What do kids wear in Florida?

in Florida Babies
Hi girls, I'm currently living in Michigan right now, but moving to Florida next week for my husbands job.   We have about 6 bins of my son's old baby clothes, and maternity clothes.  Most of them are warmer because he was born in January.  I hate to throw any baby stuff out since when we have baby #2 who knows if it's going to be another boy or not.   So really my question is, do babies in florida wear heavy clothes, such as sweatpants, sweaters, heavy sleepers??   I hate to bring more than what we will possibly use since we already have so much stuff to bring.   I would love to donate or get rid of a lot of baby stuff if I could before we move.   Thanks!

    Hi Stacey,

     You're moving to Naples?  There is a big difference between North Florida and South Florida (well, for us Floridians there is!).  In the Naples area, I would say that you might get a week or two of what we consider winter weather - maybe gets into the 40's.  I'm pregnant with my first, so I can't speak to what babies/kids wear, but as an adult that has lived all over the state, I can tell you that I definitely get use out of my sweaters, long sleeve shirts, long pants, etc. during the winter.  Just to give you an idea - my sisters live in Washington State and Chicago.  My wedding was in February this year in the Tampa/Clearwater area (about 2.5 hours north of Naples).  The week leading up to the wedding was cold - not just Florida cold - my sisters were cold.  But then a few days later it was in the 70's....it can be kinda schitzo.

    I agree - the weather can be annoying - a jacket/sweater one day, and tank top the next.  I don't think you will need that much warm clothes.  Focus more on layers, instead of heavy one pieces.  I still have piles of winter clothes that I haven't been able to wear all of in years from when I lived in NJ!

    I would keep some of them..but not 6 bins worth. My son wears a lot of sweatpants at night in the winter. He will need a few jackets and long sleeves, but no snowsuits. I would say keep some of your fav in each size.

    Thanks everybody for the replies.  I ended up donating all the stuff from 6 months on, and I am keeping the baby stuff.   I just cannot bring myself to part with all the clothes, maybe I'm just being sentimental to babies or something.  We do plan on trying for #2 in the next couple months so I hate to have to re-buy all those things.   thanks girls!!
