The sale made it totally worth it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065915 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:46:03 +0000 ValentineMommy 2065915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Carters FTW! I went yesterday and bought a ton with that big sale, plus a coupon. I couldn't resist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065897 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:41:04 +0000 danda 2065897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a combination of long sleeves and short sleeves while indoors, and short sleeves when going outdoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065851 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:27:01 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2065851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering this as well! I just bought a bunch of stuff on Carter's website yesterday, couldn't resist. Most were shorts and t shirt outfits with a hoodie. I heard that the baby needs one more layer than what you have on. So if we're just in shorts and a tee, maybe he needs a light blanket or hoodie? </p> <p>I really don't know...lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065622 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 07:24:38 +0000 blackbird 2065622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: yeah plus she had reflux and I got tired of all the barf on everything!! Made the laundry load light and changing a breeze without clothes haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065617 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 07:22:39 +0000 dc yoga bee 2065617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this. I was born in June, and my mom said I was in a diaper or a onesie. I'm having a baby in June, and plan to have her in onesies, and will pick up a few long sleeve sleepers. My mom told me she probably won't need to be super bundled in the dead of summer. We also live in a warm climate :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065609 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 07:13:35 +0000 ValentineMommy 2065609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! We have tons of long sleeved stuff, including the one piece pjs and yesterday I went out and bought a few short sleeved bodysuit sets, shorts, and a few rompers. Thanks for all the recommendations!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065113 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:17:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2065113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same problem (summer baby then winter baby). We really needed some new pieces, but not everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065103 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:07:26 +0000 blackbird 2065103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly......E was born in April and during June, July, and August, wore a diaper or a onesie most of the time. Hell, it was 75 inside most days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2065006 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:09:29 +0000 spaniellove 2065006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J was born at the beginning of June and wore cotton rompers when we went out and footed sleepers or long-sleeved onesies at home. I always thought he was more comfortable covered up inside! And you know we're in the same climate. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064583 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:03:24 +0000 sarac 2064583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's truly hot, then just a onsie or a romper, or maybe just a diaper if it's miserable. My baby is also due in July, and I plan to have onsies, light jammies, and light pants ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064521 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:42:59 +0000 nana87 2064521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of last summer LO just wore a t shirt under a swaddle sack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064496 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:37:06 +0000 HLK208 2064496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the really hot days, just a short sleeved onesie. On mild days, a romper or a long sleeve onesie and pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064417 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:14:32 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2064417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rompers and short sleeved onesies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064324 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:39:01 +0000 MrsB2012 2064324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, my first was born at the end of July and my second was due in Feb. I wasn't sure what to buy either and was wondering if I could just layer extra things to keep her warmer in the winter. I ended up buying a bunch of fleece onsies for night time and some new nb pants and long sleeved onsies. I would imagine you could do the opposite, just buy a few short sleeved onsies and maybe lighter cotton pj's if you use those. I know I usually had a sweater over B's short sleeved onsies in the summer as most places have the AC blasting.. so long sleeved ones should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064243 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:11:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 2064243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an October baby and having a March baby this round, I think my 0-3 stuff will be okay (short sleeves, cotton pants, some dresses, ect.) but then I'll have to get more rompers, shorts, ect. so she's comfortable in the summer heat.</p> <p>Edit: I totally struggle with this too, I haven't bought any clothes because I'm waiting until she's here to know her size. I don't' know why but last time I went crazy, this time I'm like "no don't'buy a thing until we know what her body is like!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064233 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:09:36 +0000 Mamasig 2064233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long sleeve and pants were fine when we were at home. But when we went out, I put him in short sleeve onesies and rompers. He was born in May and it was way too hot! Plus, he'd get even warmer in his car seat. I would bring a blanket to drape over him if we went somewhere that was cooler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064222 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:04:19 +0000 autumnlove 2064222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a lot of Carter's rompers for my late April baby. Most of LO's handmedowns in her size were long sleeved outfits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064212 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:58:05 +0000 Smurfette 2064212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are inside with the AC, I would think long sleeves are fine. But I wouldn't take a baby outside in the summer here in pants and long sleeves. Esp. the sweating in the car seat being RF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064211 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:58:01 +0000 sera_87 2064211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously I just got footed (cotton) sleepers because putting anything over a newborns head still freaks me out. And zippered sleepers = easy on the frequent diaper changes in the early days. </p> <p>They can also just hang out in their diaper at home if it gets super hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-a-nb-in-summer-2-dss-2-diff-seasons#post-2064190 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:50:51 +0000 ValentineMommy 2064190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having a second boy in a completely different season and I'm unsure how to proceed as far as buying clothes. DS1 was born in Feb, so all his little clothes are long sleeves and long pants and very, well, wintery. DS2 is due the end of July. My mom insists that we won't need clothes in the beginning, since newborns need to be bundled up. I never really thought about it, as DS1 was always bundled up anyway since it was freezing out. I was going to get him summery short sleeve/pant rompers and stuff in 0-3m, but now I'm wondering if she's right?</p> <p>What do you think? Would a newborn be fine in the summer in long sleeves/pants? I really would prefer the rompers and swaddle blankets, but I don't want him to be uncomfortable either.....We're in the northeast (nj), so it will definitely be hot.</p> <p>I feel like I shouldn't be this confused, but I am lol </p>
