moms of babies born in warm months

KelleyA · May 2010

I haven't done much (ok, any) prep for this baby. I have no idea what I need and don't need. What kind of clothing will DC wear? Just onesies? Onesies and socks? Do I need pants too?

I have muslin blankets to wrap the baby in, but other that those I have nothing set aside for this kiddo. Can you tell I'm feeling the pressure coming down on me now?

Thank you!

Ollie lived in footed sleepers for awhile and then pants after that. I personally think Houston is colder in summer - obviously not outside, but a/c is usually cranked pretty low wherever you go. Unless you're hanging outside I'd plan on dressing the LO relatively warmly.

During the day, I did onesies and socks... at night, I'd do a footed sleeper or a onesie/pants/socks. We kept the house at 72/73 at all times right after having K and she did just fine with that. (we swaddled at first... but I'm not a swaddler so it didn't last long... probably by 1m she was in onesies/pants with a light blanket over here)

I think Reagan mostly hung out in onesies and the little one piece outfits. At night she gets hot and needed to be swaddled so she ended up in just a little snap shirt with her diaper and then the swaddle.

i agree that houston is cold inside. even i carry a sweater all summer. my fave has always been a onsie with knit pants.

i am kind of weird in that i footed things to me are pajamas and are worn to sleep in and onsies to me are not clothes. they are a shirt and need pants with them. lol. just my little quirk

DD lived in just a onesie for the first several months. We don't keep our house that cold. I had a receiving blanket to put over her if we were out somewhere with freezing a/c. She slept in a t-shirt and swaddled.

I totally agree with you in theory and O never really wears onesies. But we were hooked on footie pjs that first month or 2. I blame DH (and my laziness).

onesies and socks were our dear friends as dd was born in late july. we keep our house cool at night so we would put her in sleep sacks too.
