With 27 outlets in Paris alone, you'll have a difficult time not stumbling into a DPAM shop. DPAM focuses on fun and fashionable children's clothing at a reasonable price. We love the baby pajamas that button up the back for around 15e (about half of Petit Bateau prices) more

Petit Bateau is CHEAP in France. The little T-shirts that cost so much here are about $10 each. The PJs are still expensive (about $25), but we love them (they open in the back which makes them easy to put on & easy to check and change the diaper). Note that Petit Bateau runs small and buy a size (or two) bigger than you would usually. more

If you're pregnant, we highly recommend a stop into Veronique Delachaux, where they have some of the most fashionable maternity clothing we've seen. Prices are not cheap, but fashionable maternity clothing is so expensive in the US that the prices won't seem out of line more
