Finding the proper clothing sizes for children can be tricky. Each child grows at their own pace, and sizes can vary between brands. Here are some tips to help you choose the right fit
AGE-BASED SIZING
Most baby and toddler clothing brands use age-based sizing. Baby sizes are typically shown as ranges like 0-3 months or 6-12 months. Toddler sizes try to match the child's age in years and are labeled as 2T, 3T, and 4T, with “T” meaning toddler.
TRANSITIONING FROM BABY TO TODDLER CLOTHES
When transitioning from baby to toddler sizes (24 months - 2T), the key difference is garment length and width. Baby sizes will be wider and shorter cut, while toddler garments will be slimmer and longer in length.
KEEP GROWTH IN MIND
Kids grow up quickly, so it's smart to buy clothing slightly larger than what your child needs.
Baby Sizing Chart
Many brands provide size charts that help you choose the right size based on your child's height and weight. Having these measurements handy makes choosing the right size easier. Be sure to review the sizing charts for each brand, as sizing may vary by manufacturer.

Things To Consider for Baby Clothes
While cuteness is often a big factor in picking out baby clothes, it shouldn't be the only factor. You'll want to consider these other important things when picking out clothes for your baby to wear.
SOFTNESS
Softer fabrics help to minimize friction and help prevent rash or irritation.
BREATHABILITY
Small babies have a harder time regulating their temperature, so you'll want clothes made from fabrics that retain heat, but are still breathable.
DURABILITY
Life with a baby is full of spills and other messes. Make sure their clothes can handle the everyday wear and tear.
HYPOALLERGENIC
Your baby's sensitive skin may react to certain fabrics. Choosing fabrics that are hypoallergenic helps prevent irritation.
SAFETY
Avoid cords and drawstrings. Features like hook-and-loop or snap closures are great alternatives.
EASE OF CARE
Some outfits may require a bit more care when cleaning, such as if they have lace or other delicate enhancements.
CURRENT SEASON
Be sure to match the clothing with the current weather. As kids get older, you will have separate summer and winter clothes.
MOBILITY OF BABY
As your little one begins to move more, you'll want stretchy fabrics that allow for free range of movement.
