Baby clothes shopping list

Everything you need for your baby’s wardrobe can be found in the list below. Please note, the numbers are only guidelines for the minimum number of each item of clothing we think you should have. If you want to buy more clothes go right ahead. Likewise, if you think you will be doing the laundry several times a week then you can probably afford to buy less clothes.

• 5 undershirts, vests and/or side-snap t-shirts
• 5 onesies/snap-crotch bodysuits
• 2 blanket sleepers (you’ll definitely need these if it’s winter)
• 3 pairs socks and/or booties
• 5 pajama sleepers
• 1-2 dress-up outfits (however, most parents end up with a selection of these, because it’s just so hard to not buy those cute outfits every time you see them).
• A sunhat and a cold weather hat
• 1 sweater
• Snowsuit/winter jacket (especially if it will be winter when your baby arrives).
  

  Feel free to buy the cutest clothes you can find!
