The Baby List - Clothing - the First Three Months

You asked me how much of everything you need (clothing) so here's the list.  For lookers on, keep in mind this is a Spring Baby.

• 6 x Short Sleeve all-in-one singlets Cotton Bonds (these are the ones that do up under the crotch, these are better on babies as they don't ride up.
• 3 x Cotton Vest Singlets (depending on how hot it is, you may not need these at all)
• 3 x Cotton Pyjamas (jumpsuits are best, bonds have cute ones, or cotton on)
• 3 x Warmer Jumpsuits like the bonds wondersuit (ugly but awesome)
• Other stuff for the day, dresses on baby girls are totally impractical, photo ops only
• 1 or 2 light cardigans, think layers according to weather.
• 2 x tiny baby bibs - David Jones usually stock them, they're specially for newborns
• 1 x hat - Pumpkin Patch and David Jones are the only places I've found that actually stock hats small enough for an absolute newborn.  Newbies need a hat whenever they're outside as they loose alot of heat through their head and their body temperature is not yet regulated.  Take off the hat as soon as you get inside though.
• 3 pairs of socks - I recommend the new bonds stay put socks, at least they stay put.

This is really all you need, but keep in mind, before the baby comes get all that stuff in size 000 and size 00.  The 000 will swim on the baby at first, but trust me, that will only last a week tops.

For the first couple of months all a baby does is sleep and eat, so clothing is not dirtied much unless you have a gastric baby who throws up all the time, in which case you'll just get used to getting puked on....good luck with that.
