Anyways, think of it this way: your baby is going to be growing very quickly. Not only that, but you're basically stuck in the house for the first few weeks anyways. My son wore mostly pajamas. He's 8 weeks old now and I'm already packing away the 0-3 month stuff...and some he's only worn a few times.
Just some thoughts:
- Get at least a few newborn items...even if you have a big baby like mine, he will still need some newborn stuff...but don't go crazy.
- Definitely think about seasons. I couldn't resist buying certain items and now I'm not sure if he'll get to wear them.
- Pajamas with snaps are a PAIN in the middle of the night...look for those with zippers. My son is just now fitting into the sleeper sacks (that say 0-9 months) and I'm so happy! Thank goodness we just had a cold front!
- People love to buy baby clothes. See what they get you at your baby showers before you spend your money on them.
- Leave tags on stuff until you know s/he is going to wear it...clothes are worth more money with the tags still on them!
I swore if I had a kid I was going to the village discount outlet on 5 cent mondays. LOL
