A: Congratulations – that must be so exciting! He is probably wearing size 12-18 months now, so if you’re planning ahead, you’d want the 18-24 month size clothing. If you end up getting him a few months later than expected, go for 24 months or 2T. Even if the clothing is a little big, he’ll grow into it in no time at all.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, just ask!

A: You’re in luck! We do offer the 3-6 month size, sold as a set of two. Check them out here: http://www.giggle.com/p/21339/Long-Sleeve-Baby-Body---Set-of-2-Organic-Cotton.aspx?s=1&keyword=baby+body

By the way, this goes for all of the kimono-style clothing; you can get them in the larger size as a two pack.

A: Great question; this is a topic that’s on a lot of people’s minds! On its own, “organic” means that an item was produced without the use of chemicals and pesticides. However, that’s technically a claim that anyone can make without having to prove it. “Certified organic” means an independent organization has validated that the item is organic, backing up the manufacturer’s claim.

When it comes to food, the USDA has standards of what is organic and what is not. But when it comes to clothing, there is no federal standard. However, there are a growing number of certifying bodies approving “organic” standards in various product categories, including clothing. The certification we’re most excited to find is GOTs – which is quickly becoming what most consider the highest standards.

Another issue to be aware of is to differentiate between whether an item is made from organic materials or if it’s all-organic. Oftentimes, the material used can be organic, but the dyes used to create patterns or colors – or in nontextiles provide other features like scents – are not necessarily organic or even natural . To a make sure you’re getting the purest product possible, look for certifications that clarify and differentiate among the materials (surface and at times stuffing) as well as dyes.

A: This one-piece suit is called a bunting. The term “bunting" can refer to an item that has legs, or is closed at the bottom, like a sack. Check out these bunting options we love!

A: Doctors recommend flexible, soft sole shoes until two years of age to allow for proper foot development, because babies' feet don't start out flat like ours. In those early days, the shoe is mostly there to keep your baby's feet covered, rather than provide support, so they don't need to be hard soled yet anyway. So when do you make the switch? At two years, your little one will be much more active and that's when you should transition to a hard soled shoe.

A: UPF clothing is clothing with built-in protection from ultraviolet rays. Lightweight clothing, although it covers skin, still only has a UPF of about 5. But you can buy special clothing with extra sun protection built in, which protects your child's skin from the sun's harmful rays. Our UPF 50 clothing is a great way to give your child some extra protection.
