How many white onesies do I need?

I imagine that Madelyn will wear a white onesie underneath most things....How many did you register for/how many should I get????

We bought about 5 of the 0-3 size & 10 of the 3-6 mo. size onesies, in addition to sleepers & outfits.  According to friends w/babies, you should expect your LO to poo, pee or spit up multiple times a day, requiring more diaper & clothing changes than one would imagine.

I don't know if this will be enough, but I figured it would be a good start.

I'm starting with 5 white nb onesies and 5 white 3 month onesies, I also got a pack of the snap t shirts to use as well so they don't irritate her belly button

I never used plain white ones with DS

The only ones I had were a few that coordinated with outfits

I did not use very many onesies at all, he was mostly in the sleep n play one piece outfits

Think about how big she will be during the summer too, when you won't likely be layering and get fewer in that size (guessing 3-6m size).  It also depends on how often you are willing to do laundry.  In the beginning you could go through 3 - 5 in a day, but it tapers off.  I have no idea the actual numbers tho, maybe 5-10 in 0-3m and 5 in 3-6.

I didn't use a whole lot of all white onesies either- maybe 3-4 of each size. Otherwise, they coordinated w/ outfits. And as they start eating rice cereal and then other baby foods, it gets quite messy so I usually aimed to get dark colored clothing/patterned so spills would blend in (not everything comes out in the wash!).

I got 10 in each size. I figure I won't be washing every day and would probably get colored onesies as gifts.

Let's just say that I have plenty in each size now!

Oh shoot! Thanks for the reminder! We have a package of 0-3 and 3-6 so far but not sure how many...I do know at one point I said I needed to get more! Here I thought we were all ready for her...haha. Guess the next time I'm out I'll grab some!

we only use a few....since we have tons of cute pattern onsies.  I do like the long sleeve ones to go under the cute pattern ones.  We can easily get by with three.

Why do you imagine that she will wear a onesie underneath most outfits?  Is it really cold where you are?  Do you keep your house cold?  I don't if she will be attending day care, but at DD's place, they keep the infant room a bit warmer than the others.

My DD was born in late June so we didn't put her in more than a diaper unless we had company or were leaving the house, but we don't layer onesies under other outfits now.  You may need a few to go under little hoodie/pants outfits that you get, but many outfits come with a matching onesie.

After all that, my answer is not many.

I registered for the following in white:

newborn: white side snap t's, 5-pack long-sleeved onesies

0-3 mo: white side snap t's, 5 pack long sleeved onesies, 5 pack short sleeved onesies

3-6 mo: 5 pack long sleeved onesies, 5 pack short sleeved onesies

6-9 mo: 5 pack long sleeved onesies, 5 pack short sleeved onesies

I also registered for 5-packs of printed onesies and coordinating pants at 0-3 and 3-6 months.

I also figured a lot of people like to pick up this sort of thing for you, and that I would end u pwith more than enough If not, I can always go out and get them.
