what do I need for baby clothing?

speckledfrog

I am really at a loss as to what this kiddo is going to wear once it gets here.  I had my shower, but we are team green so I didn't get a lot of clothes. 

I mostly have short sleeved onesies, a few long and short sleeved side snap shirts, a couple long sleeved gowns, a couple of footed sleepers, and a couple pairs of pants.

I can't help but look at the clothes I have and the time I have left and panic a little because I don't know what I need.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I feel like such a noob! 

 

FWIW, I live in TX and it's in the 50-70s right now and we keep our house at 68.

You are going to get soooo many clothes when the baby is born, I would not worry about it.  Especially since you are team green, everyone is going to buy you either blue or pink baby things!  You have enough to start with!

So, a onesie and a blanket are fine?

I would make sure you have about 5-6 footed sleepers and probably the same number of onesies (long sleeve with the cuffs). PP is right, you are going to get a ton of clothes once the baby is here. Oh, and make sure you have several little newborn hats to keep their little head warm and cozy.

My mom couldn't get to Carters fast enough to bring dd a new wardrobe at the hospital once we had her and found out she was a girl.  Even my dad went out and picked out a couple things.  I'm sure you'll get gifts once the baby is born.  If  not, it's a good excuse to go shopping!  In fact, I have hardly bought dd any clothes because she got lots when she was born in NB size, then at Christmas she was given a whole 0-3 month wardrobe.

I'd have some onesies, some footed sleepers, and the sleep gowns or sleep sacks are nice too.  Oh, and teeny tiny socks and maybe a hat or two since they need help keeping their head warm that early on.

I absolutely love the long sleeved footed sleepers that I have!  We use those more than anything. I like her in long sleeves (we keep the house 69 or 70)

Our baby is 6 weeks old and I would say I didn't buy enough zip up footed PJs.  She lives in them!  If I am just running a quick errand that's what she's in too.  I don't care if people think I'm lazy for leaving her in them either.  I had lots of stuff with snaps and hated it.  Took too much time to match all the snaps back up.  I would have a few cute outfits but not too many since they outgrow them so fast.  We went to a birthday party tonight and LO wore pants and a cute onesie.  If you go to church, have stuff for that too if you want it.
