When I had my first child, I got swept away with the endless amount of beautiful clothes I saw in the shops and bought many items that although looked very cute were simply not practical. White dresses and outfits can look very sweet, but often do not stay white for very long as any parent will know.
Baby milk, food, sick and general grubbing around on the floor will stain almost all clothes and white is particularly hard to get clean again, especially when you are not supposed to use harsh chemicals on their clothes and they recommend you use non bio washing powder, which is gentle on the skin but also does not wash as well as bio.
If like me you find that you have many outfits that they have hardly worn or that have been ruined after one or two wears then try and learn from your mistakes and find clothing that you like but is also practical.
