Reddit mentions: The best baby boys socks

Graco lounger ( pretty much Graco version on rock and play) this was one of those items i held off on but man is it amazing and glad i got it.

At home i used my moby daily until LO was about 4 months after than my favorite thing was my Ergo 360.

I really liked having a bassinet near my bed but LO only liked this for a few weeks and once i finally got him to like his crib ( about 2.5 mths ) we moved the crib to by my bed until he was 6 mths or so.

My best and most treasured item after he was out the newborn stage was the zipadeezip, this thing saved my sanity and finally got my kiddo sleeping long stretches and in his crib. Kiddo hated swaddles.

Halo swaddles are nice for the start and i used these a lot in his first month but then he refused to be in them.

This Socks on allows me to use any socks and not loose them - Sock Ons Clever Little Things That Keep Baby Socks On! 3 Pack Boys 0 - 6 Months https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0091WJN2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_LsPjxbYPHYJ87

Getting a few lingerie bags to wash socks in will also be helpful - i keep 1 at the laundry hamper and put socks and mittens in then when out the wash i just put it away in the bag, really haven't lost any socks or mittens using this method combined with the socks on

Outfits that allow you to fold the cuffs over will help with newborn talons that they always slash themselves with even thou you cut them every few days.

I love the bathtub we went with, he used it as a newborn and still does at 17 mths -Fisher-Price 4-in-1 Sling N Seat Tub https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2MQ0EQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_5GPjxbRNH9R6W

If in the US look at target (cartwheel too) for amazing deals they usually have formula and diapers with giftcards back. I have walked out with $70 in giftcards.
They usually can have buy 2-3 giant diaper packs get $30/$20 back, buy 3 cans of formula get $20 back and spend $150 get $20 back so if you get those all together it is awesome.

Oballs really last a lifetime.

Some sort of playmat, mine could lay on his for so long kicking around.

Gratz on your little one and good luck, you are going to be an amazing mom.

Edit to add: love my diaper genie ( LO now tosses his diapers away for me it is adorable) and also Love Dr. Brown bottles (lots of parts but love the bottle) the Dr. Brown sanitizer and warmer were also used a lot.

Congrats on your sobriety! That's awesome :)


If this doesn't scream childish, then I don't know what does!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY HDATZ! :)

It's hard to say - my son was 6lbs 12oz at birth and ended up wearing NB sizes for two months.

Knowing what I know now, I'd go with something like this -

Newborn:

Two packs of these sleep gowns - so you'll have 6 total. This is what my son wore... 80% of the time for a few months. Night and day - they allow the easiest access for diaper changes, especially with a sleeping baby. And no buttons or zippers to fuck with at 3am. Seriously - the best.

One Pack of the Gerber Onesies - so you've got 8 onesies that can be bleached if you need to.

One Pack of Leggings/Pants - so you'll have 4 pants total that you can throw over the onesies if you need to layer up.

One Pack of Socks - this is my favorite brand. They've never fallen off of my son in 17 months. As a newborn I'd put them on and pull them up over his pants and that helped keep them on before his feet grew big enough to hold them up. The pack I got were white, which don't seem to be available right now on Amazon, but if you can find white - DOOO EEEET. No one wants to try to match up 24 socks when they're sleep deprived. Just do white. Also - wash these in a mesh bag so they don't get lost to the sock monster.

Two Packs of Fleece Footies - depending on how cold it gets, fleece or cotton zipper footies. 4 pairs total will get you through the times you don't want to dress baby but need to be able to buckle her into a carset (which you can't do with the gowns).

That's pretty much all my son wore for months, barring like... his Christmas outfit, etc.

For 0-3 Months it's basically the same thing, just sized up. You'll figure out pretty quick which clothes work best for you and how many you need. My son, for example, ended up having horrible reflux. He spit up more than 10 average babies combined - so I think we ended up with around 50 onesies in 3-6 month sizing that all got worn multiple times. We went through around 7 outfit changes a day, even with bandanna bibs. So - lots of laundry. Also noteworthy is that this is when he started daycare, so we needed extra onesies for his earthquake kit, his emergency kit, his cubby, his diaper bag, etc - at least 7-10 onesies stashed places that never actually got used (so... save the godawful onesies you got as gifts but thought you'd never use for these emergency kits!).

But honestly - get you some Amazon Prime and your problems will be solved. Underbuy what you think you'll need clothing wise, and then when it becomes apparent that you need more of X, Y, or Z, load up your Amazon cart and you'll have it in two days.

Mine are knit cotton and feel warm but my house rarely dips below 67 even in the winter. I’m sure you could find wool ones if you live in a colder climate. As for socks, these things are pretty cool

My baby daughter could always use new cute stuff! :) From my WL 'Things for Kiddo' are these adorable socks including one with purple dots! Thanks for the contest.

CHRISTMAS!!

And Christmas Baby Socks with SANTAS FACE! because I love miniature people and all the clothes I see for them :)

Sock Ons! Seriously, they're pretty goofy looking, but they keep socks on all day. I'm not big on unnecessary baby gadgetry, but they are awesome.

I love these.

Try these. I was gonna recommend them to OP but I don't think she has the same issue as you described. My daughter was tiny and had super skinny feet and for several months these were the only things that would stay on her. The socks are stretchy and the whole sock grips the entire foot/ankle so it clings to the foot and doesn't slide down at all.

1. /u/Dawlkins !!!!!!!
   
   2 and 3. She needs these for her "small human" because he needs to learn the awesomeness that is Batman at a young age :-D. Plus, he will be the coolest kid with capes on his socks :-)
   
   Thanks for the contest!

These socks work well for us. The material is nice and soft and they stay on really well.

I dont buy any thing that requires me snapping all the way from the leg to the chest... aint nobody got time for that. We ONLY do zippered pajamas at my house. Also to keep socks up we use sock onz which are amazing!!

My son needs these socks because he keeps losing his and it's too cold now to go without.
Alternately, I need this book to help me with my job.

Thanks for the contest!!

Just need a black baby top hat

I've never gotten them myself, but people swear by these things.

Sock Ons!

I haven't tried them yet - I think it's too cold for bare feet too (we're in MN) but I keep losing the battle of socks so I figure I'll give these a shot this winter.
