What to Look for When Shopping for Baby Sunglasses
- Coverage all the way around the eye: sunglass lenses should cover the entire area around your baby's eye - including the sides.
- Frame flexibility: babies can be tough on their stuff. Make sure that baby sunglasses have a bit of give or flexibility so they're not easily broken.
- Category 3 or 4 lenses: these are the darkest of lenses and will give your baby the ultimate in protection. Avoid sunglasses that have light colored lenses.
- UVA, UVB and UVC protection: when baby sunglasses protect against all three, you know their eyes are totally safe.
- Wrap-around flexible band: a flexible, elastic band will make sure sunglasses stay put and that baby can't pull them off. You will find these with both Velcro closure and without.

Stylish Baby Overalls For Boys & Girls
Baby overalls are a popular piece of clothing for kids. The variety in styles, designs, and material make them appropriate for both baby boys and girls.
Also known as bib overalls, these baby boy clothes are associated with workmen and farmers because of their comfortable fit, numerous pockets, and sturdy construction. It was in the 1900s when OshKosh B’Gosh made a kids version of this outfit so that they can adapt the look of their fathers. They were a great hit back then and although they are now seen as a common piece of infant or toddler clothing, they are still a popular choice among parents due to their appearance and durability.Tuesday, September 14, 2010

Let Your Baby's Weight Determine the Size He Should Wear
Baby clothing comes in very standard sizes, but just like adult clothing, every brand has a different opinion on what constitutes a specific size. That's why it's so important to consult a baby clothes size chart and consider your baby's weight when trying to figure out the right baby clothing size to purchase. If you don't you run the risk of your baby wearing clothing that is too tight and uncomfortable for him or her.

Would You Let Your Baby Wear a Bikini?
Girls are growing up fast these days, betweenBotox, pole dancing, and skinny jeans all happening at young ages. But this is a new one, bringing it all down to a new low: string bikinis on infants!
Yep, string bikinis. Not two-piece suits. Made by Babi-kini, these are most definitely the kind of bikinis that you tie with strings, and come in various patterns including zebra and leopard prints (!!). This seems more than a little inappropriate for anyone whose age doesn't end in -teen or up.
Moms, would you let your daughter wear one of these?

Would You Wear Ugly Clothes to Make Your Baby Smarter?
You sacrifice a lot for your kids, but how far is too far? Are you willing to give up your style, too? Momprenuer Megan Kelleher's new line of clothing, Tutuortogs, claim to aid in baby's visual development and encourage baby’s ability to track objects, using high-contrast, black and white patterns that you'd usually see on a table cloth or at the race track -- not in your closet. We all want the best for our babies, but we also want to stay chic. So we suggest you download the baby-approved patterns to show your baby instead of wearing them.
