The hospital nurses put everything I brought on! (and were disappointed that I didn't have any gloves for him!!!) And yes, it was 90 degrees outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159551 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:10:15 +0000 Honeybee 159551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was born in June, but it was still snowing here. We brought her home in a short-sleeve onesie and pants outfit, but I piled two blankets on top of her, too, because it was still cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159531 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:49:07 +0000 MamaG 159531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mid-August baby here (TX) where we had record heat... she came home in a onesie and seersucker short overalls. No blanket and no hat to cover her with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159504 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:21:34 +0000 Mrs. Train 159504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My twins were born in the end of July and I live in southern California. It was crazy hot. My boys came home in short sleeved indies with short overall cotton bottoms. I had blankets but did not use them. It was near 100 degrees so shorts and short sleeves were fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159430 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:15:37 +0000 MsMamaBear 159430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born Sept 1st, still hot as all get out here, so she wore a long sleeved onesie with a receiving blanket over her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159386 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:57:42 +0000 kiddosc 159386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby will be here sometime in the next week and I have a longsleeved sleeper with feet, a hat and a receiving blanket packed for him. It's already up around the 90s here and DH LOVES his a/c so I want to make sure LO will be plenty warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159315 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:27:01 +0000 chopsuey 159315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring her home in a long sleeved onesie, pants, and socks! You'll probably have the a/c running in the car and it'll be cool in the hospital too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159310 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:25:03 +0000 Andrea 159310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: woohoo, can't wait for little mediagirl!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159304 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:20:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 159304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: heehee! get packin', girl!!! ;) I cannot WAIT to see those "here we go!" posts from you!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159298 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:16:23 +0000 mediagirl 159298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: packing the baby bag. I still haven't allowed it to sink in that this is happening yet so, my bag is not yet packed. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159295 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:14:07 +0000 Pipers Mommy 159295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a personalized diaper cover and a little pillowcase dress made on etsy for her. She wore a little hat and I had a receiving blanket just in case, it was the end of July (hot and humid!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159285 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:10:48 +0000 Andrea 159285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since she is a newborn, I think you'll still want to keep her warm-ish. I think a long sleeved onesie, pants, socks, and a hat would be good. You can have a light blanket handy, too. Hehe, I see you are getting ready!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159284 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:09:40 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 159284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Short-sleeve onesie, cotton pants with feet, and a muslin AA blanket. For what it's worth, he spent most of his first few months in just a onesie with a muslin blanket if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159272 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:02:26 +0000 mediagirl 159272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I have no idea what you are talking about.</p> <p>:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159243 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:43:46 +0000 plantains 159243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am wondering the same thing! I want to buy wash and pack the coming home outfit but I have absolutely no idea what to get because LO is due June 14th. Winter would be so much easier to figure out :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159239 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:42:23 +0000 Rubies 159239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born on August 1st and it was super hot...She came home in a one-piece long-sleeved-with-feet onesie, with 2 receiving blankets on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159238 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:40:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 159238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe... I love love love all your VERY SPECIFIC questions about labor/delivery/coming home as you get so close to THE TIME!!! :D</p> <p>Wagon Jr. came home in a newborn sized carter's layette outfit: short sleeved onesie, footed pants, button down cardigan, and hat.</p> <p>ETA: Uhh... he was a dead of winter baby. Sorry!! :) For this baby (July) I will be packing a short sleeved onesie and pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159217 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:30:19 +0000 heffalump 159217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was in a onesie that buttons in the front, mittens (the only time she ever wore them), a hat, and socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-moms-what-did-your-newborn-come-home-in#post-159213 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:28:57 +0000 mediagirl 159213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have lots of clothes for our lo but I know since it will be June when she gets here that it's going to be hot outside! We have a/c in the car but sometimes it just can't keep up with the southern heat. </p> <p>If your lo was born in the summer, what did you dress them in to come home - a long sleeved, long pants outfit, a long sleeved onesie or a short sleeved outfit with no pants - or something else? </p>
