hmmm…not sure this is enough…moms??
i took stock this morning. so far, for this baby, i have:
0-3 months (i think i need more sleepers. babies that age go through at LEAST 2-3 outfits a day, right??)
hats 3
shoes 1
pants 6
1 hungry caterpillar set of 2 onesies and 1 pant (but it really doesn’t look like 0-3 to me so might not work. it’s SO cute and i wanted it to be a coming home outfit but oh well!)
2 gowns (you know, those sleepers that don’t have legs but are open at the bottom? i tried to find a pic of Beau in one but couldn’t find it!)
sleepers 4
onesies/tops 9
sweaters 2
3-6 months
hats 3
pants/bottoms 4
overalls (not really what they’re called but whatev-pants with bib tops) 3
sleepers 4
tops/onesies 11
sweaters 3
6 and 6-9 month
pants/bottoms 1
sleepers 8
overalls 1
tops/onesies 10
sweater 1
9 months
sleeper 1
pants 1
shorts outfit (2 tops, 1 shorts) 1
1 pc shorts 2
tops 3
12 months
sweater 1
tops 2
sleeper 1
18 months
vest 1
tops 2
bottom 1
hat 1
and i have a few toddler things
what do you think, moms?? i don’t think the 0-3 and 3-6 stuff is going to get us far TTYTT.
i think i need:
pants to match a top i got (0-3)
socks
sleepers 0-3/3-6
snowsuit (might have to do that later unless i see something at yard sales sat. bc i don’t know what size the baby will be in winter)
blanket (every baby needs their very own, even though we have tons)
i hit a good yard sale on the weekend and filled a bag for $5 but wish they’d had more 0-3/3-6. much of their stuff was STAINED though (it’s too bad bc they had CUTE stuff and piles of it); i hope from spit-up and not bc they were feeding baby food to a newborn. eep. i bought soothers and a few more cloth diapers and more leggings (babyleg type) and a playpen. we have a bouncy/vibrating chair and a friend is selling me her swing and another is giving us her car seat when she’s done with it (ours expired.) i don’t reallly have a diaper bag but they’re so expensive! i have bags around but i have to carry a few things for Beau AND baby come September so i might need another diaper bag. i have a Mei Tai too so we’re good to go there. i hope the baby can ride in my jogging stroller. it’s not really set up for a newborn so might have to wait to use it. a good small/umbrella stroller would be nice.

RYN: I find that Rowan nurses every 3hrs or so (and cluster feeds every 2.5-2hrs after dinner) so I kmow where you’re coming from! Rowan ended up being smaller than we expected and was in the smallest newborn clothing for the first month (same 4-5 jumpsuits!) until he grew into his 0-3mth sizes. And now he won’t stop growing! 😛

I don’t know anything about this stuff. But I figured you definitely would since you’ve already had 2 kids. Heehee. 😉

A snowsuit depending on what the weather is like in your area around the time the baby will be doing that initial growth in the first months. I just know quite a bit of the year it’s cooler there and a outfit like that comes in handy..I don’t think it’s called a snowsuit for a baby that young though but I can’t remember what’s called…

LOL I should have read the I think I need before adding my note!

I’d say hold off on buying too much 3-6 month stuff – pace yourself, because while Brooke was always on target age-to-clothes, Evan was all over the map – So summer stuff we bought in advance fit him in February, not June and by the time he was 12 months old, he was wearing 24 month stuff. (And has been now for 2 years!)

I guess the number of clothing changes depends on if babies spit up or have diaper blow outs? Taelyn rarely spit up so most days we only needed 1 outfit.

I liked using a backpack instead of a diaper bag. Might give you more mobility / hands-free without worrying about it swinging around and whacking someone, since you’ll likely be holding the baby/carseat with one hand and Beau with the other!!
