@Swazzle It really depends on your baby, unfortunately. DS never had any issues with spitting up/ reflux when he was tiny, so he could wear an outfit for an entire day, no problem. I had friends whose newborns had to be changed constantly. It's honestly been since DS has gotten older and been exposed to more viruses (puking, etc, everywhere), and drinking so much that sometimes he leaks out of his diapers, and especially since he started eating solids that he's needed more outfits per day.
That being said, when DS was a newborn, we didn't go out very much. He spent a lot of time in white onesies and fleece pjs (born in late November). Also, for sizing, I would get some newborn outfits, but wait until the baby is born to invest in more. We had to go buy more bc the doctor 'estimated' from my last u/s that he would be around 8lb. He was 6lb 12oz, and wore newborn size for three months. The same goes for diapers. I'd get a box of newborn size, but you'll probably spend more time in 1's if your baby isn't a peanut.
@Swazzle - DD never wore newborn stuff. She was a big baby. So all of that stuff got donated/put away. She didn't require a lot of outfit changes at first- she wasn't a spit-upper and never had leaky diapers, so one outfit a day was more than sufficient. Once she started eating solids (at 6 months), she changed clothes a lot more. She went through a phase where she would blow out her diaper.....often.....and of course get food on herself.
I would have one or two NB things on hand just in case, and a few 0-3 month, but you can easily buy more. We were team green and within 3 days, we had piles of girls clothes sent to us by family and friends. A lot of it she never even wore. I was really happy I only bought a few things.
I like to go to consignment sales so far! Unfortunately the consignment sales are selling mostly summer clothes now. The Fall winter clothes will pick up in August. I also can't wait for the summer for yard sales to really start happening a lot. Nothin beats clothes for $0.25 (maybe free hand me downs)
@Swazzle I had a long and lean baby who's been in the 100%+ height percentile his whole life. He was EBF so when he was spitting up/having blow outs as an infant it never stained- often his clothes were good all day long. as others said its once you intro food you go through the most. Probably 6-12 month and 12-18 were our longest stages. NB lasted 4 weeks before he was literally spilling out of his outfits. by 3 months he was in 6-month clothing so that stage was short. I bought a good number of clothing lots so I always had a little bit of the next size up and could watch for sales to fill in the gaps if I was missing things.
This baby gets the grand honor of using like 90% of DS's handmedowns. I've bought him a few things of his own, but I feel really fortunate to be able to reuse so much.
As far as what's been catching my eye, Target's Cat & Jack stuff is adorable, and I loved Carters and Baby Gap for DS and will probably pick up a few things from those places for this guy.
Swazzle I am finding that people are wanting to gift me used and new clothing in the more 0-6month size range (even some 9month) but older than that seems to be where I am going to need to shop myself or put on my registry specific size and items.

Question: STM+ moms, when something is sized 6-12 months instead of 6-9 or 9-12, can I expect it to actually fit that whole time, or do they generally fit more that the beginning or end of that estimated 6 months?
@mrs_tacos my experience with the longer ranges of clothing sizes is that they fit best more towards the beginning and middle of those ranges. But DS2 is also on the larger side (24mo/2T clothing and quickly outgrowing at 16 months)...
@mrs_tacos my experience with the longer ranges of clothing sizes is that they fit best more towards the beginning and middle of those ranges. But DS2 is also on the larger side (24mo/2T clothing and quickly outgrowing at 16 months)...
And my boy is the complete opposite because he is tall and skinny so like he's almost 20 months but is just now fitting perfectly into 18-24 month clothes. It all just depends on the baby unfortunately

I got a bunch of 6-12 stuff at Old Navy when DD was about 6 months old. She just turned 1 and is starting to grow out of it. Some of the stuff was slightly large when she first started wearing it, but she could still wear it just fine. She tends to be right on average for height and weight. I started buying more from Old Navy because I felt like she grew out of Carter's stuff really quickly and she can get more use out of Gap and Old Navy because of their sizing.
Sizing can be soooo different from brand to brand and it sucks.
Preach!!
This. And sometimes even within a brand.
I stuck mostly with Carter's for convenience, rewards, and because they did better about the clothes not being horribly wide on DS. I found Gap clothes always swam on him. DS has been average or just below on weight, but top percentiles for height.
For those wanting to do clothes with feet attached, AND planning to baby wear, make sure it always fits big enough that they can comfortably bend their legs, feet, and toes. You don't want the pants pulling on their toes.
Brand to brand differences are so annoying. Gerber is super skinny and tiny compared to Carters.

