I can't help much, but babies due next week so I've been looking for winter and summer bits as she will be very young!

I got a 'groegg' from Amazon which is amazing, it changed colour depending on the temperature of the room - the colour also indicates what baby should wear to bed (how many tog her sleeping bags need to be) so she's the perfect temperature at all times

Then obviously sleeping bags of some kind, you'll be wanting the thin ones in particular 1.0/1.5/2.0 😊

That's all I've bought that's really weather dependant.

If we have a really good summer again you'll want something long sleeve to keep her arms from burning, and also lots of caps or at least a shade for the pram etc

An extra large muslin is very useful as a light blanket/shade for pram etc. like a metre squared one.
