How to Choose and Buy Baby Clothes – Holidaying in the UK

If your holiday is UK based you want to make sure that you have enough changes of outfits to cope with all kinds of weather – even in the height of summer we can see thunderous storms that bring torrential downpours and humidity.

In general terms if you are taking a baby under a year on holiday you are looking at taking at least three changes of clothes a day if not more to cope with all the dribbles and accidents that happen every day.

Make sure that you have numerous bibs in baby’s suitcase including disposables just in case you run out of the ‘real’ ones.

Take at least two swimwear outfits with UV protection to give you some flexibility should you decide it’s a great idea to go in the sea, the hotel pool, paddling pool or one of the Lido’s. Accompanying the swimwear should be a great sunhat just in case we’re hit with a heatwave.

When you go on an outdoor style holiday take a waterproof all-in-one too. Togz have great all in one waterproof coats and trousers too that are quick drying. Togz overbootees are also a good idea to keep baby’s feet dry.

Togz has different styles of outerwear – in winter Togz sell all in ones with fleecy lining and in summer they sell all in ones with no lining to take account of the warmer weather.

Babies are quite adaptable and don’t really care about whether their top matches their bottoms, so don’t get into a pickle if you take a baby out for the day looking like Noddy or his socks are different. Just make sure you take spare socks or tights as they’re generally the first things that need replacing.

We recommend that you check out the following online stores and brands: Mothercare, John Lewis, No Added Sugar, Baby-O, Boden, Igloo Kids, Lion in the Sun and Zoggs.
