baby due August.... Clothes help

[Mum2Romone]

hi ladies

our second baby is due in August , second week... And I was wondering how long your little ones stayed in winter clothes ?

I will obviously dress them in baby jumpsuits and such until they are a few weeks old but DS was born in November and by December he as in singlets and singlet jumpsuits as it was so hot....

we will be finding out the sex so we aren't exactly shopping yet but I can't remember, how long DS was comfortable in the suits before he wore normal clothes IYKWIM?

any help would be great,

I have not used clothes much until about 3 or 4 months as I loved the look of jumpsuits and wanted a baby baby stage to last as long as possible!!

Sorry if no help

I would say you'll still have quiet a few months of cold weather if last year was anything to go by, took forever to warm up!

If it helps.. DD was born 22nd October and was in winter clothes on and off for a few weeks. Obviously its going to be different, depending where u live.

Feeb - I was like you. I love the 'baby' baby look

My daughter was born in July and was comfortable in bodysuits and a blanket I think until late October, early November.

Well I have been through alot of the clothes i have already accumulated... and have plenty to work with

I need to buy the wondersuits though in Newborn ( Ds was 0000 at birth) how many do you think i should have altogether? I remember changing DS quite alot because of milk messes or nappy changes ... in the beginning.

Also how many of each size do you have? or had?

I remember how quickly they grow but what would be a good number, i hate needing to go shopping when suddenly they go up a size

Also did your bub wear hats in winter?
Do they need to wear two layers also? I think we did this for a few cold nights etc....

We had 8 Wondersuits for DD in 0000. She was born 5 Sept and was a tiny 2962g and wearing 00000 and some premmie clothes in other brands. They lasted her quite a while and I found 8 perfect as we often changed her 3-4 times a day (I do washing every second day). They were 'well loved' I bought around 8 again in 000. We are in WA so she was in lighter clothes during the day by mid November but still wearing the suits at night.

HTH!
