I have a Feb bub and you really don't need a lot of clothes for them. Unless you have aircon that is run all day/night etc, then you wont need more than a singlet and wrap, with a jumpsuit at night. If you do run the aircon all the time, then you will probably just need some cotton onesies etc and it will be more than enough for bubs. The general rule of thumb is however many layers you have on, put an extra one on them, but of course if he is sweating madly then you would strip him down, likewise put a suit on if he feels cold.
ETA - as for hats, many of the tiny baby ones just don't cover their little faces well enough as the brims aren't wide enough. It would probably be best to get a shade cover for the pram and keep him out of the sun as much as possible.
just singlets mainly. I found DD used to sweat more if she didnt have a singlet on. ALl she wore through summer was singlets, shorts, and short sleeved onsies.
Ds was born mid dec and he lived in nappies and singlets. Most days i put a sleeveless and body suit (snap crotch thingy) on over the singlet. At night we wore the same with a muslin wrap and socks. We had the fan on in the room and the a/c going in the house most of the time.
Put it this way, you dont need much. I do remember having a couple of longer all in ones JIC and i did need to use them as we did have a few cooler days over christmas
I have had 2 summer bubs and mine lived in short all in ones suits, singlets and shorts/skirts. I avoided dresses because they ride up and are a PIA for newborns. You'll need heaps of large muslin wraps. For night my girls had a short all in one with light pants and were wrapped in a muslin wrap or slightly heavier cotton wrap. Or you could get a some very light long all in ones for night time too.
