    I can't decide if I should do short sleeve because it's hot in August or long sleeve because he'll be in air conditioning in the hospital and the car.

  • @TheMrs I vote for long-sleeved. Babies are just learning to regulate their body temperature outside of the womb. The rule of thumb is what mom is wearing +1 layer. Also, baby will likely be in the A/C most of the time.

    @PinkPrincessPiper does that mean it's totally ok to bring a baby hoodie? It's so tiny and cute I just couldn't help myself!

    I think so. It may be a little impractical though! :D I do long sleeves/pants & a cotton blanket. 
  • tova24tova24 member
    @PinkPrincessPiper I might need to reevaluate my outfit. Good thing we have time! 
  • I would think a blanket would count as the second layer. In 80-90+ heat I'm not wearing a blanket lol so I think I would count that as babies second layer. You can even tuck it all around the baby in the seat as if they were swaddled

    I brought my DS home in a hoodie see post) it was easy to get on. Evaluate I didn't have to put it over his head because it zipped up.

  • @bwing10 Do you have the link for that outfit on Etsy? I also struggled with infertility and that outfit is perfect for a coming home outfit!
  • @secicc12 that is adorable 
  • LSP87LSP87 member
    @secicc12 that romper is super cute. I'm in the same boat as you--I plan on bringing a short sleeve outfit and a long sleeve because I'm not sure about what baby will be comfortable in either.
  • @secicc12 DD was born in June and it was hot when we brought her home (much like this June has been here). Her coming home outfit was a tank onesie, cardigan, and shorts with a light (A&A muslin) blanket over her legs. I, personally, would rather have their legs "exposed" and covered with a blanket than their arms. Since legs are typically easier to keep covered via a blanket.

    @taylormarie923 I love those outfits!! So cute!
  • @secicc12 sooo cute! I know what you mean, the summer heat throws off the outfit planning indeed. It'll be cold in the hospital bldg, but once you walk out its hot as hades, then you go into the vehicle and it's warm w/AC blowing, then home in AC.  Thanks summer heat, thanks!

    @taylormarie923 OMG those outfits are so adorable for him & her!
