I started shopping around 22 weeks. I would suggest not buying too much because newborns don't need to have the latest fashions. ^_^<br /> I got so many clothes at my baby shower! My daughter didn't even fit into the 0-3 months clothes until she was 3 months.<br /> I did buy the crib, stroller system, breast pumps, etc. all before I was in my third trimester though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-20416 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:31:46 +0000 Mrsbells 20416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and havent bought anything. I find out the gender tomorow! We plan to first buy big ticket items such as our stash of cloth diapers and cloth diaper supplies, crib, dresser, carrier... etc I think I will leave clothes shopping till later on when the gender of the baby has been confirmed by another ultrasound! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-20408 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:26:23 +0000 babyz 20408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've start browsing but I've resisted buying only because I know it'll just sit there for many months. I also anticipate we'll be getting a lot of clothes so I don't want to end up with too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-20253 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:49:38 +0000 themcmom 20253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buy when you find good deals. You found good deals, so buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-19578 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:44:42 +0000 mediagirl 19578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's odd at all! You want to buy some stuff for this baby that is growing in you. People just don't understand when they're saying something that just sounds ridiculous to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-19509 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:13:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 19509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it is weird. I'll probably run out and buy something gender neutral the minute I get a BFP because it feels like I've been waiting forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-19465 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:19:01 +0000 BabyLove 19465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's odd to buy some stuff early. I enjoyed doing it. But, I enjoy buying clothes for her more now that she's here. It's just so fun. Also, my LO is tall and lean so the clothes I've had to exchange the clothes I've gotten her to get age/seasonal approrpriate stuff. So be sure to also save some money for when he's here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18430 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:38:37 +0000 Navy_Mommy 18430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also got a pack of 5 pants (a "grow with me" pack so there's 1 newborn size, 2 0-3 months, and 2 3-6 months) for $3!!!! Who can say no to that??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18406 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 10:32:51 +0000 loveisstrange 18406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started right after we found out the gender. Most of what I have so far is second-hand or was given to me.</p> <p>I don't like most neutral clothes, so I waited until we found out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18382 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:50:26 +0000 cyneswith 18382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was given my first round of baby clothes when I was about 15 or so. I have a couple of nephews/nieces who outgrow clothes faster than I can send them, so I have some baby/toddler clothes that way. I also experiment with sewing on baby clothes, so I got some for sizing (I RARELY used patterns.) Shopping at 20 weeks? Pffffffft. Nothing weird about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18370 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:32:55 +0000 heffalump 18370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't let people make you feel bad for being a smart shopper! If you put it all off till the end, you'll be spending a lot of cash all at once. Now that would suck!</p> <p>Although I would say you may not want to buy too many baby clothes if you're having a shower. We didn't have to buy anything since people go baby clothes crazy at those things. I do see how you can't turn down such cute pj's that your hubby will love though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18315 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 05:02:42 +0000 looch 18315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is never the wrong time to shop! I love a deal, and pretty much shop all of the time, I just have stopped buying a lot of seasonal baby clothes ahead because I have found such disparities in sizing across brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18096 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:07:15 +0000 junebugmama 18096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought anything yet, but I could see starting at around 5 months. There's so much money to spend on baby it's better to start early and spread it out a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18081 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:41:57 +0000 lavender 18081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started browsing along and most likely pick some things up in the next few weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18078 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:38:25 +0000 MegWag 18078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's weird either! I feel slightly strange that I'm now 24 weeks and we haven't bough A SINGLE THING yet. I mean there's plenty of time so I'm not really worried, but I think we're strange that we haven't bought anything yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18072 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:11:45 +0000 Rescuemom10 18072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, apparently I cant type today. Too many "as well" in that sentsence. TGIF! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18071 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:10:25 +0000 Rescuemom10 18071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think its odd at all. I think its smart. Like you said, your getting a head start. Most people I know start buying right after they know what they are having. Even some get cute "nuetral" things before they know. I know for me I would be as well as soon as I find out as well! Glad you got some good deals on some cute stuff! I am sure it felt pretty exciting for you as well! ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-baby-clothes#post-18064 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:58:55 +0000 Navy_Mommy 18064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I went to Marshall's today for the first time since finding out we're having a boy so I actually spent a decent amount of time in the baby clothes section and I ended up buying a few things, half of which were on Clearance so I got an incredible price on it.</p> <p>When I was checking out the cashier made the comment, "getting a head start, huh?" And I just kinda chuckled in response.</p> <p>Is buying baby clothes at 20 weeks really that odd? Like I'm not HUGE yet, but I'm finally at a point where people would for sure know I was pregnant when they see me buying baby clothes!</p> <p>Regardless - I got the cutest (size 3 month) pajamas that have a guitar on the chest and says, "Rockstar." Hubby is gonna love it since he plays guitar and was in a band (like actually paying his bills by being in a band, though not famous by any means) before joining the Navy. I'm pumped. </p>
