Available in sizes 3 months and 6 months, this Babygro sells for $64 GBP (approx $102 USD) at MadisonBrowne.com.

I love the idea of cashmere for my kids, although I’m afraid I’m not brave enough to purchase it, especially since on one notable occasion a sweater of my own was decimated in record time by two chocolate-covered hands. So, when I see cute sweaters like this Lucky Jade Trees Cotton Cashmere Hoodie Sweater, I have to wonder a bit about what children actually wear them. I love the tree print. It is sweet and earthy, and I’m sure it is as comfy as can be.  Although machine washable, I just can’t imagine keeping this clean. If you have cleaner kids than I, or simply more talent/patience with laundry, you can purchase one on sale for $60 (down from $84) at designpublic.com. It is available in sizes from 3-6 months up to 4T. I think it would be suitable for either a boy or a girl. I just wouldn’t give it as a gift as, beautiful though it is, it might become a stress to the parent who has to maintain it.

One of my favorite products for my younger daughter was a gorgeous cable knit bunting from Ralph Lauren.  Ours is very similar to this one, although we didn’t opt for the added luxury of cashmere.  The great thing about a bunting is that it is cozy and snug in cool weather.  The downsides are that they cannot be used in a car seat or most strollers/baby carriers.  I enjoyed using our with either the bassinet attachment for our stroller or a sling.

The Ralph Lauren Cashmere Cable Bunting is absolutely top of the line.  Made from fine cashmere, it is as soft as it is adorable.  The look is simple and classic, but your baby will be absolutely pampered.  The hood adds and extra layer of comfort and warmth for little heads.  The bunting is available in blue, pink, or cream.  You can purchase one on sale for $187.50 at RalphLauren.com.

These baby blankets from Amber Hagen take luxury to a whole new level. They are made out of 2 ply cashmere for absolute softness. I’ve noticed that many of the cashmere blankets on the market are rather dull. They rely on cashmere as their selling point. Amber Hagen’s blankets are as trendy and cheerful as they are soft. A number of different designs are available, ranging from sweet (hearts, dragonflies), to downright edgy (motorcycles, winged hearts). It looks like many of these designs sell out, so if one catches your eye, you should snap it up when you have the chance. Matching baby sweaters and hoodies are also available.
