Is it time to start thinking about your baby's coming home outfit? How exciting!
If you know you're having a little boy, it's natural to start looking at boy clothes specifically but don't feel like you have to! There are so many gorgeous unisex options nowadays or even if you fancy a stereotypically 'girly' outfit, go for it! As far as we're concerned here at M&B HQ, as long as you love it, that's all that matters.
Typically, new parents quite often go for babygrows and rompers as these are easy to get your baby in and out of, especially when it comes to all those nappy changes. However, lots of baby clothes now have clever features like extra poppers or zips that make changing your newborn quick and easy so don't feel limited by all-in-ones although we would recommend you consider how much effort will be involved with dressing your baby in a particular outfit.
Without further ado, prepare for some serious cuteness ahead...
