So I'm due on the 1/1/19, I already have 1 little girl but she was born in the summer time, I was just wondering what kind of clothes should I be putting my baby in? Long sleeved vests and a sleepsuit?

If you have central heating, your house will be more than warm enough to just have the baby in a vest and sleepsuit with one blanket. SIDS advice is to not let babies sleep in a room over 20 degrees.

When leaving the house a vest, sleepsuit, jacket and hat with one or two blankets in a pram is sufficient unless it’s freezing then a snowsuit.

It's really not that bad. DS was born 2/1 and our house was warm enough. When out we had vest, sleep suit and cardigan, hat and blanket (usually 2). Remember no thick layers in the carseat!

My baby is due 2/1/19 and I am just packing long sleeve sleep-suits and short sleeved bodysuits to go under the sleep-suits for my hospital bag plus I will be packing a coming home outfit when I decide on one!

January will be cold so long sleeve jumpers, tops, that sort of thing really what we wear in winter, all in ones also for when out and about and a blanket.

Just remember anything like coats snowsuits to take off before strapping them into car seat as I've heard they aren't safe to travel in
