Hi ladies,
Feeling rather overwhelmed by the choice and information out there about newborn baby clothes!
I'm currently 31 weeks, expecting a girl. I was 7lb 2oz so assuming my girl will be roughly the same? My husband is not that tall, nor are his parents (altho his brother is enormous!). Based on that I'm assuming I'll need newborn/0-1 for the first month before she gets into 0-3 month.
All the shops recommend 6-8 Sleepsuits and 6-8 body suits. Is that really necessary or are they just trying to sell stuff?
Are body suits worn under Sleepsuits? Do they get worn outside or is that where "All in Ones" come in? Do you even go outside for the first month, or are you too tired / still bleeding?
Due mid-Oct - am I best with long or short sleeved body suits? I can't work out if the things on sale are the end of summer stock or start of autumn.
I don't want to waste money but nor do I want to have to rush out in the first week and buy more clothes.
I'm sure people will buy us things when they come to visit but we won't know in advance what we'll get.
Has anyone got any tips?
