PAWLING/print studios, a break from the usual
Had enough of the usual baby motifs, but still want to outfit baby in something ridiculously cute? No problem. Get an alpaca onesie. Or a tapir. Or an anteater. Heck, for a mere $25 bucks, you can get all three! Conceived by PAWLING/print studios, each of these cuties is as original (and as adorable) as baby himself.

Maluhia on Etsy
This style of wrap-around dress isn't exactly anything new - I've seen a lot of sellers on Etsy and elsewhere offering them. The choice of fabric is what makes them special, and Maluhia's choices are amazing, in my opinion.

It's not all smiling faces with Little Odd Forest
Kids' TV presenters, stuffed animals, characters in picture books... they all have one thing in common: they tend to be grinning from ear to ear. It must sometimes seem to pre-schoolers that the world is populated by smiley happy people (until they see Mummy before her first cup of coffee each day, ha).
So it's nice to see someone bucking the trend a little. There's still something cute about these sulky-faced monster bootees and bibs, even if they don't conform to the norm. Because, hey, it's ok to be sad sometimes. Especially before the coffee has percolated.
From Little Odd Forest.

Boob design - designed for boobs
Breastfeeding clothes are all very well, but many of the designs can be... well, a bit naff, when it comes down to it. At best they tend to be plain and functional.
Thank goodness, then, for Boob, so long, that is, as you don't mind shouting out that word when someone asks you where you got your stunning bright yellow nursing hoodie from... or indeed your breastfeeding maxidress. Who knew such a thing even existed?

Sophie4Sophie pants: factoring in the growth spurt
Babies come in all shapes and sizes, and growth spurts come when you're least expecting them (but usually five minutes after you've bought a wardrobe of expensive baby clothes). With this in mind, the small Brighton (UK) company Sophie4Sophie invented The Pants.
In a world where the average baby clothes fit for 12 weeks, no matter how costly they were, The Pants last an incredible 12 months. And a good thing too, since you'll still love them for at least a year after purchase. The legs roll up and the waistband rolls down, and that adorable cut-out heart expands to embrace any size of healthy baby bottom.
These are custom-made in the fabrics of your choice, meaning you can choose any colour for that kissable heart - and where better place is there to kiss a baby?

Bonjour monsieur t-shirt
With an air of Miroslav Sasek about it, this MarMar Copenhagen t-shirt's motif is delightfully random. And, unusually for the image tees, it's a smidge more boy than girl. Snap it up at Nordic Kids, or find more outlets on MarMar's stockists page (all European, though).

Cazhoffy baby shoes
Etsy seller Cazhoffy has the most exquisite taste in fabric: I'd happily buy any one of her pairs of soft little baby shoes. She also makes changing mats to match, and if, like me, you're beyond the stage of bootees and nappies, you'll be delighted to know that she even makes women's slippers.

Tweety shoes
What with Twitter being such a big deal these days, of course, birds are the theme du jour - just remember that Babygadget was rhapsodising about all things avian long before all those Etsy sellers jumped on the bandwagon with birdy motifs stitched to anything that stays still long enough.
Available at Amazon.
Anyway, if you're an avid tweeter yourself, you might like the idea of advertising your propensity on your kid's shoes. And if you're not, you might just like these darling Livie and Luca shoes for themselves: the fact that they're Fairtrade doesn't hurt, either.

Chinny Chin Chin kids' clothes
Some people put me to shame. I mean, I regularly use the fact that I have a full-time job and a kid as an excuse not to do the dishes, let alone as a reason why I haven't set up a spectacularly desirable line of kids' clothing.
But Esther Croak of Fort Collins, Colorado, is a full-time teacher, has three (adorable) kids, and somehow finds the time to put together a clothing line that is not merely adequate but quite honestly quite unlike anything else that's out there.
I'm not sure what her secret is - whether it's the vintage repurposed fabrics or the verging-on-adult clothing shapes, or some combination of the two. Croak professes to adore her job, but I fear that if she carries on designing clothes to this standard, she may just have to leave it to meet the demand.
See the full range on Etsy, and read the accompanying blog here.

Graphic kitty tee
Glug Collection focus mainly on t-shirts, with graphic designs on them, for kids. For my young cat lover, I'd favour the Kitty tee: simple shape, sophisticated colours.
It's available from Lula Sapphire in the UK. See the Glug website for a full list of global stockists.
