This Season's Trends Can Be Found in Discount Children's Clothing

Fashion trends go beyond the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York City. And it isn't only fashionistas who are the trendsetters when it comes to what to wear for work or play. Although the big girls and boys grab the headlines, toddlers, boys, and girls have their own sense of style.

So, what's hot this season in the boutique world of children's clothing? It depends upon the age of the children and the lifestyle they lead. Here's the lowdown on what's uptown for children's clothes:

Casual Girls and Toddlers: The women's fashion trend in ponchos has translated to girls' clothing. Pair a poncho with bell-bottom pants and a textured mock turtleneck, and you've got a winning ensemble.

Dressy Girls and Toddlers: Fabrication and embellishments are key in dressing up the little missy. Embroidered flowers and velvet collars and cuffs are in style, while satin underskirts with tulle overlays are de rigueur for little girls' gowns. Rhinestone and sequin accents make little ones sparkle when they're wearing their special occasion dresses.

Girls' Accessories: Accessories are all about texture and bling this season, with furry (faux, of course) purses or fashion handbags with rhinestones and sequins topping the list. Party hair bows are multi-color, often featuring dots, and hair scrunchies have a little extra sparkly pizzazz.

Casual Boys and Toddlers: Functionality is always at the heart of boys' fashion, and this season is no exception. Casual boys' clothing is all about graphic, sports-themed T-shirts paired with stonewash jeans. For little tykes, construction-themed shirts and logo pants, as well as graphic T-shirts featuring popular cartoon characters are the standard uniform.

Dressy Boys and Toddlers: When it's time to ditch the jeans, boys and toddlers are climbing into corduroy pants, plaid shirts, and vests or sweater vests. The toddler wardrobe may also contain a pair of all-too-cute knickers, worn with a long-sleeved white shirt and bow tie. For older boys with older occasions, formalwear means a formal tuxedo - either black or white - complete with tails.

Unless you own you very own boutique, it's difficult to keep up with the latest trends in children's clothing without breaking the budget. Fortunately, there are a number of discount children's clothing stores, as well as online resources for discount children's clothing. Finding girls' dresses and gowns, as well as boys' casual and formalwear is a breeze when, with the click of your mouse, you can find discount children's clothing online.

Our Fuzzi Bunz Diapers are HERE!!!

I ordered from www.fuzzibunzonline.com I got a 24 pack and a 6 pack!!! YAY!!! I was SO excited for them to get here!!! And they fit Zoe SO well...I was worried about them fitting her because she so much older, but no worries anymore! They are super soft and are obviously a very high quality! We paid just under $700.00 for everything you see in this video...I know that sounds like a LOT ( and it is!) but you have to keep in mind that we NEVER have to purchase training pants or diapers again! With our second child due in May we know that he/she will get a TON of use out of them. We will get all our money back plus some within a year! And re-sale value on these diapers is amazing....I spent 700 and I could probably resale them in three years for right around 500 bucks ( if I keep them in good condition). I am using 7 of the diapers for Zoe and am saving the other 24 for our 2nd child, due in 7 months! We for sure look at this purchase as an investment in the future!!

New For Infants - G Diapers

Over the last decade there has been increasing awareness of the problems with disposable diapers, not only environmental problems, but there are growing health concerns surrounding them. They take up huge amounts of landfill space, they contain chemicals in the diapers that are being put next to your infants skin, in fact, there are some studies showing there has been an increased in problematic sexual development thought to be partly caused by the diapers. There is a growing concern about contaminating ground water from the feces being thrown away in disposable diapers. Did you know you are supposed to flush the feces before throwing them away? The best alternative is to use cloth diapers. I understand not everyone can do that.

Now there is an alternative, something new for infants, G diapers.

G diapers are a mix between disposable diapers and cloth diapers. This can be a great compromise for new moms who just don't have the time or inclination to use cloth diapers.

G diapers are a new flushable diaper. They are environmentally friendly, since you flush them down the toilet they do not add to the landfill. Babies are less likely to get diaper rash as they are "breathable". They are comfortable and easily fit most infants.

There is no elemental chlorine and no perfumes leaving your child less likely to react badly to these diapers. These ingredients in disposable diapers sometimes increase the amount of diaper rash a baby may experience.

These diapers are cute, coming in nice colors and not bulky - which can be a problem with cloth diapers. They also fit snugly to help contain leaks.

The process of using a g diaper is pretty easy. You receive a two part system. The reusable "g pants", and an absorbent insert. You insert the pad into the snap in liner and you are good to go. When the pad becomes soiled you simply unsnap and pull open the pad. You then dispose of it in the toilet by giving it a little swish with the swish stick (which is provided).

Many parents are finding the new g diapers for infants are curing terrible cases of diaper rash. Many state they have tried many different diapers but had no luck curing their infants diaper rash until they found the g diapers.

