Well, things get from bad to worse. This time with clothes from Boots the Chemist.
I just tried to put a new baby in a baby-grow with the lovely Velcro as fasteners instead of poppers.
A nightmare!!
Such poor quality Velcro and all the fastenings were so badly placed that they opened all the time.
Sharp edges to each square of Velcro and, only one leg that opened!
How do these designers think they can get away with knowing absolutely zero about babies.
Boycott Boots Chemist is the only answer.
Boots has really gone down hill recently, in my opinion.

MADDENING TAGS
If you are looking at this, then you obviously have an interest in babies/children.
After shopping for clothes and toys, I am always amazed to see the amount of unnecessary plastic ties that are gunned through items to keep them together or to secure tags.
It's almost like a competition to see who can use the most.
Please, let's bring back common sense ... please!

VELCRO AND WASHING
Oh the joy of doing the baby's washing and upon opening the machine door at the end, are confronted with lots of fuzzy clothes before your eyes!
And the reason for this fuzziness?
It’s good old Velcro. Especially on bibs.
So useful, and a complete menace.
However you try to fasten the bib or other Velcro fixed item [before going into the machine], it finds the way to open up and make havoc with all the other clothes in the drum.
I have to say, that there is a fastening similar to Velcro and does not do the same damage, as is better on other garments: however, it has a short life expectancy.
Bring back poppers and ties, I say.

LABELS ON CLOTHING
Well I'm back, after looking after the dearest little girl [now nearly 5 weeks old]and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with her and her charming parents and was very sad to leave them.
But back to the business of being today, a Grumpy Old Woman!....
Grr.. Baby clothes drive me made!
I have just been sorting through a newborn’s baby clothes and the amount of labels at the back of the neck is not only unreal, but unkind.
There are a plethora of them and in copious supply.
Not only that, they are hard and have sharp edges that would scratch my old neck, let alone the delicate skin of a baby.
Who are these people that do this?
Have they any idea of what they are doing and the target market they are catering for?
Or are they just going through the motions of selling to the masses?
Probably, the later.
I could understand if it was obligatory, but ... it can't be.
Otherwise, the better manufacturers would do it as well.
Good retailers are thoughtful, use softer labels and place them elsewhere on the garment.
Funnily, some of the most famous, trendy and expensive brands are the most guilty.
Which means only one thing. Good retailers care about their product:
The others don't care a jot.

BABY CLOTHES
With wedding coming up this weekend, I went with my daughter to buy clothes for my grandson to wear. There's lots of lovely outfits and we found a good one in M&S.
Thank goodness we weren't buying for a younger child, as I get so fed up with the smarter baby clothes having buttons or poppers down the back.
Do baby clothes designers not understand that looks are not everything and the baby needs to be comfortable and not have something irritating them.
Plus, one needs to be able to change a nappy easily?
Then another thing. Why are the legs and arms so long and the feet too short?
Clearly, a lot of baby clothes designers have never had to look after a baby!