@mrs_tacos I had a long baby but she work 6 to 12 months for awhile. She was in 18 months for her 1st birthday. She is just now 2 and is in 3T for length but seriously swims in the waist line... TCP and Old Navy have the adjustable waist bands which saves us. I have found that Old Navy and Gymboree run bigger than most of the other brands. And in my opinion they run longer too.
@mrs_tacos I'm a FTM, but i think it really really depends on the kid. My nephew is 2 1/2 and still in 16 month clothing. I don't know if all brands do this, but I noticed on the tags for Cat & Jack at Target they have the ages and a weight range too which I thought was super handy.
Zara is my absolute favorite! I also really like H&M's baby stuff. For special occasions I'll hit up Janie and Jack's sale rack lol. Such cute things but way overpriced. And for pj's and home clothes I like Bonds wondersuits (an Australian company that ships international on orders over $100AUD, which is a great deal since our dollar is stronger). Do yourselves a favor and get some. They are the absolute best!

I just looked up Bonds - all the heart eyes! How do they fit? I see they have 6-12 months. Do those fit closer to 6 months or 12? I am definitely going to get a few different kinds. What's the material like? Looks really soft. And I agree - Zara's kids stuff is the cutest!
edit: mobile bumping while sitting at my computer ha!
The fit is closer to the 12 for my kids, they're in the lower percentile so it will probably vary from kid to kid. The material is a dream. Super soft and it's a stretchy fabric that doesn't lose its shape and look huge after a few hours of wearing them.
Another thing I absolutely love about them is that they have the folds at the hands and feet so baby doesn't scratch their faces and if you want to let those little toes breathe or kiss them toes, they can. My sister and I both used them for our other kids and recommend them to everyone and once they use them everyone is in love haha
@Inanigloo you have to hit them up when they have their sales! You can get things pretty cheap! And the my have the basics line which is very reasonably prices
I love to garage sale and do consignment stores as well. You can get stuff just like new for so cheap! I also like Old Navy, Cat & Jack at Target, Crazy 8 and Gymboree sales.
@wineren , many do have a height/weight chart, but I can't even seem to always trust that. My DS is 2.5 and was in the 98th percentile for height and weight at his 2 year appointment. According to sizing labels, he should be in a 5T due to his weight, but 5Ts are still way too large on him, particularly pant length. So, sometimes I end up trying clothes on at home (impossible to do with him in a store) and then returning a portion of the items. Also I only buy pants that are elastic waist so he is able to spend more time in them.
Gap, Old Navy, and Zara! I hate big plastic decals/words so I like that they are affordable and not tacky. Gap/Old Navy have sales frequently, Zara a few times a year!
For small shops I love Briar Bonnets, Wunderkin Co. (hair bows), Freshly Picked (moccasins, not really a small shop anymore though), Childhood's Clothing.
Re: Baby Clothes!! (Shopping! Yay!)
Also for stm what size baby clothes are the best to buy. I have heard a few moms say that as gifts they received a lot of 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes?
That being said, when DS was a newborn, we didn't go out very much. He spent a lot of time in white onesies and fleece pjs (born in late November). Also, for sizing, I would get some newborn outfits, but wait until the baby is born to invest in more. We had to go buy more bc the doctor 'estimated' from my last u/s that he would be around 8lb. He was 6lb 12oz, and wore newborn size for three months. The same goes for diapers. I'd get a box of newborn size, but you'll probably spend more time in 1's if your baby isn't a peanut.
DS2: EDD- 09.08.17
I would have one or two NB things on hand just in case, and a few 0-3 month, but you can easily buy more. We were team green and within 3 days, we had piles of girls clothes sent to us by family and friends. A lot of it she never even wore. I was really happy I only bought a few things.

I stuck mostly with Carter's for convenience, rewards, and because they did better about the clothes not being horribly wide on DS. I found Gap clothes always swam on him. DS has been average or just below on weight, but top percentiles for height.
For those wanting to do clothes with feet attached, AND planning to baby wear, make sure it always fits big enough that they can comfortably bend their legs, feet, and toes. You don't want the pants pulling on their toes.

And we love Zara stuff here too. Only get it from consignment stores because the price is too rich for my blood but the fit is fantastic.
For small shops I love Briar Bonnets, Wunderkin Co. (hair bows), Freshly Picked (moccasins, not really a small shop anymore though), Childhood's Clothing.
