Celebrity-Mad Moms Shell Out for Designer Baby Duds

Posted May 10, 08 1:24 PM CDT in Gossip Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Sales of designer baby clothes are booming as parents keep a close eye on what the offspring of the famous are wearing, the Wall Street Journal reports. Stores are getting cleaned out of outfits after pics appear of a celebrity tot like Suri Cruise wearing them.

The trend looks set to carry on as birth rates soar, but not every parent is keen on keeping up with the Jolie-Pitts. "I don't even spend that much on my own clothes," said one mom who's putting extra cash in a college fund rather than shelling out for $50 baby T-shirts.
