BABY CLOTHES

Baby Clothes - What exactly is a Layette ? Where does the word ' layette ' originate ?
One of the first thoughts that come to mind regarding baby checklists is the baby layette checklist. Many people think that a layette relates just to the baby's clothes. The meaning of a layette encompasses a complete outfit of clothing and equipment for a newborn infant. The word layette comes from the French word layette, a diminutive of laye box, from Middle Dutch ' lade ' which is akin to the Old English or Old High German word ' hladan ' meaning to load.
