    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....

    I had a 2nd to 3rd week of August baby (17th) and she was in winter clothes for several months. She definitely needed 2 layers too.

    To start with i would get 4 to 6 x 0000 suits and 4 to 6 x 000 suits. You can always go and buy some more if need be

    Summer was born in October & didn't have to wear too much through the days, but nights were still pretty cold.
    I'd plan on it being about as cold as it is now, since it'll be the other side of winter (& I dunno about you, but I'm bloody freezing on our sunny coast!!)
    I'd get the 4 - 6 0000's, but more 000's. Bubs will be in the tripples longer. Summer didn't move up to 00's til she was between 6 & 7 months, so even a big baby would be in the 000's for 3 or 4 months I'm thinking
