For the first month she wore the kimono tops. We started off with not too many because we were team green but by the time we left the hospital we had more than enough.<br /> I think the rule of thumb with a newborn is one more layer then you because they can't regulate their temp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509937 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:42:37 +0000 HabesBabe 1509937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was born in July 2 years ago and we spent most of the summer in onesies and the occasional sleeveless romper. No pants, no shorts, no bottoms at all, really. Considering it's 90ish during the day in SoCal and you have to go through so many diaper changes those first few months, bottoms would've gotten in the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509881 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:34:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1509881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C just wore onesies 90 percent of the time. Even with the ac on at home, she was usually swaddled, and I liked being able to check her diaper easily. </p> <p>She was over 8 pounds at birth but somehow still just a peanut so her 0-3 stuff was big for a long time. Gerber 0-3 onesies were the best bc they were bigger than nb, but still smaller than any other brand 0-3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509788 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:15:38 +0000 Kimberlybee 1509788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was born in May and wore lots of onesies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509778 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:13:39 +0000 meganmp 1509778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a ton of rompers! They're SO cute (both DS and DD wore 'em). Cloth diapers definitly add bulk, though. Don't buy a ton of anything, that's for sure, as you never know how things will fit and what you'll like- I planned on CDing from the beginning, but they both had chicken legs and the CDs didn't fit at all for quite a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509730 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:52:49 +0000 MrsH 1509730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: then lots! I bet we have a dozen sleepers and still do laundry twice a week if not more. We only have like six pairs of pants, those don't get dirty as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509727 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:51:32 +0000 Mrs. M 1509727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth diapering definitely makes babies fill out their clothes more! Our little one has always been on the long and lean side so it hasn't been a huge deal. We didn't start using cloth until she was 2- months old though, so I'm not sure how it is with newborn clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509724 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:51:20 +0000 spaniellove 1509724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Oh easy - NEVER. I hate laundry with a passion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509714 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:49:48 +0000 MrsH 1509714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: we've been homebodies because LO hasn't had her first set of shots yet. The Pediatrician recommended not to bring her out where people might touch her until her shots :)</p> <p>And the answer to the second question is how often do you want to do laundry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509706 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:47:56 +0000 spaniellove 1509706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, another question...how many pairs of pants do you need? And how many sleepers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509703 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:47:24 +0000 spaniellove 1509703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Clearly I"m overestimating how much we'll be leaving the home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509687 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:40:58 +0000 MrsH 1509687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we have the a/c on a lot well still use things with pants :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509684 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:40:38 +0000 preggomeggo82 1509684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is due in about a month, but I envision lots of onesies in our future this summer. I have some rompers and a couple of outfits with shorts, but mostly I think one-piece things seem easiest and most comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509681 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:39:42 +0000 spaniellove 1509681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Naked is cool too :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509679 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:39:00 +0000 blackbird 1509679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine hardly wore clothes all summer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-how-to-dress-a-summer-baby#post-1509676 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:38:27 +0000 spaniellove 1509676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anything about dressing babies. :sad: But I can tell you that I have wayyyy too many NB onesies! Guessing from our many growth u/s where baby has been hovering around the 15th percentile (and has shorter legs), he might be wearing NB for a while? </p> <p>Do boys wear cotton rompers in the summer? I'm wondering if I should get a few of those so I won't have to deal with onesies/pants when we go out....</p> <p>(And does CDing affect the size they wear? Sometimes I look at these clothes and wonder how the heck a chunky CD butt is going to fit!) </p>
