People will buy you things and it's hard to know how fast or slow your baby will grow, which might affect what season you are buying for. I'd say as long as you are covered in the 0-3 month clothes, you can hold off and decide how much and what you like as time goes on.

I say eh on the 'outfits'. I didn't do any of that for months, personally. Depending on when you deliver, I'd just stock up on footed sleepers and onesies and call it good. Hats and a winter warmth thing if it'll be cold. Besides that, everything else is kind of bonus.

We have about 5-6 sleepers we use in regular rotation (size NB, LO is 3 weeks). I have another 5 but we just don't use them (hand me down from a friend and they're footless).

I actually did go out and buy a 4-pack onesies from Carter's and some stretchy pants in nb size because I didn't want to bring her out in pajamas. We go out almost every day for fresh air and to get out of the house.

Socks..I cycle through the same 3 pairs because the little ones don't stay on her. I put old navy 0-6 on (huge) and they stay on because they look like knee socks.

I have a million hats but only use about 3-4 in rotation. Cotton caps.

I love the zippered style sleepers vs buttons/snaps. Wayyyy easier to deal with. We have about 6-7 I think.

@Arden: AHH omg that's AWESOME!! I love it and I'm totally curious and want to know :):):) hahaha!!!

I would say mostly sleepers in NB/0-3 mos, with just 1-3 outfits in NB size. You are pretty small, so I would *guess* that your baby will be small. My son was in NB for 10 weeks, and 0-3 months for about 4 months. I was a little disappointed I didn't have more in those sizes. However, he's been in 3-6 months for about 6 months and just grew into 6 months (he is 8 months old). He's a little on the small side, but more "average" now.
This would be my minimal list - given that you could
NB: 5-8 sleepers - they go through these quickly! I did laundry every day, 1-2 outfits
0-3: 5 layering onesies, 5 sleepers, 5 pants, 5 tops/bodysuits
3-6: 5 sleepers, more outfits than previous sizes: 5-10 pants, 5-10 tops
6-9/9-12: same as above
Once at 12 months they will be in that size for up to a year, so you may need more items.

I think youve got enough onesies for sure. you may want to add 5 or so pairs of pants to your list. Our guy is 3 weeks & he goes through like 3 sleepers a night! He constantly wets through his diapers, no matter what we do. Luckily for us we dont have to do laundry too much because we've got A LOT of clothes, but they were all gifts/hand me downs.

We do sleepers & swaddle at night and then a onesie/pants combo during the day. We don't have any real "outfits" (I think just one?) and he almost never wears a hat. As for socks, we've got maybe 6-8 pairs & never run out. DH tucks the pants into the socks & they never fall off (even though DS looks funny).

I had about 10 long sleeved footed pjs in size nb. That was plenty even with the frequent spit ups and blowouts. She spent most of her first month in the footed pjs. I found that having a couple short sleeved onesies, 3 pairs of pants, and a couple jackets were enough for us. We had tons of hats, socks and mittens but didn't end up using them.

We kept it similar for size 0-3 but added a couple more pants so she could wear them with long or short sleeved onesies. She had a couple dresses too but mostly wore onesie + pants when we took her out.
