What You Need, What You Don’t + What No One Tells You Until Your Baby’s Wearing It
Most of us don’t think much about baby clothes—until we’re drowning in laundry, wrestling with zippers, or realizing our kid’s been chewing on a polyester sleeve all morning.
As a new mom, Roxanne Alford quickly realized that baby gear (and registries) often come with a lot of pressure—and a lot of stuff we don’t actually need. In this practical, eye-opening session, she’ll walk us through the materials that matter, how to build a wardrobe that lasts through growth spurts and hand-me-downs, and what she wishes someone had told her before she filled out her first registry.
We’ll also talk about secondhand shopping, shopping with intention, and how your baby’s clothing can actually support their health, your sanity, and the planet.
Whether you’re pregnant, parenting your second, or just looking to make more thoughtful choices, this one’s for you.
About Roxanne
Roxanne Alford is the founder of Short Stuff, an educational baby clothing brand designed with durability, inclusivity, and real-life function in mind. Inspired by her own experience as a first-time mom and her childhood in a big, hand-me-down-loving family, she created Short Stuff to bring quality, comfort, and sustainability to babywear.
Her collections are made with snuggle-soft bamboo fabrics, educational themes, and built-in features that actually make parents’ lives easier. Every piece is designed to last through multiple children—and to help families make meaningful, less wasteful choices from the very beginning.
