I fully agree with PT-Lawmom about the diaper issue.<BR/><BR/>As for size: find out how big you and your husband were as babies. One of mine was premie so doesn't count, but the other was only 6.5 lbs and was in newborn stuff for the full three months.<BR/><BR/>Pants were a royal pain. Some newborns are going through diapers on an hourly basis and being wrapped up in a blanket is the most they need. One tip: when the little guy starts crawling he'll crawl right out of pants. Overalls are the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-63057694487723944682007-06-09T14:07:00.000-05:002007-06-09T14:07:00.000-05:00Don't buy too much in newborn size unless you are ...Don't buy too much in newborn size unless you are very petite yourself. My son was a very average 7lbs, 11oz, but he grew out of newborn in a matter of weeks (maybe 3?) and was right into 3 month clothes. I have so many wonderful leftover clothes from that time that he never even wore.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I definitely agree that rompers/overalls are a good alternative to pants. Anything one-piece with easy diapering access is good. I found pants kind of hard to deal with when changing diapers 10-14 times/day.PT-LawMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003033623703820510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-84865862632390688392007-06-08T18:15:00.000-05:002007-06-08T18:15:00.000-05:00Yes, buy newborn stuff, you will want clothes that...Yes, buy newborn stuff, you will want clothes that fit during the first month. Since you'll have a summer baby, you have it easy -- he can just wear a onesie over a diaper, and personally I like baby pants and would have two pairs on hand for cooler weather. I would say about 12 newborn onesies and a few 3 month ones so you'll have something for when he grows out of them, plus some bibs for spitup. (If you're not doing the bibs, get half a dozen more onesies.)CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318639374313150663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-80044203905621594082007-06-08T15:14:00.000-05:002007-06-08T15:14:00.000-05:00There are a lot of baby clothing stores online, wh...There are a lot of <A HREF="http://www.sandboxcouture.com" REL="nofollow">baby clothing</A> stores online, which can help you decide what you need!

I do a lot of babysitting and my little ones are usually in a white onesie (imagine that as an undershirt), a top, and a pair of pants. They have examples at www.hannaandersson.com (my favorite baby clothes spot, albeit kind of pricey). My best friend LOVES their rompers for the summer time.<BR/>Hope that helps...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320350048799298221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-37850841745323012172007-06-06T18:26:00.000-05:002007-06-06T18:26:00.000-05:00Blankets people.

In the daytime we kept him swaddled if it was cool. You can also do leggings if you really feel like you need pants.PT-LawMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003033623703820510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-42194854856012250852007-06-06T16:59:00.000-05:002007-06-06T16:59:00.000-05:00Ha - I've been obsessed with baby pants, and I fou...Ha - I've been obsessed with baby pants, and I found out they do indeed sell them, but they're not always easy to find. <BR/><BR/>I love the little onesies, but I also worry about our baby being cold all winter with bare legs.<BR/><BR/>There are a bunch of sites out there that tell you the bare necessities for baby "layettes" - aka their wardrobe. Some contradictory stuff, but I've just bought a few onesies, a few sleepers, a few t-shirts, and a baby hoody... I'm all about second hand stores in posh neighbourhoods. Etsy.com also has some adorable stuff.<BR/><BR/>My friend told me onesies are key as they wear them under the rompers so their drool doesn't soak right through or something... I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
