I mostly focus on boys’ clothes for young boys to teens, but readers are interested in knowing what to buy for infant baby boys to toddlers. Mothers of boys will agree that getting readily available clothing is a challenge whatever age group the boys fall into.
You will find that baby boys’ clothes are sized according to months. As each brand size may be a little different, a mother will look at the length, weight, and how fast the baby is growing to make a determination on the purchase. As always comfort is a top priority. Sticking to a list and a budget is next
Newborns 
The Newborn baby has some specific clothing requirements. This is the first three months of your baby’s life. Especially if you are a new mother, be aware of some stores which will try to lure you into overbuying at this stage. You will not need to buy a lot of clothing at this time, instead focus on getting the necessary items that your baby boy will need. You will see items that are cute but are not necessary. Some necessary items include but are not limited to:
(1) Sleepers – Your baby boy will spend most of his time sleeping, so be sure to pick up a few of these, they can be snapped or zipped up the front, your choice.
(2) Onesies – These are sold in both long or short sleeves. You can choose either depending on the season your baby boy arrives.
(3) Pants – Grab a few pairs of soft knit that will match many of his onesies. Also, get a few soft cotton tees. Again these can be long or short sleeves, depending on the season.
(4) Bibs – Whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding, it is a good idea to get a few as babies tend to spit up sometimes, these will also help your baby stay clean longer.
(5) Socks – Invest in a few pairs for your baby boy at this stage. Their little feet may get chilly sometimes. These can also be used at different stages as he grows.
(6) Hats – Grab at least a couple of these to keep your little boy’s head warm.
Infant
After the newborn stage, he comes to the infant stage, that is, between three to twelve months. During this stage, he will spend more time playing and discovering his surroundings and less time sleeping. As always, comfort is key.
As he enters the crawling stage this is where his clothing needs will change from sleepers to playwear. The suggested items for the newborn will still be needed, but at this stage, they are in a larger size. You may also consider adding the following items if it is the colder season:
(1) Outerwear – A winter coat or jacket.
(2) Sweater – If it is not very cold or a light jacket.
(3) Accessories – Such as scarf, gloves, and beanie.
You may also see some nice clothing, but they are not necessary at this stage, such as crib shoes, overalls, rompers, or button-down shirts.
Toddlers 
After the infant stage, they move into a toddler, that is between the ages of one year to three years. Once your baby boy is up and running around, his clothing needs will be changed again. Combine both the suggested list for newborns and infants, paying special attention to the season, and go for larger sizes that will fit your little boy comfortably at this stage. Taking special care that they are not too tight or too big a fit. You may now also add to the list:
(1) Bottoms – Knit or denim shorts, khaki pants, or jeans depending on the season and the temperature.
(2) Pajamas – At this stage, you can switch from sleepers.
(3) Accessories – You can grab a sun hat or a winter hat along with a couple pairs of mittens.
(4) Formal Wear – Your baby boy is now starting to look like a boy and so he can start dressing in dress slacks, a button-down shirt with a vest or jacket for a formal occasion.
(5) Swimwear – Now is a good time to invest in a pair of swim trunks.
(6) Shoes & Boots – Now that he is walking, he will need shoes that will help his development, and depending on the season, he may also need a pair of boots.
Limit the number of items purchased in each category, as they will soon be outgrown.
Where & How To Shop
After making note of your baby boys’ needs, your next step is knowing how to shop and your shopping options. Where you decide to shop will depend largely on your budget.
(1) Look out for retailers and stores which specialize in baby clothing. Check out their special discounts and clearance prices.
(2) Buy off-season, that is buying summer clothes at the end of summer in preparation for the next summer, and always remember to buy a size or two up.
(3) Before starting out shopping, set your budget and make a list of the items needed, so that you do not buy what he already has and forget his needs. Also, know where you will be buying each item.
Conclusion
The truth is, when it comes to buying baby clothes, you only need to buy a little at a time as they grow very fast and will soon outgrow them. From the newborn stage to the toddler, mothers must aim to provide comfortable and necessary clothing for the baby boy. It does not have to be overwhelming or costly. Shop with a list and also stick to the budget.
