If you buy directly in the USA on Carters.com, you can save 50-80% on good clothes for your baby. Items from there are often brought in and sold in Russia with a huge markup.
What should you get so your baby will be delighted with their first years, and you can enjoy them together? And roughly how much does it cost in America? Let's check.
1. Sleeper (onesie). A baby jumpsuit for a newborn's body, legs, and arms. You can't do without a sleeper, it's the most practical and convenient item, both for the child and for the parent. It's best if the snaps are located in the middle. You need at least three of these sleepers for the first year to year and a half (one in the wash, one in the closet, one on the child).
On Carter's, sleepers (pajamas, jumpsuits, whatever you want to call them) are located in the One Piece category. There you can also choose how old your child is (newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and so on) so the size fits perfectly.
The cost of sleepers now starts from $8 (thanks to discounts, usually the price is from $16). That is 520 rubles. One sleeper of similar quality made of microfleece, not used, in Russia costs from 950 rubles. And you need several of them...
2. Bodysuit (with sleeves, but without legs). Very convenient to take off and put on, plus it lets you quickly change the baby's diaper. Ideally, the fastener is located at the bottom. You will need two bodysuits.
On Carter's they are in the Bodysuits section, price — from $5 to $19. That is, from 330 rubles. In Russia, if you check, they want 990-1990 rubles for the same bodysuit.
Go to Carters.com, choose whether you have a Baby Boy or Baby Girl, click this section, choose one of 150+ suitable bodysuits. That's it, you saved almost a thousand rubles, plus got a decent selection of products.
3. Rompers or pants. A good option to pair with bodysuits. It's preferable to get them with a high waistband so there is enough room in them and they do not cause discomfort to the child.
At Carter's these are Leggings and Pants, very stylish and interesting, almost like for adults. Only organic and only cotton. From $5 (330 rubles).
4. T-shirt or a long-sleeve top. A little harder to put on, you have to pass it over the head. But changing a diaper is easiest this way, and such a T-shirt can last a long time.
At Carter's they start at $8 (520 rubles). Sections — Tops and Graphic Tees.
5. Cap. Fresh air is important for the baby, and peace of mind for the mother. And beautiful photos are a separate plus. You will need three caps: a warm one for winter, a light one for autumn-spring, and a sun hat for summer.
At Carter's from $8 (or $13 for three pieces).
6. Socks. You can't do without them. The little one's feet should be warm. Take three or four pairs, plus several for growth.
At Carter's from $9 for 6 pairs, or $7 for three pairs.
