i have only brought 000 all in ones, and singlets etc, figuring that me and dh are tall, so will have a tall baby. I also figure, that if it is to big, that baby will be wrapped, esp being winter, so doesnt matter all that much?
Well, thats my thoughts anyway. And, as i am having a surprise, makes it harder to go crazy on the whole cloths buying thing.
But, i still might get 0000, but, not to many.
What do people use as a going home outfit. Everyone talks about it, but, does everyone actually have one? Is it that important anyway, considering you are only going from hospital, to car, to home?
DD was 8lbs 10oz and a long baby (DH & I are both tall) and she was in 0000 for about 1.5 weeks. If it wasn't for her long legs she would still be in them as a lot of the 000 are too big but the 0000 are too small.
Kaz, if when you're in hosp you want a quick fix for size 0000 clothes, you can get "newborn essentials" kits at target. From memory, the pack I got had 4 singlets, 4 coveralls, 4 wraps, a beeny, mittens, several pairs of socks, 4 bibs. Everything was white but you can get gender specific versions (not sure of their contents though). I think I paid about $40 for my kit and it was a saviour in hospital and I felt they were better quality than some of the other things I've bought. I am still using the wraps (they are MASSIVE) and socks (they are different sizes).
