What do babies wear?

[PoppyAmex]

35 weeks with my first child and just started buying clothes but I'm seriously confused.

The only thing I'm sure of is that I want to dress my baby in really comfy "baby" clothes until she starts crawling. I can't bear the idea of outfits and especially dislike the idea of buttons, zippers and uncomfortable looking fabrics, but then it all gets really confusing...

Is a vest the same as a bodysuit? What's their purpose? Do they go under something?
Is a sleepsuit the same as a babygrow? Can you wear them just on top of nappies?
Do all babygrows/sleepsuits have poppers at the front? (the ones that tie that at back look fiendishly hard to to put on!)
How many of each did you get and how many can you get through a day?

Any help would be great (don't be afraid to patronise me)!

In my experience, yes, socks fall off, but then so did mittens past new-born age and then you have the sheer terror of cutting the baby's nails to deal with!

I used to bite my DS' instead of cutting them.

LCarbury How far up their arms did you have the socks? My friend swears by using the kind with the ribbed top that fold over to make ankle socks but putting them on their hands and up their arms unfolded.

Sorry place marking so I can find this again!
