I have a TON of baby clothes, but one thing I don't really have are gowns. I don't see a lot of gowns for boys, there are a few gender neutral ones but not many. There are tons for girls, and I had a lot for DD but when it comes to prepping for this LO I'm not seeing many. I have onesies, side snap shirts and pants out the wazoo- just stick with that or go on full warpath mode in search of gowns? DD is almost 4 and my memories of those early months are hazy from lack of sleep so I don't really remember if those were a lifesaver or not...
Re: What are you planning on dressing LO in?
I had a gown or two for the boys and I really liked how easy they made diaper changes (and I definitely don't see them as often as I used to) but I wouldn't say they are a must-have.
This time around we are having a girl and while we have a lot of hand-me-down outifts and dresses, everything I have bought has been onesies (with either stretchy pants or baby legs) and sleep & play one piece things. I think the on-piece outfits will get the most use because the thought of NO WAISTBAND sounds so comfy to ME, lol! And they can be jammies too so I won't feel obligated to put on different pajamas if they outfit is clean(ish).

on DD, and really weren't a lifesaver for us when it came to diaper changes. I found them to be a lot more work, actually.

I feel like I must live under a rock, because I didn't know they sold gowns for babies... We just have footed pj's and some onesies.

Maybe they're not as common in Canada? lol All I keep picturing are frilly christening gowns when you guys talk about them. I tried opening the link but had to sign up in order to access the page and I don't want to do that (I can't stand when websites do that). So I'm still a little clueless. lol
You're not talking about sleepsacks, are you guys?

No they aren't sleepsacks, as they are open at the bottom. Imagine a long sleeved dress for a baby. (from what I could tell from zulilly and google). Oh and when I was at BRU last night they didn't have any for sale (at least at my location).. Wondering if this is more of an American thing like the Rock N Play.
Oh! Are they those nightgown-type things with elasticized bottoms? I finally Google Imaged baby gowns and that's what I found. I've seen a few of them here and there (Old Navy online, I think it was the American site) but not in any stores. I thought they were funny looking and didn't see the point in them...but, on second thought, they actually make sense! Hmm...may have to look into them.
Ah, yes, the Rock N Play. I had no idea what one of those were either. Had to Google them a while back. lol
