What are you dressing you LO in?

pumpkinhead06 · May 2011

I know that I am supposed to put one extra layer on her, but are you still putting your baby in sleeper's or actual outfits at this point?

It is hot where I live right now.. high 80's, with a lot of humidity, so I am not sure how much clothing she should have on.

It's still in the 50s here so he's always in footie sleepers. He's also still underweight and gets cold very easily though.

At home she is in either 1 piece or 2 piece sleepers with feet. Sonetimes long sleeve, sometimes short sleeve. Always has a cozy blanket on her. When we go out, it is typically comfy outfits, short sleeve or sleeveless, again always has a fleecey-type blanket.

It is unholy how hot it is here lately, so he's usually in a onesie and socks around the house and for sleep. If we go out, I put a little shorts and short sleeves outfit on him.

this for us. Onesie and socks. Sleep gown at night, with swaddle (muslin.

If we go out, add a blanket on the car seat.

When it's a bit chilly: zipper sleeper (+ light receiving blanket swaddle at night)

When it's warm: a onesie, with socks if I think he needs leg/foot coverage

When out: usually a blanket over him in the stroller/carseat if it's colder outside than in.

Real outfits are a PITA. I've been avoiding pants for him as much as possible. It just makes diaper changes that much more difficult.

If we are just hanging out around the house, usually I keep her in her sleeper. If we have plans to go outside I dress her in a onesie with pants.

In the house- short sleeve onsie and pants during the day and sleeper with swaddle at night. Usually we have a receiving blanket on him.

When we go out- the same, but I put a long sleeve light jacket on sometimes.

Sleeper and receiving blanket. It's been strangely chilly here for the past week. When it warms up she'll live in onesies.

K has 1,000,000 outfits so we dress her daily. Usually a one piece outfit, sleeveless with fuffles on the butt. Then we keep a blanket on her and you cant even see what shes wearing, go figure!

at night its a sleep gown with a blanket. might go buy a&a today because the fleece blankets are too warm over her gowns, but she wiggles free so i dont want to do just a short sleeve onsie.

her legs are too skinny to keep socks on, lol

Actual outfits during the day, sleeper or gown at night. She gets swaddled in a hospital blanket and a+a at night, during the day we just cover her with a blanket (no swaddle).

It's hot here- Ben's usually got on a one piece something with hand covers b/c he's still scratching his face. Sometimes with feet, sometimes without, sometimes a onesie.

He sleeps in a wrap around shirt thing and a swaddle. He's needs a diaper change 3-4 times a night and it's easier if he doesn't have pants on under the swaddle.

thanks girls. If this was the winter, I wouldn't question myself, but since it's getting very summerlike, I don't want to overheat her.

I am doing the same as you all wrote... sleepers/light blanket and then swaddle at night. I don't have too many actual NB sized outfits, so we haven't worn any yet, but I have plenty of cute sleepers.

MommyHarrison · May 2011

Well, LO wears sleepers around the house and cute outfits when/if we ever go anywhere - which has only happened a couple of times. Our newborn clothing option is small because, well, no one thinks their LO will be in newborn clothes long. She's 3 weeks and still under 7lbs, so we still have a while before we fit into anything bigger. I think I need to do a little shopping!!

ANYWAY, we always keep a blanket over her legs because her feet are too skinny for socks. They're always kicked off before we're even off the changing table.

deo · May 2011

It's been cold and rainy the past couple of days, so he is in sleepers at night and a long sleeve onesie and pants during the day. Today it is sunny out, so I just have him in a long sleeve onesie, no pants and wrapped him in a light receiving blanket.

This. It is over 100 degrees here. I use a receiving blanket for her swaddle and to cover her from the sun outside. I just check her skin throughout the day, if she feels cool, I cover her with a receiving blanket.

NothingLikeBarbie · May 2011

It varies here from 50 degrees to 70 degrees on any given day here, so it really depends. It's either a sleeper, a carters outfit, or a onesie with socks.

For those with babies who can't keep their socks on--if you are worried about their little feet being cold, you can hold the socks on with tape. Put socks on, fold extra cloth over and tape cloth to cloth. A little bit of NICU nurse wisdom to pass along.

CariannelovesTim · May 2011

I've been just putting her in a onesie it's warm here also unless we are out & about in that case she's in 2 piece outfits or dresses.

UndecidedChange · May 2011

It's still rather cold/chilly in Seattle, so we're dressing M in sleepers. Just sleepers and the "straight jacket" (Halo sleep sacks). We've just come to accept that we failed swaddling miserably, regardless of the eons of blankets that we have and tried.

mzsparklepdx · May 2011

It's still on the cool side in Portland, so mostly zipper footed sleepers. Snaps suck! I haven't tried any pants because it seems like too much work. She's wrapped in a swaddler at night and sometimes during the day for comfort. I have tons of NB short-sleeve onesies that I have a feeling she may never wear, if the weather doesn't warm up before she outgrows them. At least most of them were hand me downs so I don't feel like I wasted my money.
