We had onesies and sleepers ready in gender neutral styles. We also had a few neutral pieces from various layette collections, heavy on mint, white, aqua, etc. We received SO MANY girls outfits when she was born though. Those got us through 0-3 comfortably and gave us a solid base for 3-6 too.

We had a few neutral outfits, but most of our family and friends held out until we gave birth and we were inundated with pink. Which was half the reason we were Team Green to start with - I like girls clothes but I am not a fan of pink.

I was TG for #2 and had enough neutrals on hand for the first few weeks. I knew we could buy extras easily, living in NYC where it's super easy to pick something up in the neighborhood without having to worry about driving with a newborn.

Turned out she was a girl, so she just used Big Sis's old clothes. But yeah, I still put her in the neutral stuff I bought in the beginning.... Til she outgrew them.

If she were a boy, I'd have likely started shopping for new clothes as soon as I felt they'd be needed.

@Elderberrygin: did you keep and use all the pink stuff or return/ donate?

I agree that everyone else went crazy and brought over lots of pink stuff!

We had only white onesies and gender-neutral sleepers. People went NUTS buying girly clothes once LO was born, so I wouldn't worry about it. I also didn't put her in any clothes other than onesies until she was like 6 weeks old (I was too tired I think) so it really didn't matter

We had a ton of neutrals in NB and 0-3 from my showers and some hand-me-downs. She wore those all the time and we rotated in some pink that we bought once we knew she was a girl (sent my mum out to get some "girl" clothes).

We have gotten a lot of girl-clothing gifts and hand-me-downs, but for some reason I always end up buying sleepers in the boys' section. I just think they are cuter.

We had gender neutral stuff and after DD was born everyone who brought us dinner also brought us a girly outfit as well as family sending stuff from afar.
