A sustainable start for baby with used baby clothes
In the first months babies change size quickly. Used baby clothes are an obvious place to start if you want to think about both your budget and the environment.

Baby clothes are worn briefly
Many items in the smallest sizes are worn for only a short time and are often in good condition when sold on. That makes them well suited to being used again.
Buy what you need
Make a short list of what you actually need instead of buying a whole wardrobe in advance. That way you avoid clothes that are never worn.
Pass it on again
As your baby grows, the clothes can be sold or passed on again. The same item can then be used by several families.
Your practical checklist

These are practical suggestions. Always follow the garment's care label and the manufacturer's instructions. For donations and textile waste, check the recipient's current guidance and your local collection rules.