If you are looking for an alternative to both cloth diapers and disposables you might find that g diapers are the new diaper for infants

Sewing with Sumit: Modifying Pants to Fit

In this video, I show how you can easily modify pants that are too large at the waist to fit properly. In this example, I take some size 31" pants and reduce them to fit my 28" waist. If you find you're generally too small for store bought clothes (like I am) or find great used clothes that are just a bit too big (like I do), this tutorial will show you how to tailor them to your form.

Baby and Toddlers Clothes - The Evolution of Children's Clothing

Children's clothing evolved as with all the things that are now present today.

From the beginning, children's' clothing used color to separate the genders. Especially in the olden days where little boys looked like little girls, the distinction can be made by the color of the clothes. Girls wore pink and little boys wore blue, this is as much true today as it is in the era of days gone by.

Because of historical accounts available like painting and photographs, it was not easily distinguished if a child was male or female. Thus, not only do the clothes determined the gender but the general appearance as well. This was manifested by the hair style that they were told to wear. It became a strong convention that little girls wear pretty dresses and their hair long while the little boys were told to wear the pants and sport short hair. However due to the evolution of time, little girls of today have adopted to wearing pants but the day hasn't come yet where the boys adopted the dresses of girls!

In our modern world today, a general convention exists that girls are able to wear the clothes of boys but never the other way around. But that wasn't the case in the 19th century where little girls and boys were dressed alike. Although during that time, girls were not allowed to dress in pants, otherwise, there was not much difference in the way they were dressed.

Up to the time of the second world war, clothes associated with girls were dresses, pantalets, smocks and pinafores.

Dresses

This was the basic clothing of girls up to the second world war since it was not everyday occurrence that girls wore pants or shorts before the war.

Bloomers

This was another staple in the little girls' clothing where it served its purpose of
providing an alternative option to the restrictive and binding fashion sense during the 19th century. This can be attributed to Amelia Bloomer born 1818 - 1894 who was an American reformer espousing this cause. But the bloomer concept must be credited to Elizabeth Smith Miller as she was creator of the bloomers. Although this type of garment did not bloom at all.

Rompers

These were worn both by the girls and boys that were used primarily for play time. By the end of the second world war, rompers were basic staples for little girls wardrobe. They were usually used as costumes or uniforms for gym classes of girls.

Smocks

This is one generic children's clothing of years gone by. As this was so common, different styles, accessories, adornments, and other details filled the repertoire of how a smock can look like. There were smocks of different colors, smocks with different buttoning styles - buttons located at the back, in the front, or on the side. There were also smocks with collars, with trims, with ties, with pockets, with belts, etc. It was usual in the 1950s that smocks of identical cut were bought by mothers for their children.

Pinafores

This was a very essential piece of garment for the girls' wardrobe as they were usually worn by little girls of Europe and America.

Pantalets

These were worn both by boys and girls. Usually, boys wore plain pantalets while girls wore the fancier ones. But there were some boys who like to wear fancy Pantalets too.

Sailor suits

This was basically a boy's garment but it became a unisex garment as girls started to wear sailor suits too.

A Parents Guide to Toilet Training (Potty Training)

Toilet or potty training can be a frustrating time for parents and toddlers. My wife and I are getting to the end of toilet training with our son, but I wish we had prepared a bit earlier to make the process easier for all of us.

Most children learn to begin their bladder and later their bowels, between two to three years of age. Girls often before boys. Most parents, (well at least my wife and I!) only really start to think about toilet training when their child reaches around two.

But there's a lot of preparation that can be done before this age to make a child feel comfortable and acclimatized to the idea of going to the toilet before the experience begins.

Discuss with your child when they need to go to the toilet. "Are you doing a wee? Are you doing a poo?" Teach them through encouragement to tell you when they are emptying their bladders or moving their bowels.

Nappy time is ideal for these discussions. "You've done a poo. Soon you will go to the toilet to wee and poo like a big boy/girl." Talk about it weeks or months before putting them on the toilet.

• Read stories and watch children's programs or DVD's about toilet training (such as Elmo's Potty Time)


• Let them watch adults or older siblings when they go to the toilet and see that it is a natural and regular occurrence.


• Let the flush the toilet


• buy a special seat and foot stool for the toilet and sink so they feel safe and are able to easily wash their hands afterwards.

Around the the age of two your child should be well prepared and able to sit on the toilet at every nappy change. At first it's usually quite easy as they enjoy the thrill of being a big boy or girl. After the excitement wears off it can be hard to encourage them to sit.

Praise them for sitting on the toilet, regardless of their success. Give them a clap, a cheer a high five, stamp or sticker everytime they sit on the toilet, no matter how briefly. Then put them back in a nappy (reuse the same nappy if dry), then follow the toileting routine of using a small amount of paper, flushing the toilet and washing hands.

Praise them in front of others about how grown up they are for sitting on the toilet. They love that! Our son loved to show visitors how he could sit on the toilet all by himself.

To encourage success while they're on the toilet, they'll need to spend some time there at first. It's a good idea to keep a little basket of books in the bathroom so you can sit and read to them while they're sitting there. That first wee in the toilet is a big deal to parent and child!

