It generally is the case that parents actually have to buy precious few of the clothes needed for their newborn offspring, as doting family and friends will be only too eager to donate gifts. The problem is usually when the child has grown out of the initial stage and becomes an accepted part of the family. At this point three things happen. The baby grows at a rate of knots which seems impossible to keep up with in clothing sizes, family and friends lose the need to donate clothing every time they see you, and the realisation dawns that you no longer have any spare disposable income.
