I'd get 2 outfits/day for a week. I don't like doing laundry too often And depending on the season, you may need to layer too.

My LO was born 6 lb 4 oz and was 5 13 when we were discharged. She was teeny for a couple weeks but packed on weight during weeks 3 & 4. She fit in newborn for about 4-5 weeks although she can still wear some newborn pants at 7 weeks lol!

I had a ton of NB clothes but she really only wore the same rotation of 5-7 sleepers.

@BabyPenguinXO: carters tend to be long and skinny....lo wore carters newborn for 3 months. He was born at 5'9 and 18 inches. We has some preemie but mostly got by with newborn. Avoid circo and gerber...they tend to be short and wide. Like @spaniellove: we also used preemie diapers. They are insanely expensive but he didn't fit in nb for a couple weeks.

Take as many premie diapers as they will let you at the hospital. Ask every new nurse you see and ferret them away.

DS was 6'15 but got down to 6 bc of various issues. We got by on 4 NB sleepers and a few smaller fitting 0-3 (Cotton On and Old Navy) for 6 weeks, maybe 7. But we really didn't dress him in anything but sleepers for months. His street clothes collection didn't start until 3 months and we are now at 6 months dressing him more normally, but then DS doesn't go to daycare. Children's Place stuff runs long and narrow which works for our son.
