, suitable to the occasion, and easy to care for.
