How many pair of socks does an infant need?

I noticed tonight, we don't have many pair of socks for the girls. 

How many pair of socks should I buy for their October arrival?

 Thanks!

that depends... how many of their outfits have feet attached?

I hate baby socks because my girls always manage to get them off. We have probably 8 pairs of socks and rarely use them because they LIVE in zip-up footed sleepers. All day, every day. Zip-up sleepers. Do it. For your sanity.

I think we have 15 pair per kid and for the twins it's MORE than enough.  I think 10 pair each is more than plenty.

ITA. We are just now starting the guys wearing socks, since they are getting too big for sleep and plays.

I had a very few pairs of socks.  There were probably less than 3-4 pairs per baby that were actually worn.  They lived in footed sleepers for the first 3 months.  And, I always kept the house warm enough that I didn't really feel the need to put socks on them in the house after February or so, once we started wearing real outfits.

Same for us. Each baby received a box of fancy Trumpette socks from my boss when they were born that had 6 pairs in it, and that was more than sufficient for the first 7-8 months.

my twins lived in the Carter sleepers with feet the first 3 months of their lives LOL it was just easier, less laundry, less outfits to put together, etc.

So I would say no socks :-P I didn't use any socks until closer to 5 months when I started actually dressing them in onesies and pants, hehe

Zero.  We just never used them and if we did babies managed to get them off.

Now at 13 months and using shoes to walk we're finally using socks.
