f/u to newborn clothing - am i all set now?

kimarino13 · December 2009

OK, here is what I have (in newborn size) after some shopping at Carter's and double checking what my mom has bought for me. Let me know if I am missing anything.

10 footed sleepers

6 cotton pants

6 long sleeve patterned onesies

6 long sleeve basic white onesies

I also have some gowns, but I think they are 0-3 and there are some that are "one size" (whatever that means).

Thanks again for your help with this!

You might want a few more pants. If there are blowout/leaks you could go through 6 very quickly.

Also, do you have any socks? We didn't use them at newborn but my boys were born in June.

When our girls were newborns (and not really going anywhere), we just put them in footed sleepers all the time. They made things easy. You might want a few more of those.

I don't know if your house gets colder in the winter, being in Southern California, but if it does, you might want to put short-sleeved onesies on under their sleepers. And socks.

Do you have sleep sacks?

Duh, I forgot about the socks. Yes! We have a ton of socks. Thanks!

Thank you!

Our house doesn't get too cold, and when it does, MH turns the heater on.

Yes, we have 4 newborn sleep sacks and then 4 "small" sleep sacks. And a bunch of Aden & Anais swaddle blankets.

I'd get a few more sleepers and call it a day.

Will they be wearing sleepers during the day? Our boys wore newborn clothing for awhile. I find that I need at least 8-10 pairs of pjs and 10 outfits to get me through a week. We didn't have alot of spit ups or blow outs though so we were lucky.

I would imagine that for the first few weeks they will be in sleepers while in the house. I probably won't put outfits on them for awhile. Onesies and pants, maybe, but not full-on outfits if that makes sense.

I picked up a few more sleepers and pants, so I think we should be set at least for awhile. The Carter's Outlet is 2 miles away so MH can always run out to pick up whatever we need if we find that we're short on something once they get here.

I still don't have a single thing in Preemie, though...
