Baby clothing basics - where do you buy?

[Ritchie30]

FTM here, looking for baby basics such as vests and sleepsuits etc 🙂

Most big shops and supermarkets have all the basics for pretty reasonable prices (although hard to get hold of at the moment 😅) but wondering if there are any you would recommend over others in terms of quality/fit/washing well? 😊

Sainsbury’s Tu, M&S, Next and Asda. That order.

Following this thread! Also a FTM, due in December so I've got ages, but I'm starting my research now so I'm reading to go! I know what I think looks nice so far (M&S and H&M) but not sure what actually is nice!

Morrison's nutmeg range as well

The best vest I found were marks and spencers and the best sleepsuits from next. They wash and wear brilliantly. I have some sleepsuits ready for our 3rd daughter used by both her sisters and still look like new.

Tu all the way! Especially when it’s 25% off. I rate their gro-bags too

Friends rate Tu highly

TU for sleepsuits and baby grows and sleepsuits , followed by next (clearance). Both wash really well and are good sizing.

The 25% for TU is really good keep an eye out for it

@glasshalfsomething agree re the growbags too

Thanks everyone 😊 this forum is so handy!! I’ll keep an eye on them all for stock coming back in 😊

Although not mentioned in my original post I also agree that Nutmeg at Morrison’s and Florence an Fred at Tesco’s are also quite good. But TU at Sainsburys still my number 1.

I didn't realise Tu was so good! Predicted date for 25% off is 11 August!

Honestly with baby clothes I have found the more you spend the better quality which is unusual for high street in adult clothes!

Best Quality
John Lewis
M&S
Next

Medium Quality
H&M
TU (sainsburys) though sizing can be small

Worst Quality (as in I wouldn't buy from them again-terrible!)
Matalan
Primark
George

I love next baby clothes, but only in the sale otherwise it can be pricey. Marks and Spencers have nice bits too, especially with the 20% sparks offer they sometimes do.
TU clothes are good value and wash well

Our baby stuff was mainly from Asda, next or m&s. I didn’t actually buy m&s but so many gifts were from there and they are nice. Asda was great for vests or cheap baby grows but I preferred next generally, their stuff is much nicer but also easily double the price.

Sainsbury's 100%

They wash and tumble dry lovely, plus cost is great, even without the 25% off.

Found asda stuff shrinks and goes bobbly, have found aldi baby grows and vests very good too

The Pima cotton line at John Lewis is really nice but comes in and out of stock: www.johnlewis.com/search?Ntt=Baby+Pima

I liked John Lewis and Next. The in store selections for Next were often really heavily gendered (which I hate) but they have a much wider range online. Both JL and next were much thicker and softer than others we had.

I didn’t try Tu for sleepsuits but they were good for older baby clothes so I’d say definitely worth a try! Agree re avoiding ASDA and Primark.
