#8: Cute Clothing Quandary
Look, I get wanting to dress your kid up all cute. Personally, I think there’s nothing more adorable than babies in grown-up clothes: little boys in tiny shirts and ties, little girls in tiny dresses. But here’s the thing: babies are super messy, and if you dress your baby cute all the time, you’re just guaranteeing that the cute clothes will someday be the victim of a diaper blowout and will never be the same again.
Smart moms put their babies in casual, easy-to-wash clothing whenever they don’t have a particular reason to dress them up. And a smart mom with no money would realize that the commenter is correct: the kid is never going to realize that the clothes you have on them are for the opposite gender. Just take the free clothes and save the cute, girly ones for special occasions.
