Now I dress her in sleepers at night and my favorite for during the day is a onesie and pair of cotton pants. If we're going somewhere I'll put her in something like a dress or romper. But I think onesies and pants would be perfect for daycare. I like to change her into an outfit after her morning nap so that she's not in the same thing all day (and it's also part of our routine so that she knows it's daytime). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-clothes-how-many-and-what-kind#post-1080193 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:46:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1080193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can only speak to the newborn stage but my summer baby has been in onesies pretty much the whole time. For you I'd guess onesies and footed sleepers will be all she wears inthe first few weeks. We were team green and got a ton of girl outfits sent to us after she was born- mostly sleepers but some "outfits" so I wouldn't buy a ton until after she's born since you may get a lot more gifts. Instead of pants on cooler days I love putting baby legs (leg warmers) on her- easier changes than pants and so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-clothes-how-many-and-what-kind#post-1080177 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:42:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1080177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, we've had LO in footed sleepers basically her entire 4 weeks of life. I guess it depends on how warm it is there, but we found sleepers were the easiest for diaper changes and avoiding her belly button stump at the beginning. We're starting to put her in outfits, but they end up being a hassle! Oh, and she was in newborn sizes until about 2.5 weeks and is now 9 lbs and in 0-3 month clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-clothes-how-many-and-what-kind#post-1080026 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:08:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 1080026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: The first 6 weeks I literally only had her in white onesies every day. I was too tired to think about how else to dress her and she didn't own anything else. Since then it's been sundresses and summer outfits, many gifts and a lot of hand-me-downs from friends. Definitely get a BUNCH of footed sleepers, we spend some time in the mountains right when she was born and it was colder there, so we kept her in the sleepers all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-clothes-how-many-and-what-kind#post-1080019 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:07:21 +0000 Chillybear 1080019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: thanks.... What did she wear most days? since it was summer did you just have her in onesies all the time? maybe i'll just look for more footed sleepers since by november its bound to be pretty cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-clothes-how-many-and-what-kind#post-1079985 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:01:59 +0000 JoJoGirl 1079985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I'd wait til she gets here, then go shopping. Our 4 month old is already in some 6 month clothing because she's so tall. She also didn't own a single pair of pants (and tons and tons of onesies!) until we went shopping this weekend!</p> <p>ETA: Obviously it's hard to go shopping with a newborn, so maybe just get a few basics now? Long-sleeve onesies and a ton of pants? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-clothes-how-many-and-what-kind#post-1079973 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:00:36 +0000 Chillybear 1079973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had our shower this past weekend and our very generous family and friends did a great job sticking to our registry which mean we got almost everything that we really needed or wanted. </p> <p>The only issue is that we didnt get very many clothes or outfits. We got plain white onesies in 5 packs of each size up to 12 months, a lot of fun, printed onesies and some t shirts and only a handful of "outfits" in various sizes. So i'm afraid my baby girl is mostly without pants..... </p> <p>Experienced moms out there - How much do i still need to buy? What should i be looking for and in what sizes? </p> <p>She's due in October (transitional month for us in Philly) and will start daycare in January. I'm going to guess she'll be close to 8lbs when born, but who knows for sure. </p> <p>What would be appropriate day care clothes for a 3-4 month old in the winter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-848673 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:48:44 +0000 loveisstrange 848673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just pay attention to the name. Some say "Snug Fit" and some dont. The snug fit ones are very lean fitting and the ones that aren't are regular PJs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-848636 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:40:06 +0000 wheres_c 848636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The snug / non flame retardant ones I feel are really small.<br /> They are tight on B - he is about to grow out of 12mo and he is only 6 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-848116 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:42:45 +0000 Beehive 848116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched DS to the 12 month Carter's as the 9 month were getting a little short in the length. They fit him really well - we have the snug jersey style. I'm going to order a bunch more!</p> <p>ETA: I just looked and Carter's has free shipping for 3 days for orders over $50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-848114 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:41:41 +0000 dookie32 848114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the cotton 1-piece ones from Carter's are a bit more snug than some of the others I've bought (I can only buy cotton because of my son's ezcema). I just thought he would be uncomfortable in them because he's big and getting the next size up would have made them too long. I prefer the 1-pieces from Gap or The Children's Place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-847942 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:06:55 +0000 googly-eyes 847942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched to the 2 pc ones around 7 months. Lo is 9 months in a few days and 12 months in Carters sizing. (I always take it to mean 3 months = 0-3, 6 months = 3-6, etc.) We have a couple of 18 month one piece sleepers we are hoping fit when it gets cold again... I think we'll stick with two piece for the summer and then see where we're at in the winter. My mom says my brother and I got to 2t by 1 year old, and then it slowed down a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-847920 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:02:11 +0000 BelugaBean 847920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is big but right now she's in 18 month sleepers from Carter's at almost 11 months old. She's about 23-24 lb and at 9 months she was 29.25 inches long. We switched her to 18 month size around 9 months though because she's so long. One of the sleepers is a little too long but the other two fit her perfectly so I'm not sure what the difference is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-847917 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:01:41 +0000 looch 847917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are two kinds at Carters, the ones that are the snug fit and not flame resistant and the ones that are looser fit and flame resistant. Check below the imprinted label.