Here are some types of baby clothes names and images.

Bodysuit

The bodysuit is worn under other clothes or on its own if the weather is hot.

Bodysuits are also known as baby Onesies.

Most of them have an enveloped-style neck and come in different sizes and solid or mixed prints.

The envelope-style neck stretches well such that you can easily pull it over the baby’s head or pull it straight down to avoid going over the delicate head.

They come in different styles such as

Long-sleeved
short sleeved
Sleeveless
Kimono

The kimono is also known as side snaps. They have side snaps or ties that help reduce contact with the baby’s umbilical cord stump. Also, you don’t have to pull over your newborn’s face. The kimono is available in long and short-sleeved.
