Newborn Baby Clothing Essentials

Choosing newborn baby clothing is a lovely moment when you are expecting a new baby. When designing our new organic baby clothing collection, I had four "must-haves" on my list.
These were what I myself, as a mum, couldn't do without for those first few weeks.

Rompers - For ease of dressing nothing beats a rompersuit! Arabella Miller rompers have lap (envelope) shoulders for easy dressing and are available in two cool organic prints. Inside-leg poppers mean you can dress baby quickly and as they're footless, they last that little bit longer than babygros with feet.

Baby Hats - Even if your little one arrives with a full head of hair (!) every newborn baby needs a baby hat to keep their little noggin warm. I designed a fuss-free beanie style which looks cute on both baby boys and girls.

Nightgowns - A baby sleepgown is essential for the first few months, keeping baby snug and warm but providing easy nappy access for nightime changes. I found my nightgowns so useful that I designed the Arabella Miller sleepgowns to be that little bit longer to last between 6-9 months. Nothing beats eczema-friendly soft organic cotton next to your baby's sensitive skin.

Baby Blankets - Truly versatile - for both the early months and beyond. I designed an extra large organic cotton baby blanket so that you can use it at night, as a pram or buggy blanket, or during the day as a play mat. Arabella Miller organic cotton baby blankets are an affordable luxury buy - a double layer of organic cotton in two delicious prints with a contrast trim. My baby blankets can be washed again and again and then handed down, still looking hip and feeling soft.