</p> <p>My son is always ahead in the Carters pjs. He's 2.5 and we just had to go up to 4T because his feet were too big and the collar was down to his belly button (exxagerating, but you get the point). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-847888 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:56:15 +0000 T-Mom 847888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't find that they run crazy small at all. My DS is a small guy, but he is still able to fit into his 12-18 month sleepers (he is 21 months) so I would say they run TTS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-847835 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:46:41 +0000 regberadaisy 847835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has a set of Carters 18m 2 piece pjs. They are "snug" but the fabric is very stretchy so it's not tight.</p> <p>TCP also has footed one piece that I really like for the summer! But they are long sleeved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-cotton-1-piece-pajamas-amp-sizing-for-12-months#post-847823 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:45:24 +0000 CarrieLouWho 847823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has almost outgrown her 9 month sleepers and finding 1-piece sleepers for 12 month plus seems to be hard to find in brick &amp; mortar stores around here. </p> <p>I was going to order some from Carters online, but I wanted to check here first. A couple of the reviews have said that they run crazy small and super snug. I know pjs need to be tight, but I don't want to order a bunch and they not work out. </p> <p>What has been your experience with their pjs for 12 months +? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700476 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:40:56 +0000 immabeetoo 700476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: haha DS as in dear son :) god knows my postpartum lumps and bumps would look awful zipped up in a suit like that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700460 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:34:55 +0000 littlek 700460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel that mini boden runs large. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700431 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:19:40 +0000 luckypenny 700431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: agree. We have 12-18 month swimsuit in babygap and I thought it'd be tight with swim diaper. Hmmm<br /> @scg00387: wow! Thanks for checking that :) I know, I kinda wish they came in my size and I wouldn't look weird. Kids get all the good stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700421 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:14:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 700421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swimwear in general tends to run a bit small in most brands. But generally boden does run a little big... Def bigger than gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700414 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:11:53 +0000 immabeetoo 700414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: holy cow those are cute. There's one in eBay in that size if used doesn't bother you! I was hoping there'd be one in DSs size on eBay no luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700407 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:10:43 +0000 teamjse 700407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It runs big, but Gap runs big on Ds too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700394 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:05:40 +0000 betsyboop 700394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree, their stuff generally runs big but it definitely depends on the item. I think their sizing (for tops, at least) is very similar to babyGap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700383 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:02:11 +0000 Weagle 700383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never bought one of their swimsuits, but their other stuff runs a bit big. Baby Gap is a bit big on my LO too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700378 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:00:15 +0000 banana 700378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the clothing item but I found that most of their stuff runs a little tiny bit big. Their shirts run true to size and their pants/dresses/jackets seem to run a little big. Not sure about swimsuits though. I'd probably go ahead and buy the next size up because of the swim diaper. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-boden-sizing#post-700370 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:57:31 +0000 luckypenny 700370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know how mini/baby Boden runs, lets say compared to babygap? DD wears 12-18 months in babygap but can wear 18 month things too. </p> <p>I want to order this swim outfit (<a href="http://m.bodenusa.com/en-US/Baby-0-3yrs-Swimwear/71271/Baby-0-3yrs-Surf-Suit.html" rel="nofollow">http://m.bodenusa.com/en-US/Baby-0-3yrs-Swimwear/71271/Baby-0-3yrs-Surf-Suit.html</a>) for our beach trip in may but the 12-18 is back ordered. Wondering if I can get away with next size up. I figured a swim diaper might fill up some space? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sizing-growing-or-shrinking#post-650542 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:34:01 +0000 shopaholic 650542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: So I went to Carter's today for their 50% off sale and the SA told me that their NB is basically "preemie" size and fits "up to 5lbs" wth?! </p> <p>I ended up buying some sleepers without feet and a size bigger (though they look huge still!) Will wash and hope they shrink a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sizing-growing-or-shrinking#post-650028 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:47:20 +0000 Boogs 650028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sizing is so off, and Carter's especially runs small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sizing-growing-or-shrinking#post-649801 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:37:43 +0000 anbanan15 649801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Yea I don't get how sizing can be so off among the same brand...between brands I get! The Gymboree thing worked out for my friend though. She was able to use the smaller outfit for several weeks before switching to the other one. </p>
