Like I said...I start asking probing questions so I know I get it right the first time. I was a bride so I know what you use and you don't use. I was a new mom so I know what you like and you don't like. As far as outfits go, I have always been I dress my son very well so nobody has ever not liked the outfits. I usually just buy basics: onesies, jeans, sleep n plays, rompers, usually all in one outfits because when the baby gets mobile, they are the easiest thing to keep the child in. I go by the rule of thumb always buy six months ahead of the child's age. That means if the child will be 6 months in the summer, I buy 12 month clothes. More wiggle room. 90% of the stuff I give new moms is returnable at wally world without receipt. As far as new brides go, well...if anything, they can regift it!! I have never been asked for a receipt to return so I can't tell you what I would do!
