Reddit mentions: The best baby girls blanket sleepers

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.

We had the temperature issue and then got Ecobee and put sensors around the house. At bedtime the thermostat runs off of the sensors in both the girls rooms, which are the hottest rooms in the house. Their rooms stay at 69/70 and our room goes down to 62 sometimes. Since my husband and I have mastered keeping covers on by now, we deal just fine. Also my daughter really liked these wearable blankets:

Think of onesies as tshirts for babies. They have snaps to keep them tucked in so their adorable baby bellies don't get cold.

The most useful article of baby clothing in the world is the footie pajama/sleep & play.

I am, too. For the blanket problem, I would recommend sleep sacks (wearable blankets).

Some space heaters will tell you the size of the room it's capable of heating, so you might want to look into that.

Thanks for posting this--I have the same question! It's starting to get colder here and we're not sure what to do.

Right now we're OK--the house is at 65F and we've been following these guides: Sleeperific and Cooking for My Baby.

We weren't sure how these guides fit with swaddling, so we're treating the swaddle as a 1-tog layer.

But I can see it will get colder soon. Our furnace automatically turns down to 55F at night and we can't really afford to turn it up (because my husband is an idiot, see post history for details, sigh).

This claims that their Special Product(tm) can be used down to 55F without a hat...we may try that. I'm even more unsure how that is supposed to work with a swaddle, though.

They're also available on Amazon with Prime shipping! Here's what my niece has to give you an idea.

PANDA PAJAMAS. Purple Nurple!

We'll be doing the same and are ordering this!
