This is a bit of a random post but does anybody buy their baby clothes on shein? I have clothes from there myself so not against wearing stuff from there but the study it showed about their clothes containing led really put me off buying baby clothes from there. I'm having a baby boy in Feb and struggling to find many clothes I like for him as the girls section is always way bigger and I've seen shein have some really lovely baby stuff so I'm tempted to buy some. I was just interested to see other people's views on this because I'm probs just being dramatic š

Ive gotten some i washed it idk if it makes a difference i also wear clothes from there i dont have anh issues lol

I love shein. Have you got a best and less near by you.

no we don't have one of those x

tbh I think I'm probably just being dramatic like I said because I have loads from there myself tooš¤£

I got lots of stuff from there they had such more choices for outfits they came n seen fine Iāll be washing everything before he comes anyway x

I've been gifted a lot from shein and found the sizes are MASSIVE (granted my guy is a wee dude, but when he was chunky when he was younger I found then massive still) so just be mindful of that.
He has some super cute sets from it though! And they wash pretty well without shrinking etc

Iāve never bought from shein for baby stuff. But matalan have some cute stuff in atm, so does M&S and Asda is always quite good for boy stuff! I think Tesco is supposed to be quite good but our clothing section is rubbish as itās only a small store so not 100% on that (incase you donāt want to get from shein). Next usually do some nice stuff too. Itās just a bit pricier than getting online. Iām not sure about primark but I can imagine theyāll have tons of stuff you donāt want which is annoying as itās so cheap!
If it makes it any easier, I got outfits for when my girl was born and it wasnāt until she moved into 3-6 clothing that I started dressing her in something other than sleepsuits really. So you could maybe just get a couple outfits and then when summer comes round then put baby in all the cute clothes

Iāve bought so much stuff from shein, I just make sure itās washed before hand.
Someone else said above they find the sizes massive, however I havenāt found that the case, in fact Iāve had some run smaller.

No, I have avoided it for that exact reason that their clothes have been found to contain high levels of led and itās not worth the risk.
I have a son and there are plenty of lovely baby boys clothes out there. Though I do get what you mean about the baby girls sections being bigger.
Matalan, George at Asda, F&F at Tesco and Tu at Sainsburys usually do nice boys stuff and Asda George usually have good sales.
I have also bought off Vinted a few times. I wasnāt sure when I first ordered but was pleasantly surprised as I managed to get him some gorgeous Next dungarees for Ā£4 and theyād only been worn a few times. Iām always looking for deals on there now. As babies grow out of clothes so quickly you usually find a lot of the baby stuff on Vinted has only been worn a couple of times.

Iām a next snob. But I absolutely love Vinted!

Hey Iāve found quite a few stuff from tk maxx too! Just when youāre out grocery shopping could just have a look in the clothes aisles in supermarkets too xx

I think the problem with lead and DEHP/ phthalate exposure is that it can have very serious health implications on babies and young children especially. It doesnāt mean that youād notice any immediate reactions - it can cause symptomatic health issues years later.

I'd never buy from them, it's a horrid company not paying staff properly or ensuring their products are safe.
Use Vinted and get something better quality secondhand.
You can search for exactly what you want and babies grow so quick all the stuff I've bought has been great condition.
I've used it to buy cute outfits my boy had from Tesco in the next size when he grew out of them, as I loved them so much

I have a degree in textiles and I would AVOID! Shein and Temu donāt have the same safety standards as retailers in the EU. Donāt want to worry anyone but if youāve ever hand washed items, you will see dye continues to leach out even after 1 wash, would not risk it with delicate baby skin.

I wouldnāt risk it for my little one, & sheās two now! We like H&M, primark do some lovely bits, supermarkets - F&F is just šš½, & next/M&S here & there x

Yes

:( Iām reading the comments and Iām sad because shein is so affordable lol I could get a million things

Yee, I get all sorted from there for me and my child.

I ordered some baby things from there.. they are all fine but make sure you turn them inside out and wash first as one of the outfits I ordered had dead flies (a kind Iāve never seen before) stuck to the inside of the material.

Hi Tyler, Iām wondering about that too š . I found many things that I like. I will probably buy but wash properly before to use š

get them, tbh you could order from a small boutique and not know where they get their stock from. There is pros and cons to everything. Just order and wash before wear š

I buy on Temu and Filter them down to Material = Cotton ;) so far have had good quality items for my 20 month old xx

dead flies š©š«£

What other places are affordable? I have no idea where to buy everything is so expensive

Ordered lots of things from shein for my toddler and no problems

dead flies?! Omggg
