I live in the south and I told people not to bother with newborn clothes bc my baby will prob just be naked (besides a diaper). I am interested to see what kind of responses you get.

(I have been gifted one outfit so far--a newborn winter sleeper. haha)

My daughter was born in late June last year! We mainly did short sleeved onesies, leggings, and socks. Sometimes just a onesie and socks at home but definitely added leggings if we went out anywhere. I never used long-sleeves or footed PJs for sleeping. Rompers and outfits were cute, but I rarely used them for her and wish I hadn't even bought that kind of stuff or kept any from showers. She just looked silly in outfits as a newborn!

I'd say for 0-3 months to have 10 or so short sleeved onesies, 3-6 leggings, a few pairs of socks. It just depends on how often you do laundry (or want to do laundry, ha!). For NB sizes, I'd maybe do 2-4 onesies, 2-3 leggings to start because you never know how long they will be in NB.

I live in the South and had an August baby. Aside from not getting jackets, etc, I bought the standard stuff. I actually think it's a little cooler (at least in the South) during the summer when you are indoors. We had the AC going and if anything I worried about him getting a chill, not overheating. Baby is supposed to wear what you are comfortable in + one layer. I didn't need long-sleeved onesies or anything, but he definitely wore sleepers and even pants.

ETA: He did run hot at night, though, so he just slept in a short sleeved onesie + swaddle.

My DDs (early May and late June) mostly wore short sleeve onesies or little rompers (basically like a onesie with little shorts legs attached) when I wanted them to be more "dressed up". At night (or if we were going somewhere cold) they just wore long sleeve/long leg pajamas.

For my first daughter, I had a lot of little dress/diaper cover outfits, but I realized that until a child can sit up on their own, dresses tend to just look rumpled and scrunched up. They aren't (in my opinion) very cute on - I had way too many and never put them on her.

I had a June newborn and she wore a lot of short sleeve and sleeveless onesies, little dresses (just basic cotton types, nothing fancy!) and rompers. I don't think we had any shots and she didn't wear pants too often. Mostly just chilled in a onesie!

I love the thin Gerber sleep and plays for summer. Also short sleeve onsies are a must have.

With first LO I did cute pants and onesies but on the really hot days it was just a diaper.

Also having a May baby this year and will likely do the same

I love one piece rompers.

My baby was born in October, but it was pretty warm so she wore a lot of short-sleeved onesies and dresses with the onesie attached.

Lots of rompers/sun suits, and lots of sundresses. I like my girls to be dressed nicely most days, even if we're not going anywhere special, so I never got on board with the 'just a onesie' trend. There are so many cute rompers and sun suits out there that function exactly the same as a onesie that it wasn't hard to find things.

DD1 and DD2 were both born in Australia where it gets pretty darn hot so all of their baby clothes are pretty much nothing but clothing for 85 degrees and warmer!

I had two June babies. In size newborn I had 3 gowns, 5-10 kimono shirts, 3-6 onesies, 2 pants, 2 light long sleeve pjs (I like separates better until the bellybutton heals), and socks.
Then in sizes 3-6 I did mostly rompers or bubbles. Cute and easy!
What you need also depends on how much time you spend in the AC!

I had an august baby, and she also ran hot. We did a lot of shortsleeve and sleeveless onesies and rompers. We had a couple pairs of newborn sized footed pants that I put her in when we were going somewhere with ac, or in the evening. I didn't want to bother with socks. We had one pair of 0-3 shorts, and it was nice to have them when I wanted to dress her nice for family get togethers. She also had a couple of blousy shirts for dressing her up.

I do recommend shorts because it can help contain blowouts! In the summer my kids just usually wear a t shirt or a onesie. Gosh that makes me miss summer!
