Real Mums, Real Reviews: 14 Things Our Community Said About Knitted Baby Clothes

We have 914 reviews and counting. Here's what real mums (and grandmas, and aunties, and friends-of-the-family) actually said — edited only for length.

We don't write our own marketing copy very often. Mostly because our customers do it better than we do. Here's a roundup of the things our community keeps telling us — the things that surprised them, the things that made them cry a little bit (several people mentioned crying), and the things they wish they'd known before they ordered.

On the quality

"So much softer than I expected. I have very sensitive skin myself and I kept testing it against my arm before I wrapped it." — Jess, Melbourne

"I bought the sweater for my niece and I genuinely considered keeping it for myself. It's that nice." — Sarah, Brisbane

"Washed it five times and the name is still perfect. Was not expecting that." — Emma, Sydney

On the personalisation

This is what people mention the most. Not just that the name is there, but how it feels to see it for the first time.

"I cried when I opened it. My mum cried. We both agreed it was the most beautiful thing we'd ever seen for a baby." — Priya, Perth

"Ordered this for my best friend's baby shower. She said it was the gift she'll keep forever. I've now ordered four more for other friends." — Kate, Adelaide

On gifting

"I'm the person in my friend group who gives the good gifts now. All I did was find KnittyBaby." — Lauren, Darwin

"Gave this as a baby shower gift. The mum texted me three photos before she'd even left the party." — Michelle, Gold Coast

What the community wishes they'd known earlier

We asked our regulars what advice they'd give to someone ordering for the first time. Here's what came back:

1.    Order a size up. Babies grow incredibly fast and a 00 fits longer than a 000.

2.    Don't second-guess the name spelling. Just order it.

3.    The oatmeal colour goes with everything.

4.    Order earlier than you think you need to. Not because they're slow (they're not), but because you'll want it to arrive with time to wrap it properly.

5.    Buy one for yourself too, not just as a gift. You deserve a nice thing.

914 reviews. We read every single one. Thank you for trusting us with the babies you love. — Alice & Nora
