How many sleepsuits & vests?

I want DS to be in sleepsuits day & night until at least 6 months old.

I’ve bought so far
7 sleepsuits and vests - Newborn/7lbs
14 sleepsuits and vests - Up to 1 month/10lb
14 sleepsuits and vests - 0-3 months

Does this sound enough? Bought a cardigan in each size too. Worried I haven’t got enough

Do you have a tumble drier? Will someone else be helping with your laundry?
I had ten of each size. In the first few weeks, my son peed everywhere during most nappy changes, and regurgitated a lot during /after feeding. We don't have a drier. My Mum was doing most of our laundry, and we ran out a few times, when she hadn't brought the previous day's back yet. Just had to put him in too big ones temporarily.
He is 6 weeks now, and we probably average 2 in 24h now, so we have plenty.
0-3m seems to be the most popular size to receive as gifts. I have been swapping as many as I can.
We've only used two cardigans so far, but I suppose that's weather dependent.
We had to buy more cellular blankets. I thought I would use sleeping bags, but found them a faff with the constant feeding and nappy changing. We have 3 blankets now, and I'm thinking about trying the sleeping bags again as things are easier now.
We have about 10 muslins, and I've just ordered more... Some babies hardly puke though.

As PP said it depends on how sicky they are! It also depends on the size they arrive and if you intend on dressing them in outfits. My DD appeared early so at 5 months is just going into 0-3 🙈 she’s also started wearing a lot of outfits so we have a lot of baby grows and she now only wears them at night, but hey!

I’d stick with what you have for now, see what you get as gifts and then you can always add to them! Most places deliver pretty quickly and the supermarkets all have lovely ranges too!

Yeah we have a dryer. I’ll be doing the laundry myself as it’s only me at home. I don’t expect to be receiving any gifts as it’s only myself and my DH neither of us have any family. I have a DS at school so washing machine is on quite a few times during the week to wash uniform. Hopefully we’ll be ok with what I’ve got so far.

I’ve bought too much. I only bothered with 0-3 months because my three DC were all ten pounders and this one is also measuring ahead. I’d guess he has about 50 sleepsuits/outfits Blush.
