Also removable crotch snaps or button down fronts allow for more comfort and ease in changing diapers and for the occasions that the baby boy requires a complete new outfit. Baby boy clothing, specifically sleepwear in flame retardant materials are also functional choices in baby clothes. Sleepwear made from flame retardant material gives the parent and caregiver a measure of safety for their baby. An important point in choosing sleepwear is to be sure that it is weather appropriate and that the baby boy fits the sleepwear comfortably so as he may have a peaceful nights sleep.
