Going home outfit

balamama · January 2016

This came up on the weekend ticker change thread and I thought it deserved its own thread... What do you plan to dress baby in when you bring him or her home for the first time? I have a few cute onesies (0-3m) but I'm undecided on the going home outfit for baby boy F. Share your thoughts and any potential going home outfits for your LOs here!

Here's the one I picked out (along with baby's first book/toy/blanket [that my mom made!]/STFU I'M TRYING TO WORK machine). The design made me laugh -- I don't know whether that stunnned-looking groundhog is mirroring my expression or the futurebaby's, but I'm sure it'll be at least one of ours -- but I doubt this particular onesie will be seeing a ton of use beyond that, since it's a pull-on design and everything I've read suggests that snap and kimono garments are more practical for daily use.

Still, for $17 off Etsy, I can't regret it even if we only end up using it the once.

Bring 2. My son pooped on his 2 minutes before I put him in the car seat to go home lol

I saw an ad on my Facebook newsfeed for this outfit and have been obsessed ever since.

That1didntcount · January 2016

With my first, I wore pajamas home, and my daughter wore a newborn sleeper we had bought the night before she was born just in case she was actually newborn size. I apparently thought I was going to have a giant. She was 7 lbs 9 ounces. Sigh. Unless baby #2 and I go home naked, things can only improve.

For my first he wore a sleeper gown home, because that's all that fit! I knew he would be bigger (almost 10lbs) and I brought two footie outfits that were 0-3 month size that didn't even fit because his feet were wide and thick.

This time I got the cutest outfit, so I hope it fits. (I took off the huge bow on the pants though)

saladflambe · January 2016

No idea lol

kbrands7 · January 2016

DS wore a cotton sleeper home, this one probably will too. Maybe he'll wear a long-pants romper since I have some cute ones in 0-3 size now. Really, for the first week. I kept DS in extremely comfortable clothes that were easy on, easy off. He graduated to cute onesies a pants after that.

I like things like this - classic items you can keep as mementos. I like the onesie just for fun.

daddy's favorite soccer team... just ordered them today!

I just bought this today from Old Navy.

JoMunson · January 2016

My mom knitted him a really nice dark teal hat, so he'll wear that (we're in Oregon where it's still a little cold and rainy in May). I haven't decided on the rest yet. I think I'll just pack my top three favorites for him in nb and 3 month size (just in case!) and for blankets my mom kept the blanket all three of my siblings and I came home in so most likely that, but I'll pack a swaddle blanket (probably the light grey) just in case...and a sweatshirt...and socks...jeez. It's hard to pick a first outfit for a person.

My outfit is #3! So soft! Added some white hand knitted booties my mum's friend made for us.

Need some team green ideas over here!

I'm going back and forth between 1 and 3! I'm in Texas so while May isn't the hottest month, it's already pretty warm. I'm wondering if 3 is too warm but it's definitely my favorite.

I live in Texas as well! I'm a FTM. You could be right! Never know the temperature here. But they are so small, A/C is blasting everywhere. I think for going home it will be fine. Love #1 by the way as well!!!

helleebellee · January 2016

I haven't even given it any thought.

maddenmm · January 2016

Just ordered this set today. Baby girl will wear the onesie, sleeper and the hat to go home.

dsmith211 · January 2016

This is one of our options but I have no idea whether I should NB or the 3 month size...

1mae2016 · January 2016

although it is not the best picture, baby girl will be wearing this home with a white onsie underneath and white booties or baby vans

yogahh · January 2016

Nothing special. Taking a newborn and a 0/3 outfit. I figure I love everything I've gotten so whatever I pick from the array of clothes she has will be perfect.

ammnam14 · January 2016

Lurking...

We brought DD home in the white hospital onesie. Both DH and I were so over being in the hospital we didn't want to waste any more time being there. We were also terrified to change her. Haha first time parent probs. Definitely take NB size clothing. You would be surprised.

RLVbaby · February 2016

DH bought this at Christmas time and a little headband with a bow for her take home outfit. He hates shopping so I thought it was super sweet that he took the time to pick this out for our little Princess.

swflJD · February 2016

I'm going to wait until after our baby showers to decide. I'm sure we'll be getting a lot of cute outfits at those (my SIL said my MIL has filled an entire spare bedroom with baby clothes and baby gear already...which we have no storage for

), so we'll probably just choose one of those.

Found this on Etsy... haven't ordered it yet... but I'm obsessed with it

... so payday I'm definitely putting in my order.

araecasey · February 2016

Newborn outfit I found on Amazon, I have a silver newborn bow for it in case baby's a girl. I think this suits lots of different weather scenarios and is cutely gender neutral.

Mom bought this for our baby girl before we knew it was a baby girl. I think the joke is on me now because she needs something sweeter to go home in.

LovingLife! · February 2016

We have a little polka dot sleeper sack that we brought our first two home in. If I find it while washing baby clothes, I'll pack it for baby June to wear home too

khochanadel · February 2016

It will be baseball season, so I'm thinking one of these. (Minus the bibs of course.)

call+it+magic · February 2016

My dad just gave me this outfit and i loved it!!!
In my family we always use yellow, it's a tradition!

Sienna516 · February 2016

The only newborn size outfit/onesie we have so far is the one I gave to my husband to tell him we were pregnant. So I think we'll probably use that one maybe? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R0E2YD0/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687642&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00OW6OVH6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JFA1Z2YG13SC87A0NAK

onislandtime · February 2016

@baby+vega I got it on Etsy. I think the sellers name is Olive loves Apple or something similar to that

QBF your DH has good taste!! Lol. My DH is a scouser so i follow by default.

As for going home outfit, ill just be glad to be wearing clothing lol.

gorgeousariel · February 2016

I love this onesie because it has a keyhole back. I want to find some pants to go along with it.

I'm kind of the same way.. I follow because DH does

though we have gone to Anfield a couple times and I must say it was so much fun!

JoMunson · February 2016

I posted this awhile ago, but now that I'm seeing other peoples I'm rethinking my ideas. My mom got a Dior sleep sack for 0/3 when my brothers and I were very tiny and she gave it to me. It has little sail boats on it, and it's really soft since its older. I think it would be a good thing to go home in.

Yeah anfield is so awsome! Got to sit in the Kop a couple of times. Even saw a couple of wins - so clearly wasn't tgis season

camillaandcarson · February 2016

I had an outfit picked out the first time around, it was 0-3 but it was too big. My baby was a little on the smaller side and a newborn would have fit better.

Charissadeats · March 2016

My DH chose this as the going home outfit over the weekend. He was very specific that this is what he wanted - down to the ears part. So I'm gonna let him have it

It will be winter with us then!
