What to buy for your summer baby

When preparing for a new arrival, it can be difficult to know what to buy since there’s so much choice and shopping lists tend to vary greatly. But it doesn’t all have to be so challenging.

We are regularly helping parents-to-be find out what they need for their newborns, and here’s a brief overview of what most of our customers would want to buy for their summer babies:

Blankets
It’s a good idea to start with two blankets, and if you’re expecting a summer baby, you might want to have one in cotton/cashmere for warm days and one in merino/cashmere for colder days. Many opt for our cot blankets, as blankets in this size are still useful to have when baby is older.

Cardigans
It’s also practical to start with two cardigans in size 0-6 months, which baby can wear when out in the pram, for example. Our hand-knitted cardigans are soft and unique, and you can choose from a wide selection of colour combinations. For summer, our cotton/cashmere blend is a brilliant option, and matching cardigans and booties make adorable outfits for photo shoots.

Hats
Even if baby is born during the summer months, it’s worth having a couple of hats at hand. Cotton or cashmere are great options over the summer, and you can choose to have our selection of hand-knitted hats in the same colours as the cardigans and blankets. Very stylish!

Babygrows
In addition to knitwear, we recommend parents-to-be to buy some babygrows. Many choose to start with four in size 0-3 months, and our Kissy Kissy baby grows are a favourite with parents of newborns, as they are made in 100% Pima cotton and have a soft and luxurious feel.
