Fabric: You want something lightweight and breathable in the summer and warm enough in the winter. You could opt for 100% cotton for the best shirts. They are more absorbent soft and breathable than other fabrics.

Shape: From a round neck V-neck crew cut or button-up shirt the shape will depend on your preference and the baby's size.
