It was winter, and I wasn't interested in wrestling a lot of clothing for frequent diaper changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412896 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 20:40:05 +0000 Weagle 412896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabolt: LO only wore the gowns if my mom or I dressed her.

He didn't even wear pants. We almost always had him swaddled though, and it was August, so it was hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412861 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 20:06:12 +0000 mamabolt 412861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO lived in sleepers the first few weeks.

When we're home, we are just using a diaper and keeping him swaddled in a Halo sleep sack - it's been snowing, and he's super happy to be wrapped up tightly. He's also worn a hat almost 24/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412753 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 18:01:39 +0000 junebugmama 412753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wore onesies, but was dressed everyday with pants/shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412749 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 17:54:41 +0000 hilsy85 412749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleepers or long sleeved onesies and leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412745 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 17:50:14 +0000 matador84 412745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gowns and side snap shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412730 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 17:34:03 +0000 sunny 412730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleepers!

The shirts are also good because you sont have to pull it over their wobbly heads. Gowns are great too, in general...easy diaper changes. Carters sells these convertible gowns that can turn into a footie without the feet that I love...but they only sell them as part of a set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412639 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 15:25:15 +0000 Weagle 412639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wore sleepers or convertible gowns. They seemed less irritating than pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-clothes-the-first-few-weeks#post-412635 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 15:20:19 +0000 boiledpnut 412635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kinds of clothes did you dress your newborn in the first few weeks (until the umbilical stump fell off really)? Are one piece sleepers and onesies ok? </p>
