All those fussy little baby outfits and booties are a big fat waste of money. Most bubs hate being dressed and fussed over, and because they can't hold their head up for AGES anything with fussy bows or zips just won't sit right and no doubt scratch them. Without a doubt good old cheapie gro-suits are the only thing a newnorn "needs" as clothing (and singlets and socks underneath if it is cold, or just a singlet and nappy if its hot).
