For mums with boys - clothes?
Just a quick question, what do you dress your little lads in, and where do you buy it from?
Barney is growing out of his 3-6 month stuff and I need to buy new clothes, been shopping this morning and I'm struggling to find anything nice! All anyone seems to have for little boys is jeans, which I don't mind, but I don't ONLY want jeans. I've seen a couple of nice sets but as Barney pukes for Britain I really need seperate trousers so I can buy 3 t-shirts to go with each pair just to make things even more hard I really need lined trousers as he has a bit of excma on the ack of his knees and scratchy fabrics make it worse. HELP

Hugo has the same thing as Barney - a bit of dry skin patches on skin around knees, so I prefer the lined trousers as well. Also Magic cream is magic :P
The shops I go to might be a bit more expensive, but they re really good quality and tend to be less boring! :P

Most clothes are from pumpkin patch and h&m, but I have to say though, quite a few stuff I get from Sweden, which is DAMN nice! Very original, NOT blue! lol
Matthew is older (20m) but we get lots of our stuff from Tesco or Sainsburys. It's cheaper but most of it seems to wear well. They tend to be quite big tho so it may be best to hold the clothes up to your LO or tack something he wears now for a size guide. HTH

Oh and also mckays have some nice ones too.
Lots of choice for colour of t-shirts. about ??2 each...soo not expensive. Have brought some recently for my lo.

I do get quite a few bits from mother care & M&S cause they are local, tesco's do a few bits sometimes in nicer mixes of colours, I like Dunnes stores.. but not sure if there is any over here? been sent quite a few bits from family in ireland from Dunnes. Gap do nice bits, & next, I quite like H&M as well, I have got quite a lot of stuff of www.nappyhead.com & been given bits from cyber dog.. some hand me downs & some ebay stuff! boys clothes are so boring tho *yawn!* There is a whole space in the market there for intresting, stylish afordable clothing there.. not sure why noone hasn't snapped it up yet lol!
Bedhead.. your good with a needle and thread aren't you?.. ... just a thought!
haha can I have a share for the idea tho? lol x

Have you tried browsing on ebay? I get a lot of stuff for my boys from there, as you can grab some great bargains...often new with tags. I also like Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys for everyday stuff. Mamas & Papas have some gorgeous stuff for babies...but very pricey.
I always think there's a lot less choice for little boys....someone should open a boys only store!!!

I used to get nicer stuff for special visits etc but most days he was in stuff from these places. I never felt bad if I had to throw something out cause they were so cheap.

Lo is 5 and a half weeks and round the house he wears sleep suits from Asda and Next-looove Next stuff. Asda stuff lasts, washs really well and is such good value. I also like trackie bottoms from Mothercare, wash well and seem comfy.
Special stuff from M&S and G and G got him some lovely T-shirts and trousers from John Lewis-bit pricey but think they'll last. They bought him a cute little green duffle coat too and its all furry on the inside it's gonna be so warm!
Happy shopping-oh nearly forgot Boots are good too-nice T-shirts. Not sre if they're made by Adams?? x
