question for the mommies

in North Carolina Babies

I was just doing an inventory of our baby clothes and noticed that we have only 2 newborn sleepers/outfits!   We have quite a few 0-3 month and 3 month items.

Do you think I need to buy some newborn outfits/sleepers or did your LOs wear the 0-3 month or 3 month things right away ok?

Right now (with 8 weeks to go till c-section) our little guy is 3-3.5 lbs...very average in size.  The doctor doesnt think he is going to be a giant guy, but she cant really say more than that.  :)

    I would probably get at least 2-4 more nb sleepers ... DD wore those for the first 6 weeks, and she was 7lb15oz at birth. Plus, they will have accidents on them and you will want backups. :)

    Agreed, AT was the same. We LOVED the sleep sacks. Some do and some dont. They were really easy for night dipare changes etc.

    Katie was 8.4 but still wore nb for about a month. I'd get more since you won't want to do laundry that often the first few weeks!

    Both of my girls wore NB size for at least about 6 weeks and they were 7.5 and 8.5 lbs.  I would definitely get a few more newborn things.  But watch out for Gerber stuff b/c it runs super small.

    i agree to get some more newborn sleepers...we didnt have too many so my sister in law got us some more from the carters outlet in concord after he was born (7 lb).  he wore them for about 2 months or more.

    I only had 3 or so, and Jocelyn was 8lbs14oz and I needed more. I probably had 6 total plus sleep sacs. I got about 5-6 weeks out of them, she pretty much lived in the same things. Outfits that zip up with feet are the way to go. I didn't put an "outfit" with pants, onesie,etc., on her until almost 4 weeks and I remember it being a hassle w/all the diaper changes!

    Confused mom-to-be here....can someone explain the difference between a sleeper and a sleep sac? We registered for 2-3 sleep sacs, but what are sleepers? Our new arrival will be here at the end of March so I'm a little concerned about him roasting in his clothes! ;)

    by sleepers I mean a one piece thingy with legs and feet :)  I think they are called sleep and plays.

    I have a 5 or 6 sleepsacks...but sounds like I could use a couple sleepers in NB size too.

     

    Thanks ladies!

    I had a March 1 baby and we did the "sleep and plays" which are just footed sleepers that they can spend the whole day in, some zip and some button. We also did a fleece Carters sleepsack and a swaddle blanket, but we found she got too hot with the sleep sack, I did not (still don't) like Carters fleece material for sleepsacks and sleepers. I highly recommend Halo cotton sleepsacks and even their fleece is WAY more breathable than Carters.
