There's nothing better than curling up in your most worn in lounge wear. But since kids grow like weeds, most don't have clothes that have softened in time.
The folks at Splendid created children's clothing that is cuddly from the get go by introducing Splendid Littles in 2005. The bright, colorful t-shirts, dresses and hoodies are for the next generation. To learn more about the line, read more
Fashion Week is a great opportunity to get organized and teach your kids colors while cleaning up their closets.
Tidy up the space by placing coordinating colors together — pinks, reds, purples and blues, etc.
The exercise will educate your children and make it easier for them to pull items while getting dressed.
Organic was all the rage at the Children’s Club show. Clothing companies finally understand that moms want what's best for their children, but can't always afford to pay a premium for it.
Krawlers, a Brooklyn-based company that designs children’s clothing that's easy to put on squirmy tots is launching an organic line. Sold on the company’s website, Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us stores, Krawlers' first organic line will hit the market in mid February and will feature some of the company’s best-known features — well-placed snaps, wide openings, and zippers lined for the inside to help protect babies from pinching.
The designs are hip, with recycling messages on T-shirts and embroidered trees on the denim jackets. They will also continue to design their pants with knee quilting to protect babies' knees as they learn to crawl (see the leggings at right). Priced from $15-$33, the Krawlers line will help many moms join the organic movement without breaking the bank.
No lil wardrobe is complete with out something from the lilsugar line.
From pastel onesies ($11) to bibs ($8) to tot tees ($13), they flatter any tiny figure and can be worn while toting around our teddy bear ($14).
Perfect gifts for baby showers, births and birthdays — these cute items make a sweet statement without breaking the bank.
Swaddling blankets are not the same around the world. While cotton blankets may be the standard for swaddling your newborn in the U.S., in Australia, lightweight muslin wraps are ubiquitous. Muslin is a 100% cotton, naturally breathable fabric that keeps your baby warm without overheating her. Best of all, the fabric is durable and becomes softer with each washing.

I remember seeing these darling animal print moccasins ($42 – $44) when I was pregnant and swore I would buy them if I had a baby girl. Well, now I am eating my words because I missed the boat. My daughter's one and the precious footwear only comes in size 0–6 months.
If you know a pregnant mama who is expecting a girl, these fab shoes are sure to be a hit at her baby shower. The festive prints are adorably highlighted with bright contrasting stitching and lining. Oh, how I wish they came in my size!
Think your baby boy is ready to rock out to your favorite music? Then you might want to consider having him dress the part! Baby Rock Apparel first hit the market four years ago when the owners could not find trendy baby clothes for their lil boys.
They started off with a line of hip onesie gift sets and t-shirts that brought out the bad boy in their dudes.
This spring, your guy can decide if he wants to support the surfer vs. skater debate, with the t-shirt at left ($26), or defend Maddox’s Mohawk with the short-sleeve tee pictured on the right ($26). If you have a nephew in need of some cool clothes, the company offers gift packaging that includes a tin suitcase to deliver the goods for a few dollars more. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having your son declare his love for you with a classic Mommy Rocks t-shirt as well!
Flip-flops and summer may be synonymous for adults, but it isn’t that easy for lil tikes. If you are over the whole Crocs phenomenon and looking for something a lil preppier for your toddler, you may just fall for these adorable kiddy flip-flops I saw at the Children’s Club show. Toe Goz has created a line of thongs with comfortable toe pieces and adjustable heel straps to keep the shoes in place. Featuring fun designs like goldfish, butterflies and sailboats, the shoes ($16) are sold in sizes T4-T11.
This spring the company has mom in mind too, as they introduce beach bag inspired diaper bags to match the flip flops. With exterior bottle holders and nylon linings, the bags ($30) will complete your summer by the shore look.
Cashmere-loving lil ones and their parents are big fans of fancy brand Baby CZ. Founded in 2002, it offers traditional designs and two-ply cashmere pieces for children as well as plush blankets.
In the last few years, the company has expanded to include cotton pieces, dresses, and accessories.
The Spring line, available Feb. 1, is reminiscent of seaside vacation attire with several navy and white cotton garments for tots, like the poplin Marlene dress pictured ($100 to $110). And you can stock up on swank staples like BabyCZ's knit polos ($64 to $100).
The perfect cap for the cool kid, this knit bandit hat ($18) available in black or olive adds attitude to an outfit.
Featuring European inspired design and mesh vents, the acrylic hat fits lil rascals ages one to four years old. The soft fabric and bill make it a fashion forward cross between a beanie and a ball cap.
