My little baby is just 5 months old and needs to wear clothes for babies 12-24 months!!!!!!! Since he have a bunch of clothes for 6 months babies I don't feel able to spend a lot of money in new clothes. I don't understand how a simple outfit for him can be $10-15... I will need at least 5 of that because she is drooling a lot and I need to change his clothes several times during the day. Do you know some place that I can find cool, cheap and good quality clothes for babies?
Thanks!

I agree with the person about the bibs. You'll save enough from not doing 5 loads of laundry a day to buy an outfit! Get a bunch of bibs....the terry cloth kind absorb more than the stretchy cotton ones!
My 8 month old daughter is in 18-24 month clothes so I know how you feel about her growing so fast but it should start to slow down. Try consignment stores....I have gotten outfits with tags still on them for $3 that were cute. Also look out for sales or specials at stores. Gymboree has "Gymbucks"....spend a certain amount during the promotion and (if you spend $50+ you get $25 in gymbucks) a few weeks later you can use them towards a purchase! Old Navy and Target both have cute clothes. I like Gymboree, The Childrens Place, and Target the best because they have onesies up to size 5T in the store. (Old Navy doesnt really have too many onesies.) Both Gymboree and Childrens Place usually have lines that you can mix and match pieces to really maximize a wardrobe.
My sister bought my daughter a REALLY cute black bubble skirt and matching leggings at WALMART of all places!
Right now the early spring lines should be going on sale and its stuff they can wear all summer so buy it while its on sale!
To make some money for your clothes budget maybe you can sell some stuff on Ebay or put it in a consignment shop.
I know in my area we have a "Kindermarket" where parents get a booth and it is basically a huge baby/kid sale of clothes, strollers, furniture, etc. See if theres something like that in your area.
Remember...keep your eyes open! If you see something cute on another baby ask where they got it!
Good Luck!

Only shop at the sale racks (that's what I do!)
Target normally has a great sale rack...I stock up on stuff...I get handfuls of really cute onesies for like $2.50 each! Normally the best sales are when the new styles are coming in and the old styles go on sale...
Otherwise check out the Salvation army...I have seen brand new baby clothes (with the tags still on!)) for a couple dollars (at most)
Good luck
Also, the drooling problem...my nephew was the WORST drooler ever...he literally wore a bib every single day for a couple months...kept his shirt dry. Try that so you're not constantly changing your baby.

Craigslist or yard sales. Also, use bibs. Babies can get away with sweat pants and a onsie for just about anything and that should cost $15 per outfit. Maybe just a couple of nice things for going out could get you by.

You could use bibs for the drooling thing. Try consignment shops, you could even give them your babies clothes he outgrew to offset the cost. or yard sales, maybe newspaper articles that have ads where people sale used clothes. I always buy a season ahead when they are on clearance

Resale shops and Yard sales! After you visit them a few times it gets to be an addiction LOL.
Seriously.. you can find clothing that is almost new at a fraction of the price and it is a great feeling knowing your saving a ton of money.

My daughter drools, it dries, I don't change her clothes severeal times a day, I put on bibs. Try a second hand store, they have nice clothes

e-bay. Loads of really fantastic clothes packages on there-many unused clothes in branded and un-branded names going for a ridiculous price daily.

Check your local consignment shops...you may be able to make some $$ if you sell them the clothes your chlid has out grown.

Try Children's Place, they are good quality and wont break the bank. Also, Old navy is good.
