We aren't doing a full outfit. I'm starting to feel like a bad mommy. All of you girls have such cute outfits picked out. We are just doing a cute newborn or 0-6 sleeper. We aren't having family over so I think it's just a little silly get get him all dressed up with no place to go.
Re: Does anyone else just have a sleeper for baby's coming home outfit?
that is all we did for DS and all we'll do for the twins. Even if we had people over- the chances of a fancy outfit getting puked on or pooped on that first day is pretty good- so to spend $$$ on something they will wear for 5 minutes is silly to me.
as long as baby is warm enough and comfy- that is what matters. You have PLENTY of time to dress him/her up and take tons of photos.
I also am not doing a special outfit for coming home. There won't be anyone there at our house but me and DH and when I get home I don't think I'm gonna wanna change her outfit again.

DS just wore one of his sleepers home.
Yep!
Mine comes with a matching hat with little ears on it. Does that count to make it extra special?
I think it's perfect. Ours is a little Pooh sleeper with matching hat with ears.
My 8-9 pound baby (per the doctor) came out 6 lbs 1 oz...she almost came home naked! I think she wore the hospital onsie home with some pants that were way too big so we could strap her into her car seat.
Really the "coming home" outfit is to please the parents, the baby doesn't care, so don't feel bad :-)
Oh and the baby is all curled up still so you can't really see what they are wearing. FWIW, the hospital hat is the ONLY hat I have that fits her, so she is still wearing that. not cute, but functional!
Mine is a one piece outfit from Gap. Its cute but pretty plain and simple.
Just a onesie and pants.
No one but us will care what he wears. ?

I could not give a rat's a$$ about a coming home outfit. The kid is going to spit up on it anyway, and no one is going to see it.
I'm going to put something very simple on him and roll with that.
