When to buy spring clothing for baby

So the frum stores are beginning to put out their spring/summer lines LOL

This is my first year with my baby wearing actual clothes (not stretchies)

Am I right that she doesn't actually need spring clothes on Pesach?

I don't need to rush to get stuff because I don't need matching (only one kid) I also have a limited clothes budget.

When will the clothes go on sale? I'm assuming after Pesach and I can buy then?

Do you have clothes that are thin enough cotton? Then you’re fine. Pesach is in April so it may be too hot for bulky sweaters and thick knits.
Also babies this age grow fast so she might need new ones anyway by then.

Yeah I have some thinner knit sets... Thanks!

I'm rolling at all of the teeny rompers and sets I'm seeing... I assume it has to be actual summer weather to wear those but somehow it's on sale now

People like taking care of the shopping early… I know I do.

Yes. They put out the rompers the same time as the other spring clothing. People are quicker to buy now if they want to match with siblings.
Clothing usually starts going on sale around shavuos time.
I can't think about clothing shopping now, especially my teen.

Makes sense things get busy!

I'm definitely eyeing cute things and if I could afford full price for everything I would totally buy soon

Many people head to warmer climates for Pesach. In Orlando, babies can use rompers in April.

So for a baby usually u don’t need fulll summer till June. But also you have time to shop in the non Jewish stores where you can find stuff for $8 a romper no need to go crazy now. Pesach in NY is always cold my kids don’t need any summer.

I don’t buy these in general as I find them impractical. Risking sunburn outside and freezing with A/C inside.
People are also going on midwinter break now to warm places.
