Quantities

Hi all,

This week the hand-me-downs have started rolling in! I am SO grateful, but starting to feel a bit overwhelmed as I find places to put all of it!

Realistically, how many of these things do we "need"?

- Newborn onesies and pajamas
- Newborn socks
- 3-6 month outfits
- Bibs

Thanks!

Good question! I'm also hoping to get some insight on this!

(Also don't forget that there's size 0-3 too...)

Newborn specific stuff:

Depending on brand, DD never even fit into some of it and she wasn't huge by any means (7Ibs, 6oz).  Some newborn stuff fit her for maybe a month at the most.

- Newborn onesies and pajamas - DD lived in these the first few weeks.  I'd say 2-3 per day, so having a rotation of 10-15 total is probably good.
- Newborn socks - DD didn't wear these much since she was born in the middle of summer and it was either hot, or she was wearing a footed sleeper.  But since these babies will be born in winter, maybe 5-10 pairs.  
- 3-6 month outfits - You will want a lot more of these.  
- Bibs - We never used because DD literally didn't spit up.  And she didn't drool much either.  When we started solids, she just pulled them off.  So, bibs were a complete waste for us.

DD wore newborn and the smaller 0-3 month stuff for about a month.  Then she wore 0-3 month stuff until around 3 months.

Thanks so much, everyone! I literally have over 30 bibs and pairs of socks. Time to wean!
