How many...?

[millennialprobs]

Hello, I'm hoping for some advice please😊
RE: baby shopping!

How many, of what items, (and what sizes) is best to purchase before baby gets here!?
Eg, 7x newborn sleep suits...
Etc.

Baby girl is due in November, autumn/winter baby.

Should we get some tiny baby stuff just in case?

Did you look forward and get 3-6 months stuff too? If so, what and how many?

I feel so overwhelmed with everything that needs to be bought. I have looked online but would rather some real experiences so we don't over/under buy. (I know we can always buy more if we need to, but I'd rather be as prepared as we can be).

Hope this post makes sense. Many thanks☺️

I wouldn’t bother with buying tiny baby just now (unless baby is expected to be small), as even if baby is born below the minimum weight suggested on the label, they could be long and therefore not be comfortable in a baby grow that size anyway!
0-1 month is usually a good size to go for initially, I’ve found (as have my friends with babies) that 0-3 month clothing is generally too big for a newborn, and also the majority of people that gift you clothing will go for 0-3 months so I wouldn’t stock up on those massively yet. I’d probably say around 7-10 0-1 month vests and sleepsuits/outfits should suffice but that’s my experience based on having quite sicky babies so multiple outfit changes, and also depends how often you’ll do washing.
With larger sizes, I only tended to buy in advance if for example, I saw something nice in the sale that would be weather appropriate by that age if that makes sense.

@OopsieeDaisy thank you very much for your advice☺️ I feel so overwhelmed by how much stuff we need to get! Thank you☺️