Put them on the toilet at normal "go" times, such as after waking up, after meals, before a bath and before bed.

After sufficient preparation (weeks or months depending on the child), they will start to show signs of toilet readiness. Tugging at nappies, sometimes with words, stamping of feet etc. Now is the time for training pants.

To begin with take them to the toilet every hour. Don't give them the option by asking them, just tell them, "It's toilet time," and take them by the hand. Sooner or later most two year olds begin to object when they realise they have to stop playing for a little while to go to the toilet. At this time, don't let them leave the toilet until they've sat down and "performed". They know what to do by now. Encourage them by saying things like "As soon as you've weed we can go and draw, play with your favourite toy etc."

Be positive and praise small successes. Accidents happen. Don't scold them. Talk to them and say "Whoops, you peed on the floor. We pee in the toilet don't we? Next time we'll make it to the toilet." You can also encourage them to tell you when they need to go. After accidents complete the usual toilet routine - sit on the toilet, paper, flush and wash hands. If they don't go through the routine they'll soon see the advantages of peeing in their pants.

Once your child is in pants during the day, don't go back to nappies except for sleep periods. It is too confusing to children to work out when they're in a nappy and when they're in pants. After an accident, it's back into pants. Sorry!

Of course there are times when pants aren't convenient. Huggies "pull ups" are great for going out when toilet training. Don't use them like a nappy. But they offer peace of mind in case children don't make it to the toilet in time.

To limit accidents while out:

• take your child to the toilet before every outing


• take your child to the toilet between shops


• take a potty with you in the car for emergencies


• take spare clothes with you.

The hourly routine must still be maintained while you're out.

Most children will wet the bed at night long after they're dry during the day. Keep them in nappies at night and take them to the toilet as soon as they wake up.

Consistency between home and day care or other carers is very important. Remember to be positive and delight in your child's every success. Best of luck and I hope this guide will help you through this sometimes challenging process!

"I GOT IT!!" - World Wide Potty Training Movement - (DAY 1)

As children approach 2 years of age, parents frequently start thinking about toilet training. When will they "GET" this? Depending on whom you ask, the "right" age may range from as young as 6 months to 3 years. While age can be used as a determining factor, there are several others to address. The most important factors are not necessarily age, but rather physiologic, physical and psychological readiness. Before a child can be "toilet trained", she or he must have attained a certain amount of physiologically readiness, namely "bladder readiness". In infancy, babies frequently are unable to hold large amounts of urine in their bladder and void small amounts. As a child grows older, her bladder becomes more mature, and is able over time to hold larger amounts of urine between voids. This comes hand in hand then with the additional ability to be able to increase the interval between voids. When you notice that your child is dry at longer intervals (ie dry after a nap or for at least 2 hours) and is voiding large amounts at a time, then that is a sign that your child may be physiologically ready for toilet training. Another component, which overlaps with psychological readiness, is the ability of your child to recognize that she is voiding (ie if your child does not recognize when she is voiding, toilet training is virtually impossible). Some children start showing some signs of "bladder readiness" around 2 years of age. Most will attain it by three years of age. Another ...

"Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of".

We know it and love it, the classic children's nursery rhyme that was written in the early 1800s and is attributed to an English poet by the name of Robert Southey. And yes, little girls are made of sugar and spice, and should have clothes that reflect this accordingly, that is to say, the baby clothes stores where you shop for your little girl should carry unique, cute and sassy items that are fit for your little princess.

But, you may be wondering, if you go to a traditional store then you run the risk of becoming a carbon copy of your neighbor's little girl, or the little girl at pre-school who always wants to sit with your angel at lunch time.

Never fear, your little darling doesn't have to become the identical clothes twin of every little girl out there if you do your shopping at online baby clothes stores. In today's age of the Internet, the possibilities are endless as far as shopping is concerned.

You can find niche market online boutiques that design and sell handmade one of a kind articles of clothing; these clothes are typically designed with fabrics that have a tendency to shift in color patterns as the lines progress thus ensuring no two articles of clothing are ever identical.

You can also find unique clothing at online baby clothes stores specifically tailored for such and that will, not only provide you with cute and endearing articles of clothing, but will also be versatile and well made, too.

It is important to have versatility in clothing, especially clothing for infants and children because you never know what they are going to get into next; having, say a cute reversible outfit, will be quite the time saver if your little angel just happens to spill something on one side.

Merely flip the dress -- or shirt or pants -- inside out and voila, instant clean clothes that are unique and still full of that sauciness we love and adore in little girls. Just keep in mind when you are browsing any number of the thousands of online shops that cater to little girls, that you want your little girl to be her own person, and giving her unique articles of clothing can help ensure you may never find her dressed like anyone else ever again.

Hi, I'm Anne Softling and I wrote this article. I hope you now have a better understanding of Baby Clothes Stores and how they can help you be a great parent. It is my goal to provide quality information for all Mommies and Daddies today.
