It's to get stuff. For the baby.
Some people don't have a lot of money to spend on crap that will only be used for a year, anyway.
My first kid, I got a lot of clothes- more than he could ever wear- from my in-laws, who are fools for babies.
The first thing I did was, I threw them all in the washing machine and dumped in a bottle of black RIT dye. Dyed em all black. Black onesies, black footie sleepers, black overalls and turtlenecks and drawstring nighties (I always loved those drawstring nighties; they make kids look like beanbags, like Sweetpea from Popeye).
I didn't get as much stuff for my second kid; he wore hand-me-downs, by then faded to a sort of mottled charcoal gray.
Tried to get little Doc Martens for them as well, but the local Doc retailer (there was only really one place to get them back then; a shop called Atomic City) told me that he could only order baby Docs in batches of twelve (that's twelve
pairs) and I'd have to purchase them all or else he wouldn't order them. I tried in vain to convince others to go in with me on this, as it was way beyond my means at the time, but nobody else was much interested.
So my kids didn't really wear shoes. Babies don't need shoes, anyway. I like how their feet are- oblong and squishy, like little nerf footballs.
