So, the stuff she did give me, I donated. It looked too worn out to use again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106861 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:41:17 +0000 MsMamaBear 106861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After she was born. We were Team Green, so no bunch of clothes at the shower...which is a good thing now since a lot of her winter clothes she didn't wear since there was't really a winter.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106819 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:06:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 106819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had to buy them right away because she was too small for all the clothes we had (that my mom bought) since she was born early. now i keep buying footed rompers in bigger sizes since those are her pjs.</p> <p>we didn't get any hand-me-downs, so i bought a big bag of used clothes, and now i supplement with one off items that she needs (like a spring jacket). i did buy two dresses recently though because i want to have some cute outfits for birthday parties!</p> <p>overall i have been very good though! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106697 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:06:55 +0000 regberadaisy 106697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have hand me downs but not a ton and not all of them are in the right season. I've already started accumulating clothing, filling in sizes she needs in season. For next year etc. I have been picking stuff up when I see them cheap like under $3-4 each.</p> <p>We actually didn't get a ton of clothing at the shower which I'm glad about. And most of them were NB/0-3/3-6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106686 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:02:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 106686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 34 weeks and just bought her a sleeper and two pairs of leggings.<br /> Most of what we have are hand-me-downs or gifts from showers and we are pretty much set until 9 months.<br /> I just need to buy neutral pieces to put outfits togehter, like black/gray leggings, and white/black sweaters. So much of what she has is bright colored and patterned, it needs to be toned down for my taste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106667 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:45:23 +0000 Andrea 106667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: my mom still buys the LO clothes at the start of a new season. the LO needs a ton of clothes for daycare, though, so I still have to buy a lot. my MIL will randomly get us stuff for a 4 or 5 year old. very strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106598 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:52:09 +0000 heffalump 106598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: My mom always buys a lot of bigger clothes. She comes home from vacations with gifts that are for LO in toddler sizes. Which she'll probably actually fit into soon.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106596 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:50:38 +0000 Pipers Mommy 106596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought right away, we were team green, so I didn't receive any clothes for my shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106592 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:47:53 +0000 Rubies 106592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had to buy most of her clothes - we don't have any friends to receive hand-me-downs from! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106587 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:46:47 +0000 Andrea 106587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: newborn/baby was pretty good, i still got a bunch of stuff without the shower but those clothes only lasted so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106583 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:45:40 +0000 heffalump 106583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: They were mostly shower gifts, I know you didn't want a shower. People love shopping for little girls :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106581 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:44:14 +0000 chopsuey 106581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started buying clothes for her when she was 3 months old! My mom shops for her all the time too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106569 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:36:29 +0000 Andrea 106569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From before she was born. I am not lucky enough to get a sufficient amount of hand me downs/gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106567 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:35:24 +0000 autumnlove 106567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started buying them before she was born and I still do! We received a lot of larger sizes (12,, 18, 24 months) as gifts so I don't need to buy much then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-your-lo-clothes#post-106549 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:29:05 +0000 heffalump 106549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far all I've bought LO are her PJ's. Everything else is either hand me downs or gifts. I'm not expecting to have to buy her anything until after her first birthday, and even then she'll probably get lots of clothes as a gift for her birthday. </p>
