"Welcome to Expert Village. I'm Gretchen Soares and today we're going to do How to Shop for a Baby Shower Gift. A great gift, if you want to go with the shoes but feel like a single pair of shoes is just a little too small for a gift, would be to combine it with some sleepers. This store has some great sets where they have matching shoes and sleepers together in different sizes. So the sleeper is just a simple, cotton knit sleeper and it has the little decals on it that match the shoes. Very cute and a little bigger gift. Price point on something like this is going to be closer to forty dollars. And you can get them in all different styles yet again. These are usually sized by an infant sizing chart, which is zero to three months, three to six, six to twelve, and twelve to eighteen. Again, a good choice is going to be to get something in the six-month or higher range, because people are just going to get so many zero month clothing, and they're so fast out of them. A lot of children just go through those in a couple weeks. So it's great to start at least six months. This is a six-month set. This little doggy set is actually a twelve-month size, which is a great choice. Because although the tag says twelve months, it doesn't necessarily mean the child is going to be twelve months old when they wear it. Mostly, a child about nine months is going to be in a twelve-month size - a normal child these days. They just aren't quite right on the sizing."
