Bring home outfit

CheyenneShaw · September 2010

We are bringing DS home in the same outfit that DH came home in and my mother seems to think its stupid and "not original". This may be because she wants DS to come home in a onesie that she bought from Walmart that says "New baby on the block" or something to that extent for $3.... Anyways just wanted to know what everyone is bringing your baby home in? A sentimental outfit or Something brand-new?

We put DS in my brother's outfit and DH's baby blanket. I didn't care either way, but my mom and MIL thought it would be cool. This time we are having b/g twins so we got them coordinating outfits. They are precious.

I picked a couple of my favorite onesies and matched them up with a hat and some socks. One is smaller than the other so we'll just go with which ever one fits him the best.

Ours will be brand new, but it is something my husband and I picked out together the day we found out we were having a girl.

I bought a new outfit to bring her home in. DH doesn't have any of his baby stuff and it would be too chilly for the stuff my mom saved from me. But, my mom has asked me if we can get a pic of her in a dress I used to wear. I can't wait to compare the photos!

We are bringing our LO home in the baby bunting that I was brought home in. My grandmother made it for me when I was born and our little girl is going to be named after her.

Its not a band new outfit, bought it at a yard sale, but its new to DD and hopefully, I will get to bring her home in it soon! Its a long sleeve onsie, pants, and a little hat to match- very cute and I am sure the people who had their little girl in it first spent a lot of money on it. Not sentimental, but I will have 6 weeks to be home with my girls and putting on clothes for pictures.

I think it's so sweet to bring home your baby in the same outfit DH wore!

I'm bringing a few different choices--a white onesie with cute pink pants and a hat, a dress with leggings, and a strawberry zip up hoddie with matching pants. I just can't decide what I like the best, plus I'm a chronic overpacker

Same thing that DS came home in. It's a white sleeper with a duck on it and a matching hat. I never thought about what DS would come home in but that was newborn sized so I packed it.

I like that it's gender neutral and that both of my kids can come home in it.

We were going to bring DD home in a $3 Walmart onesie, lol... BUT she puked on it before we could get out of the hospital.

No matter what you decide on, I'd suggest bringing more than one just incase.

Our DS came home in a cute outfit I had purchased from baby Gap.

DD is going to come home in the dress and bonnet that I wore home when I was born... I think it's sweet, but seems itchy, lots of lace. I'm going to pair it up with some nice thick leggings.

I think it's wonderful that you want to bring your LO home in the same thing your DH wore home for the first time! Sorry your mom is being lame about it...

As for us, we haven't bought an outfit yet, but we'll probably just do a sleeper with a hat, plus booties that my grandmother made for my mom for her first grandchild. My mom gave them to me at my shower and I absolutely bawled (my grandmother died almost 10 years ago). So, ours is a mixture of new and sentimental, but the sentimental part is really important to me.

I don't know yet, I've got a whole pile of hand-me-downs from my nieces and some new outfits that I still have to sort through - I'll probably just pick something I like & that will be comfortable for little girl. I'm not too into the whole "coming home outfit" thing - it's just a car ride across the street for us.

Totally understand where you're coming from. I might have needed to add that his "coming home outfit" is also what he is getting his pictures taken in=)

We will probably bring her home in whatever happens to be my favorite outfit at the time. Right now it's a pink jacket, white onesie, and coordinating striped leggings.

We have something new but we thought about it a lot before deciding on it. LO got a lot of clothes, and one set he received is the sleeping gowns (that scrunches at the bottom) from BILs mom - its blue and has a brown dog on it, says Woof (we are dog lovers in the family). If we dont use that, we are also taking a blue footed pajamas with puppies all over it that has a matching hat and puppy ears on the feet, that DH fell in love with at Carters. Neither DH nor I have any sentimental clothing from our babyhoods - his family is 8 hours away and not for packing stuff like that, and mine immigrated over to the US with two suitcases and a carry on.

Something brand new, but something we picked out and love to no end..

TAMLVSCARL · September 2010

I think you should go with the outfit that has sentimental value. A Walmart onesie can be worn anytime & I think it's silly for your Mom to insist you do that. Go with the outfit your DH wore home.

We bought a cute lil fleece vest & pants set with a Little Brother onesie underneath for our LO's coming home outfit. I don't think the going home is the big deal--its more its the first outfit your LO will wear that makes it an important outfit for so many.
