Do you have your LO's coming home outfit?

CamrynnsMommy

I was reminiscing over my DD's coming home outfits I found today while organizing.

Do you have yours yet? Are you buying a new outfit or will baby be wearing the outfit you/H wore home?

AW them, if you got 'em!

Maybe. We went to Baby Gap last night when we took DD to see Santa. They had everything 40% off! The fox sleeper is a candidate for coming home outfit. The monkey onesie and hat were less than $4 total!

I'm a FTM, and haven't given it thought yet. We haven't bought anything for LO yet, just a name book. I don't want visitors our first few days home, so I don't know if I'll worry about a coming home outfit, vs. a first day of visitors outfit?

I have DS's coming home outfit.  It was white with ducks since we didn't know he was a boy.  I'm having a home birth this time but will put LO#2 in the same outfit for pics once he's clean and fed and we are snuggling.  Oh, I can't wait to see another little baby in that outfit!

We haven't yet, once we know what we're having (next week) I'll be on the hunt. With DD I didn't realize what a huge size difference there was between NB and 0-3 so I had two 0-3 outfits for her to come home in and they were really big on her. She was 7 lbs exactly so she needed NB to start. This time I'll have one NB and one 0-3 just in case.

We picked DS out right after AS yesterday. We did the same thing with DD. I will also pack a 3month size invade he's big. DD was only 6lb 14 so I'm not anticipating he'll be too much larger than her.

It's really your preference, I know some people buy a special outfit to come home in, but if you don't want to use it for coming home that's perfectly fine, it makes sense to use the special outfit for visitors instead.

I do like the idea of the shadow box with a birth announcement, hospital band, an outfit, etc. So if I don't do an outfit specifically for coming home, I'd probably have a hospital photo outfit that I would save, or whatever I use for their first professional photo, that type of thing.

Maybe. My parents gifted us with this set and it says "Welcome to the world" on it, which I love. It's 0-3 mos so if it fits, it's my top contender right now. Technically, it's also the only contender but that's temporary

I don't plan on putting her in anything special. I'll bring 2 in different sizes. I have a 0-3 outfit that I want to use. It's a coral onesie with a bunny on it, coral and navy polka dot pants, and navy blue and white polka dot head band with a small bow. I haven't found a NB size outfit I want to use yet. 

This is what we are doing as well. I don't know what I'm having yet so I have to buy an outfit (or any baby item), but with DD's I just had two different sized Carter's onesies and pants.

I do I do!  Give me five miutes to take a picture.  Dude it is even pink!

DaisyTortilla

Yep! Went to Carter's and took advantage of their 50% off sale. It's a 3 or 4 piece.

Thank you   It is the outfit my sister brought my niece home in   She gave it to me and asked me to use it for the same thing...no problem....super cute...done!

We don't have anything yet. I plan to get a cute boy and girl outfit just bc we are Team Green and will be revealing from the hospital.
A professional photographer comes in to do pics, so I want cute outfits for that.

RachelCA29

I've bought a few things that could make different outfits (different onesies and pants that coordinate) but most of it is gender neutral because I bought them on sale before I knew Lemon is a boy. I have tons of adorable hand-me downs from my twin boy nephews, so I'm not planning to buy any more clothes unless it's killer cute.

I figure someone will gift me something adorable at a baby shower or something. People always seem to find the cutest things for gifting.

Whatever he comes home in, he will look perfect

Edited because I can't type.

DDs coming home outfit was HUGE on her. I don't know what we will do this time. She was swimming in newborn clothes for weeks. I know GAP has an up to 7lbs size so I we will probably have one of those on hand.

ThereBeDragons

Mom gave me a big box with her coming home outfit and blanket (minus the shoes and hat that went to my little sister), my maternal grandfather's coming home outfit and blanket, my father's blanket, and my coming home outfit, blanket, and first pictures outfit. All except my picture outfit were handmade by a grandparent or aunt of the child in question.

It was a little overwhelming. I have no idea if I actually want to use any of them for this baby, but they're mine to keep safe and use if I choose. All the clothes are pretty fragile except my first picture outfit (polyester lasts forever!), special occasion only sort of things. But so pretty and delicate. I'm thinking since baby is going to be named after MIL, maybe we can use my mothers homecoming dress- its by far the prettiest in the box.

Once we find out the gender, I will get mine!

@dbautista88 I just bought that set yesterday!  :x

I don't plan on something special, but maybe something will capture my attention.

kristine526

Not yet, but now I want to go shopping.

Beb wore a white onesie and pink socks.  I am guessing this baby will do the same.  I guess I am boring at coming home outfits.

Damn it, I was hoping you'd give me some inspiration. No, but seriously, I think I'm going to copy your embroidered beanie.

Really? That's awesome. We have good taste in clothing. Lol It was the cutest one I saw there at Carter's.

ckandi007

I went a little crazy on Black Friday with baby girl clothes. I still have to decide which dress!

Mamazon2014

DH went out with me the day we found out that we're having a boy and we picked out these two lol. We're seriously considering using the tux onsie for the coming home outfit

julesf817

11 days and i can start buying clothes. this is making me even more excited. so many cute outfits!

alphalyrae

DH just mentioned this last night. We'll probably look for something soon and get it in NB and 0-3.

His(1&only)wife

If they fit the outfit on the left (longies I knit that DS1 loves) but if he is tiny than the onesie on the right with baby legs.

Shell+Bell

Both my DS's wore the same outfit. Nothing special, just a sleeper.

jschwind22

I made this tie onesie and will pair it with matching pants. Not sure why it is uploading sideways...

She did wear that too!
You should! It was one of my favorite things to have in the hospital.

pistolpackinmomma

It will be a new outfit. I haven't bought anything yet but will need to pick out a boy and girl outfit sometime since we're team green.

awisern

I have two different dresses, one nb and one 0-3.

With ds I only took nb and it was tiny on him at his whopping 8lbs 14 oz....usually second babies are bigger and she's already measuring nine daysahead, so we'll see.

Helmink0804

I'm not sure what kind of outfit to buy. Weather in OH could still be kind of cold or could start getting warm. Guess I'll have to find two outfits- one for warmer weather and one for if it's chill out.

crystalmir91385

I haven't bought anything specific yet. Just a few odds and ends that I thought were cute.

Meg&Austin

One of these probably. The elephant one is 0-3 thatvwe used for an announcement photo thing and the other two are newborn.

goodgalpal

danabsd she is wearing a onesie and pink tights in your siggy too, LOL
