We had lots of singlets and those Bonds wondersuits. Claire didnt wear too much in her first month as it was still very warm (in march). I cant remember what Oct was like last year either? You'll probably want to dress bub in one of those suits at night anyway so theyre not cold. If you get pants, I would recommend pants with feet - because socks just fall off their tiny feet. Try to get suits that do up at the front. I found the ones that do up at the back are a bit too much effort. Get some wraps as well. Maybe also some mittens or smaller socks to put on the hands (i'd go the small socks as I found mittens just fell off straight away). Or Wondersuits have bits on the hands that you fold over and it becomes a mitten. Claire used to scratch herself up heaps so the socks on hands were good so it didnt look like we were bashing her up or something!
