Too many newborn and 0-3 month clothes
I had just the right amount of clothes for newborn/0-3 months until today. My coworkers...god bless them, they are so sweet -- hosted a luncheon/shower for me today. I received like 7-8 of those layette sets (hat, socks, bib, onesie, pants, and sleeper), like 20 more pairs of socks. I think I have way too much stuff now and am not sure my baby will get to wear all of them.
I don't have reciepts, but most of them are Carters with the tag on, one is from Target, and 2 are from Macys. I hate to do it, but I think I will try to return and get store credit to buy diapers, wipes, and nursing gear.
What would you guys do?

Re: Too many newborn and 0-3 month clothes
This happened to me with my first baby so I anticipated the same would happen with this one. Sure enough, tons of tiny clothes.
I'd return what you can
I had the opposite problem. I got 1 13lb sleeper and 1 NB onesie at my last shower. I got a closet full of 3-6 and 6-9 month sleepers, onesies and clothes. I had to go buy 3 little 10lb sleepers just so I felt 'safe' if baby came.
My MIL was asking what we still needed because we're having a shower for her side of the family. I told her we had like no little clothes (NB and 0-3) and she came back later and told me she had told her friends/family that we needed little clothes, but not too little, like 3-6 month. She keeps saying NB and 0-3 are a waste and he'll only be in them for a couple weeks. My brother and his wife had an 8lb boy and he was in NB for a full month and would have been even longer except for his cloth diapers that have put him into the 0-3.
I got hit with what they call "first baby and it's a girl" syndrome... I must have 60 onesies now.
At this point, I washed enough for 2 weeks of clothing. The rest has the tags on it... if we get to the point where I want to wash/use them great... otherwise they're going to the used baby clothes store as consignment credit for when she gets bigger. People actually bought me Christmas outfits... seriously?!!
We also got boxes of diapers and stuff because we already bought everything we needed for the baby.
Sounds good to me
mcwhittaker where were you when I was having a nervous breakdown over baby clothes in Target yesterday. I was seriously looking at baby clothes (Newborn and 3 mo's) trying to figure out how I was going to wash them to get ready for baby AND keep the tag on. I'm already not thinking clearly!
OP - I have the opposite problem a bunch of 3-6 and 9+ outfits but maybe 2 onesies for 0-3 months and not one "newborn" outfit. I wish I could send you my 3-6 and 6+ outfits in exchange for the newborn ones, but I'm having a boy.
if they are carters just return them to BRU they will take them back and give you full credit, which is nice.
I would keep them due to you do not know how big your little one will be and you may need them. I only returned duplicates.
you will be surprised at how many onsies and outfits you are going to want and need.
if anything keep them for a bit till the baby is here and then you can better gauge whether you need them or not. also if you know someone that is having a baby you can always regift them to a new mom who will surely be happy to have them esp a second time mom that might not be getting a shower.
good to know that BRU will take Carter's stuff back for store credit. I'm on maternity leave now, so I'm spending next week organizing and finishing buying stuff off the registry
