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>
