soo excited for u!!! hehe LO#1 was in sleepers/onesies the first couple months of her life. it was also winter tho (well.. california winter ). if she was born in summer i would probably do rompers and onesies. in the beginning carters clothes were great. it was hard to spend money on more expensive clothes since she outgrew them so fast! but once she got older i started shopping at old navy and gap more. she usually has a couple nice gap outfits in her size, but on a day to day basis will usually just wear old navy or target.

as far as headbands - start them young! actually i don't know if this goes for all babies, but she never had an issue with headbands until about a year old and i think its bc she wore them alot as a baby. i'm really into bow and knot headbands. so i've gotten some of these :

i got some headbands from zuzii too! so soft!

LO was a summer baby, so she lived in onesies and sleepers for the first 3 months or so. My best advice has already been shared, but I will second these tips:

-Buy patterns when you can. Every brand has its own version of "pink", so it is hard to mix and match solids. I usually try to buy patterned tops/dresses and solid leggings.

-I prefer leggings over pants. Leggings can be worn as pants, as well as under dresses, so more versatile.

-I always put a short-sleeved onesie under dresses or tunics (or tops that are open on the bottom). Dresses ride up constantly to expose bare tummies, and I always take dresses off for naps anyway (probably a bit paranoid, but I don't want LO to suffocate herself.

(ETA: Actually, now that it is cold, I just put long-sleeved onesies under her short-sleeved dresses to get more use out of them. It looks super cute!)

-I love love love LO's crocheted headbands. We just clip in a bow to match whatever she is wearing, and they stay put fairly well. Even with hair, LO cannot wear just a bow. Even with anti-slip stuff glued on the inside. Baby hair is just too fine.

Congrats on the girl. They are so much fun!

SO SO excited for you! Congrats! You're girl is going to be gorgeous!!! Agree w/PP about Carter's sleep n plays for the first few months. Heck, some of the pjs are so cute - I wish she could wear them out more often!

Fore newborn, I loved the Carter's headbands - the elastic is so soft and doesn't leave marks like a lot of other headbands. I also loved Pickled Peanut ones from Etsy!
